Importantly, the Cornell University-funded study found that both natural immunity and vaccines offer “strong and durable protection” against Covid-related hospitalization and death.
While it’s true that immunization wanes, new scientific research from The New England Journal of Medicine suggests natural immunity lasts longer than immunity acquired from vaccines.
The study, a case–control analysis based on data from Qatar collected from December 23, 2021 through February 21, 2022, involved millions of people, including 1,306,862 who received at least two doses of the Pfizer vaccine (BNT162b2) and 893,671 people who received at least two doses of the Moderna vaccine (mRNA-1273), as well unvaccinated individuals.
The best news is that “any form of previous immunity, whether induced by previous infection or vaccination, is associated with strong and durable protection against Covid-19–related hospitalization and death.” (In other words, both vaccines and natural immunity reduce the risk of hospitalization or death from Covid.)
“The combination of prior, full vaccination and prior infection was maximally protective,” researchers said in a summary of the study’s findings released last month by the Weill Cornell Medicine Newsroom. “Individuals with prior infection and three doses of either mRNA vaccine were, overall, nearly 80 percent protected from symptomatic infection during the omicron wave.”
“A key finding was that a history of vaccination with the standard two doses of either the Pfizer or Moderna mRNA vaccine, but no history of prior infection, brought no significant protection against symptomatic omicron infection,” researchers said.
In regards to the Pfizer vaccine, three shots offered considerably more protection. But the protection was still lower than natural immunity, which offered stronger and more sustained protection from infection than vaccination. (Researchers noted that “people with a prior-variant infection were moderately protected from omicron with little decline in protection even a year after their prior infection.”)

Remember the CDC runs on Politics not Science
In other words, the vaccines are pretty much useless. They can’t deny it any longer.
The medical industry is still in denial. I have a SIL that is vax crusader. You can’t tell her that Fauci doesn’t walk on water (when he’s not torturing beagles).
So what they’re finally admitting is God’s design is better than man’s design.
The article falsely asserts that both natural immunity and vaccination work. Toxic lies. It also makes the case for another round of boosters. They aren’t done harming the public yet.
This is surprising because?
If God wants to take me out, so be it. I don’t want to be taken out as a punishment for the use of aborted fetuses.
The unvaxed new that when everyone else but them were getting recurrance infections.
So says the vaunted NEJM?
This must be unsettling news for some.
I’m a pureblood with natural immunity. When I had it, it was like a very mild cold. I know a lot of people who are now regretting their decision to take the needle, my wife included. I have no such regrets about my refusing to take the needle.
Imagine that.
Strange how the study found 2 doses barely effective but 3 were almost as good as natural immunity.
Effectiveness against symptomatic Omicron BA.1 infection was as follows (BNT162b2):
Previous infection without vaccination, 50.2%.
Two-dose vaccination without previous infection, 4.9% (i.e., negligible).
Three-dose vaccination without previous infection, 59.6%.
Two-dose vaccination with previous infection, 51.7%.
Three-dose vaccination with previous infection, 74.4%.
In all 5 groups:
Effectiveness was >90% against severe COVID-19, critical COVID-19, or death (collectively 0.3% of cases) caused by BA.1.

5 Caribbean cruises, hundreds of restaurant visits, hundreds of shopping visits to stores, since September 2021.
And still no covid! Had 4 jabs of experimental vaccine starting in Feb 2021. No side effects from the jabs.
Ever wonder why all anti-vaxxers never had the jab themselves? Reminds me of virgins scared of sex coz they read about all those nasty STDs.
Tell that to all those who died from the vaccine, see how they feel about your 'lucky fortunes'.

Meanwhile, still no articles about whether or not healthcare employees required to get CoupFlu vaxxes have turned into superspreaders inside their places of employment...
Tell me about 260 MILLION Americans who have been jabbed and have avoided more serious attack of Covid.
What is your count of deaths form covid out of those 260 million?
Ping
Tell me about 260 MILLION Americans who have been jabbed and have avoided more serious attack of Covid.
There’s that CDC provided number of ‘Americans who have been jabbed’, again.
I highly doubt it’s been that many. CDC are admitted liars, so there’s that.
