4 Reasons Natural Immunity Is More Protective Against COVID Than Vaccinating
Here are some important studies on natural immunity. Essentially, they compare protection against the virus from previous infection and vaccination. Guess which worked better? Now, just so it’s clear, this doesn’t mean go get COVID, it simply means the data is now revealing a prior brush with the virus can provide amazing protection against symptomatic reinfection.
Next, some people are spinning these studies to support vaccines (crazy right?) when the data really shows the jabs providing inferior immunity to prior infection (at least in these data). Anyways, keep scrolling to see what you’ve missed.
Greater neutralizing antibody titers against BA1 & BA2 seen in those previously infected (3249,2248) VS boosted (1066,776). Thus, natural immunity reigns superior yet again

In a new Israeli study of healthcare workers, vaccine efficacy with 4 doses against any SARS-CoV-2 infection dropped to a low 30% (95% confidence interval [CI], −9 to 55) for BNT162b2/Pfizer and 11% (95% CI, −43 to 44) for mRNA-1273/Moderna
