COVID Antibodies Found In People Pre Pandemic Sept 2019 | Pfizer Vaccine Effectiveness Drops to 11% After Only 1 Month | COVID Emergency Dept. Visits Down To Historic Low Of 0.47%
Below is some recently released information you should be aware of. The most important of which indicates positive seroprevelance (SARS-CoV-2 antibodies) in blood samples of people back from early September 2019 pre-pandemic. Also, a new Qatar study reveals less than 11% vaccine effectiveness against infection and symptomatic disease only a month after dose 2, and even worse after booster. Keep scrolling to check out what you missed, and what you really should know.

A South African prospective cohort study examining 1,200 households for Wuhan, Alpha, Beta & Delta infection confirmed by serology & RT-PCR revealed 85% of COVID cases to be asymptomatic. Also, transmission was equal regardless of symptoms.
That means many, or even most, had a brush with a realized or unrealized COVID-19 infection at one point or another which conferred robust and long lasting immunity. It is to that extent, one could speculate with a degree of certainty that most protection against severe disease + death could have been from natural infection for many and not simply, or mostly, from vaccines. Of course more data is needed on this matter to make more accurate assessments.

European blood banks find serum with Covid antibodies back from September and November of 2019. So, even if everyone locked down, vaccinated, masked & social distanced, it would have done little to bend the trajectory of the virus
