Shocker: Natural Covid Immunity Provides Just as Much Protection, If Not More, Than the Non-Vaccination Vaccinations

Really? You don't say? Natural immunity due to previous exposure is a powerful protection against covid as it is against almost all other diseases?

And you're just getting around to this conclusion now, huh?

Immunity acquired from a Covid infection is as protective as vaccination against severe illness and death, study finds
The immunity generated from an infection was found to be "at least as high, if not higher" than that provided by two doses of an mRNA vaccine.

Immunity acquired from a Covid infection provides strong, lasting protection against the most severe outcomes of the illness, according to research published Thursday in The Lancet -- protection, experts say, that's on par with what's provided through two doses of an mRNA vaccine.

Infection-acquired immunity cut the risk of hospitalization and death from a Covid reinfection by 88% for at least 10 months, the study found.

"This is really good news, in the sense that protection against severe disease and death after infection is really quite sustained at 10 months," said the senior study author, Dr. Christopher Murray, the director of the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington.

The findings may be a small silver lining to the explosive omicron outbreak of last winter. With so many people infected, many most likely still benefit from that protection against severe disease, Murray said.

Still, experts stress that vaccination is the preferable route to immunity, given the risks of Covid, particularly in unvaccinated people.

Of course they claim that. They always have to shill for the vaccine.

What he's saying, as the next few paragraphs explain, is that it's better to get vaccinated than to say, and I quote him, "I'm going to get infected to get immunity." That is, it's better to get the vaccine than to go bug-chasing to get sick just to get subsequent immunity.

Um, literally no one does that. So yes, a vaccine is better than that. (Maybe... except for the risks associated with the vaccine, which are still unknown/unacknowledged.)

But a vaccine is not better than acquired immunity. Acquired immunity is stronger than the non-vaccination vaccination's immunity.

But MSNBC had to contrive a goofy scenario so that a doctor could shill for the vaccine and undermine what the science -- the real science, I mean -- actually says.

I know someone might object and say they didn't know for certain that prior exposure to covid provided strong immunity -- as prior exposure to almost any specific strain of disease confers immunity -- but they never even allowed that this was a serious possibility. They refused to ever take prior exposure into account, and kept insisting that natural immunity either did not exist with covid or provided weaker protection than the non-vaccination vaccination, so you'd better get vaccinated even if you previously had covid, to get "hybrid" immunity!

Literally all they ever do is lie, and then run to social media monopolies to ban people for noticing that all they ever do is lie.
