Past COVID infection 'as good as vaccines' at preventing severe illness

[onthedarkside]

 

While the research suggests that natural immunity could be just as good as vaccines at preventing serious illness from COVID-19 infection, the study's authors encourage people to still get vaccinated, to avoid any complications from any initial infections.

 

Previous COVID infection boosts long-term immunity and lowers the risk of hospitalisation and death at the same level as vaccination, new peer-reviewed research shows.

 

The study, led by the University of Washington and published by The Lancet medical journal, is said to be the "most comprehensive study to date" on the impact of natural immunity for the disease.

You do understand that over a million people died trying to gain natural immunity..

We've known about the power of natural immunity for 2,500 years, ever since Herodotus wrote about it during The Plague of Athens (446BC).

 

It shows how remarkable the Covid panic was, that for three years this piece of ancient well-established knowledge was forgotten about, discarded, derided or ignored.

Well, to be fair, there is a significant contingent of members who would make such a comment seriously.

What you failed to note was that the typhus epidemic killed thousands of Athenians, among them Pericles, their leader, during the early phase of the Peloponnesian war.  Do you believe that if there has been a typhus vaccine available to the Athenians, the wise course would have been not to be vaccinated?

And, by the way, it was Thucydides, not Herodotus, who reported on the Plague which occurred around 430 BC.

Seems us "crazy conspiracy theorists" aren't so crazy after all… and this is just the beginning.

 

The difference between a "conspiracy theory" and the truth is 1 to 2 years. Friendly reminder (Nov 2021):

Amazing who'd have thought that since that study the variants changed a number of times which in turn changed the efficacy of vaccines
