Famous Covid Study That Shows Natural Immunity is Superior to Vaccinated Immunity is Replicated by Scientists

"Thus, the vaccinated previously uninfected individuals are two-to-three times more likely to be reinfected after six months than unvaccinated previously infected individuals."

The Covid pandemic has led to the constant refrain from U.S. public health authorities to 'get vaccinated' at all costs. However, there is one missing aspect to the conversation that most of the American public has ignored: Natural immunity.

A widely cited scientific study that shows natural immunity is superior to vaccinated immunity has been independently replicated. The famous Israeli study thus continues to grow in scientific reliability.

The latest study states that: "Confirmed infection rates increased according to time elapsed since the last immunity-conferring event in all cohorts. For unvaccinated previously infected individuals they increased from 10.5 per 100,000 risk-days for those previously infected 4-6 months ago to 30.2 for those previously infected over a year ago. For individuals receiving a single dose following prior infection they increased from 3.7 per 100,000 person days among those vaccinated in the past two months to 11.6 for those vaccinated over 6 months ago. For vaccinated previously uninfected individuals the rate per 100,000 person days increased from 21.1 for persons vaccinated within the first two months to 88.9 for those vaccinated more than 6 months ago."

Thus, the vaccinated previously uninfected individuals are two-to-three times more likely to be reinfected after six months than unvaccinated previously infected individuals. One of the more useful aspects of this study is that it unpacks the overlap between vaccinated immunity and natural immunity; some research suggests the overlap between the two categories may be as high as 60-70%. Therefore, claims about "vaccinated immunity" may be benefiting from the fact that over half of the United States is estimated to have natural immunity.

The conclusion from the researchers who replicated the Israeli study: "Protection from reinfection decreases with time since previous infection, but is, nevertheless, higher than that conferred by vaccination with two doses at a similar time since the last immunity-conferring event. A single vaccine dose after infection helps to restore protection."

Earlier, an Israeli study came to similar conclusions.

“This study demonstrated that natural immunity confers longer lasting and stronger protection against infection, symptomatic disease and hospitalization caused by the Delta variant of SARS-CoV-2, compared to the BNT162b2 two-dose vaccine-induced immunity,” an Israeli study said.

Based on cases, the CDC’s figures estimate that at least 200 million Americans have been infected with Covid-19, thus possessing superior natural immunity.
