OK, we now have 5 studies whose results are different from this one study. Which one to believe and why?
Just today, we had this study come out....
RECOVERED COVID-19 FOLKS HAVE MORE POTENT ANTIBODY RESPONSE THAN VACCNATED FOLKS : 👇👇
A new study has found that individuals that have previously contracted COVID-19 show a more potent antibody response than those who were solely vaccinated for the respiratory virus.
Conducted by a research team at Rockefeller University in New York, the analysis found “that between a first (prime) and second (booster) shot of either the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna vaccine, the memory B cells of infection-naïve individuals produced antibodies that evolved increased neutralizing activity against SARS-CoV-2,” but also that “no additional increase in the potency or breadth of this activity was observed thereafter.”
The study’s findings add to further mounting evidence detailing the level of protection natural immunity offers previously infected COVID-19 patients. Last month, Emory University published an extensive investigation describing the efficiency of long-term immunity against the respiratory virus. Similar discoveries have also been identified in research released by the Cleveland Clinic and the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, respectively.

[EXCERPT]
Coronavirus patients who recovered from the virus were far less likely to become infected during the latest wave of the pandemic than people who were vaccinated against COVID, according to numbers presented to the Israeli Health Ministry.
Health Ministry data on the wave of COVID outbreaks which began this May show that Israelis with immunity from natural infection were far less likely to become infected again in comparison to Israelis who only had immunity via vaccination.
SO, WHICH STUDY RESULTS TO BELIEVE?
This is a useless study because it’s timeline is entirely before the delta variant. The vaccines were designed based on the Wuhan variant. They work against the Wuhan variant. They fail against the delta variant. That’s exactly what Israel and the UK have figured out. And what the US is about to figure out. Natural immunity ultimately works better against new variants because the current vaccines were laser focused on the old. In both Israel and the UK, only about 1% of COVID infections were people who had already recovered from COVID. All the smug vaccinated people in this country who think they are immune are going to learn the hard way that their vaccines can’t keep up with COVID.
Thanks for the collection of links to studies with the opposite conclusion.
Who to believe, indeed!
I know! The answer is so simple! Just “follow the science.”
Deep state going all in now. Basically anything from a US government agency I am wary of at this point
This study seems to show that previous infection, combined with vaccination, prevents a second infection, more than previous infection alone. This is not surprising, anyone with a previous infection has a (for example) 98% reduction in chance of a second infection, and vaccination produces a 95% reduction in subsequent infection, then having precious infection PLUS vaccination should produce a 99%+ reduction in chance of infection. The headline is just the usual misleading Covid clickbait nonsense.
SO, WHICH STUDY RESULTS TO BELIEVE?"
One flaw may be that unvaccinated may tend to be more careless in interaction, while a key aspect is that of being infected with variants and being merely infected versus recovering. The article states, "The odds of getting infected with the virus, which causes COVID-19, were 2.3 times higher among people who had been infected before when compared to those who were fully vaccinated, according to the new report." Acquired immunity may provide a more robust resistance to variants.
