I work as a physician in Stockholm, Sweden. I studied medicine at the Karolinska Institute and graduated in January 2020.
I am a proponent of evidence based medicine. In other words, I think that medical diagnosis and treatment should be guided by the scientific evidence, not by expert opinion or personal anecdote, and certainly not by salespeople working for pharmaceutical companies.
Unfortunately, much of what is written on the topic of health and medicine on the internet is just plain wrong. That applies even to much of what is written on supposedly serious medical web sites. That’s why I started this web site, to improve (however modestly) the information-to-misinformation ratio on the internet.

Interesting.
Very interesting. So because I have had Covid, I am just as least likely to get Covid again as someone who has been vaccinated.
So why should I get vaccinated and take the risk, very very small risk, of having any adverse reactions or consequences from these vaccines?
Summary:
92-93% risk reduction for having a prior infection, statistically the same as the faux ‘vaccines’.
I’ll go further:
As I stated months ago, we’d have reached a theoretical herd immunity by September of last year if they’d just put kids in school over the summer, the safest months of the year. I also stand behind prior statements that the total deaths would have remained unchanged, if anything reduced under other such ‘sane’ measures.
But without their artificial ‘crisis’ they couldn’t stage multiple multi-trillion dollar bills or coerce the population into compliance, now could they?
To make someone else feel better

RE: As I stated months ago, we’d have reached a theoretical herd immunity by September of last year
The question is herd immunity to what variant of the Coronavirus? Maybe the original, but we have variants from the UK, Brazil, South Africa and double variants from India and who knows how many more?
You are likely even MORE protected, if you’ve had china flu, naturally....

...But I think we should just recognize that it’s (Covid) is going to be here. [ransomnote: Stopping at the 20:22 minute mark in the video. There’s another 10 minutes to the video which I will transcribe later. He does say if you’ve had Covid, you have immunity for an average of 17 years and is against vaccinating those who have already had Covid]...

@EricTopol
Much on T-cell for vaccines & variants is unknown.
A @GladstoneInst preprint sheds light:
—Prior covid + vaccine -> very strong response w/ homing
—Supports: (1) need for vaccine w/ prior covid, (2) just 1-dose, and (3) marked protection vs variants”

And a thread on natural immunity:

“Older immune systems have an increasing tendency to mistarget the virus, paying too much attention to its Nucleocapsid and Open Reading Frame 8 proteins, and not enough attention to the Spike protein”
Glad to see pre-prints about natural immunity! Interesting!
RE: Older immune systems have an increasing tendency to mistarget the virus
So, mistargeting viruses increases with a person’s age?
So why should I get vaccinated and take the risk, very very small risk, of having any adverse reactions or consequences from these vaccines?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The risks with vaccination are largely unknown but we do know that the CDC/Fauci say that the vaccinated will have to continue to have additional ‘shots’ (e.g., ‘boosters) and that the CDC has declared those additional ‘shots’ will not have to undergo testing.
Well, what they’re saying is that the immune system targets the whole virus instead of the spike.
The spike is like, to this layman, the armor attack of a Blitzkreig. Fighting against other parts of the opposing force is futile as the armor overruns the defense.
Hope my analogy is helpful.
RE: Well, what they’re saying is that the immune system targets the whole virus instead of the spike.
I can understand this. But what does a person’s age have to do with it?
You’ll just have to click on the link. I’m a layman on the subject.

If the study of Medicine in Sweden is anything like in America, he’s just beginning his serious learning. He is, at most, a second year resident and still “wet behind his ears”. The article is right… natural immunity is definitely as good as mRNA vaccine prepared immunity.
“natural immunity is definitely as good as mRNA vaccine prepared immunity.”
Studies I’ve seen show that one shot of mRNA vaccine gives significantly better protection. than “wild” infection.
Of course there may be a bias there.
Not according to the British study in the linked article. If conducted as described it would have provided statistically valid results.
What link please?
OK, both my husband and I have had covid ... twice. We had different rates of recovery, but recover we did. We got covid for the second time at nearly 10 months to the day from the onset of the first bout. A friend of mine had a similar experience, only she went 11 months between bouts.
For what it’s worth.
