‘Bombshell’ study finds natural immunity superior to vaccination

A major study conducted by Israeli researchers into natural immunity has found that immunity acquired via infection from Covid-19 is superior to immunity from the Pfizer vaccine.

Researchers at Maccabi Healthcare and Tel Aviv University compared the outcomes of over 76,000 Israelis in three groups: the doubly vaccinated (with the Pfizer vaccine), the previously infected but unvaccinated, and the previously infected with only a single vaccine dose.

They found that fully vaccinated but uninfected people were significantly more likely to have a “breakthrough” Covid infection than people who had previously been infected and recovered from the disease.

“This study demonstrated that natural immunity confers longer lasting and stronger protection against infection, symptomatic disease and hospitalisation caused by the Delta variant,” the authors conclude.

The study is only published as a preprint at this stage and has not been peer reviewed. Critics including British immunologist Andrew Croxford have pointed out potential limitations, but it has been described by infectious diseases expert Professor Francois Balloux as a “bombshell” development.

If the findings are confirmed, the implications for global Covid policy will be profound.

How could this be? For a year or more I’ve been told everything I was taught about how the immune system works was wrong.

My only response is…. DUH! The only real bombshell, IMHO, would have been if the study had found the opposite … with vaccination immunity being stronger than natural immunity.

But yet American government and businesses are pushing vaccination mandates, I believe, knowing full well the vaccines are junk and just a profit making scheme by bug pharma.

OMG! Amazing! almost 100 years of Immunology and Infectious Disease, research, studies and Science is validated to still be in play for the Fauci Flu!!

I guess the problem with that is some people get super sick or die while aquireing natural immunity

May be best to get vaxxed and then have a mild case if you have one at all

If they hadn’t quarantined everyone and just watched over the elderly, we would have achieved herd immunity very early in the game.

My immune system has been perhaps millions of years in development vs less than a year...

**********************************************************
No, the vaccines are not junk. A long time friend of our family recently came down with COVID-19. He is in his 80s and fortunately he had been vaccinated earlier this year so his breakthrough “case” was like a mild cold for several days. Had he not been vaccinated his case likely would have MUCH WORSE. He now has had natural immunity in addition to the more narrow immunity he had acquired through vaccination.

We’re suffering a vain, superficial society where falsehoods are just as relevant as truthfulness. And the malicious ones have learned that the falsehoods can be used as an arbitrary mechanism to inflict suffering on the arbitrary groups that rely on truth.

We are confronting an evil that must be tamed.

I think it should depend on individual circumstances and the personal freedom to choose.

Zero comorbidities, and I take excellent care of myself.
You, or anyone else, can have my three doses.

Golly gee. Are they saying that the immune system God gave us is a good thing? Who’da thunk it?

Natural immunity is great if you get it. The drawback is sometimes you die before you it kicks in.

Mother nature is always the best...for a reason.

She got our species this far, but I’m sure we’ll find a way to screw it up.

It’s not a bombshell it’s obvious biology.

The media and government have spewed nothing but disinformation and propaganda on this, ignoring basics of immunology.

Having had the disease always confers stronger immunity than a vaccine.

I know many unvaccinated 80-year old’s that had the mild version. Many with comorbidities.
