How effective is immunity after Covid recovery relative to vaccination? An Israeli study by Gazit et al. found that the vaccinated have a 27 times higher risk of symptomatic infection than the Covid recovered. At the same time, the vaccinated were nine times more likely to be hospitalized for Covid. In contrast, a CDC study by Bozio et al. claims that the Covid recovered are five times more likely to be hospitalized for Covid than the vaccinated. Both studies cannot be right.
I have worked on vaccine epidemiology since I joined the Harvard faculty almost two decades ago as a biostatistician. I have never before seen such a large discrepancy between studies that are supposed to answer the same question. In this article, I carefully dissect both studies, describe how the analyses differ, and explain why the Israeli study is more reliable.....

There’s “science” and then there’s “politicized science”(which is not science at all).
That’s what we’ve got over here. (Case in point: the global warming hysteria.)
Martin Kuldorff is one of the top guys in the world on the subject. Fauci couldn’t hold his jockstrap. When Martin speaks, the world listens.

Based on the solid evidence from the Israeli study, the Covid recovered have stronger and longer-lasting immunity against Covid disease than the vaccinated. Hence, there is no reason to prevent them from activities that are permitted to the vaccinated. In fact, it is discriminatory.
That's what my doctor told me yesterday.
The question is why is Israel (and the UK) able to perform meaningful studies, but the CDC is not?
