Coronavirus infection leads to immunity that’s comparable to COVID-19 vaccine, researchers find
LA Times ^ | 02/24/2021

Posted on 02/24/2021 6:37:21 PM PST by BenLurkin

Among a group of hundreds of thousands of Americans who tested positive for a SARS-CoV-2 infection, the risk of developing a subsequent infection more than three months later was about 90% lower than for people who had not been previously infected and therefore had no immunity to the virus, according to researchers from the National Cancer Institute.

For the sake of comparison, when the vaccines made by Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna were tested in Phase 3 clinical trials, they reduced the risk of developing COVID-19 by at least 94%.

...

“I think we knew this, that immunity [after natural infection] lasts a long time,” said Dr. Monica Gandhi, an infectious-disease specialist at UC San Francisco who was not involved in the new research.

No duh.

All understandings of immunological science were ignored for Covid.

And now, they let people who had it get vaccinated before people who never had it. It’s treated as if the viral infection doesn’t confer immunity.

Absolutely insane! The B$ on Corona 19 from all sides has been insane re this is so different than any other virus.

A guy I work with got a very mild case in April. His wife had a more severe case at the same time. He gave blood two weeks ago- when tested was found he still has the antigens.

There could be an explanation for that that we're just not being told about.

Maybe it is different than other viruses because it was engineered in a lab in China using gain-of-function methodology developed in the U.S. by Dr. Fauci ... and they know it!

How million Americans are like this guy?

They had mild to severe Covid 19 and didn’t go to a hospital.

If they saw a doctor, it was as an outpatient or office visit with zero diagnostics re Covid testing.

Your theory at this point in time is as valid as any other theory re this disease:

‘There could be an explanation for that that we’re just not being told about.’

“Maybe it is different than other viruses because it was engineered in a lab in China using gain-of-function methodology developed in the U.S. by Dr. Fauci ... and they know it!”

Unfortunately that is true. Which was the point of my post. We have been given so much inconsistent, incoherent flip-flopping BS for a full year now that it is impossible for anyone to believe anything we hear. It is really infuriating.

Occam's Razor (the simplest explanation is most likely the true explanation) is that they're just feeding us bull in order to exert their authority over us and get us used to being obedient.

But at this point we have been so thoroughly abused by the authorities there is no good reason not to look beyond the simplest explanation. The openly stolen election and the gaslighting about it that has followed just doubles the reasons to be suspicious.

The only problem with your #2, is how do we and the patient know that they had Covid 19.

As usual a good post in areas that have been ignored:

Asymptomatic people or people who thought it was a typical cold or flu wouldn’t know unless they got an antibody test.

Thanks for summarizing this CDC bs into 2 excellent DUH's!

Now, they let people, who had it get vaccinated before people who never had it. It’s treated as if the viral infection doesn’t confer immunity.

“Maybe it is different than other viruses because it was engineered in a lab in China using gain-of-function methodology developed in the U.S. by Dr. Fauci ... and they know it!”

However, the blood samples from blood donors show that this virus does/did respond like other viruses. Like the Stanford studies of early West coast infections not reported showed up in the blood donor samples. Also, this infection was up and down our West Coast in late November and December 2019, before it became official in March 2020.

There was so much BS on both sides with this virus.

Having said that, “I believe that the ChiComs developed and lost control of this virus. Both the ChiComs, our Dems and our CDC people didn’t want that reality out!”

It was a virus then, and it continues behave like one.

“Asymptomatic people or people who thought it was a typical cold or flu wouldn’t know unless they got an antibody test.”

So don’t test them!

Then we have no idea when this virus hit us and at what levels. Many if not most healthy people as you noted were:

“Asymptomatic people or people who thought it was a typical cold or flu wouldn’t know unless they got an antibody test.”

All I can say to that is that I think it was engineered to be a different kind of virus not something different than a virus.
