One shot of vaccine may be enough for COVID-19 survivors

Getting that second dose is essential in order to get the fullest possible protection against the virus, experts say.

There are a few exceptions to the two-dose rule — such as having an immediate or severe allergic reaction to the first dose — but so far, being a COVID-19 survivor isn’t one of them.

“This has been rumored for a long time, that people with preexisting disease only need a single dose to get really long-lasting immunity,” said Dr. George Rutherford, an infectious disease epidemiologist at UC San Francisco.

The researchers found that in the COVID-19 survivors, a single dose of vaccine boosted antibody levels against several different coronavirus variants by up to a thousandfold — and that a second dose essentially offered no additional benefit. Meanwhile, the people with no history of infection had lower antibody levels after two doses of vaccine than the previously infected people had after just one. Those findings were reported last month in the journal Science.

France’s health authority has already issued a recommendation that those who had a confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection take just one dose of vaccine, even if their infection didn’t result in symptoms of COVID-19.

Is it just me, or does it seem that the forces behind the “vaccine” push are not really sure how or even if it works?

Did they test them for antibodies prior to the shot? Maybe their immunity was already extremely high but if they didn’t test them first but only afterward then they can scream eureka!

If you have survived the covid and you already have the immune response cuz your body did its job, then why would you need a shot to tell your body what to do with the covid?

I even saw a story being pushed where a person got sick weeks after getting the full complement of Covid shots and it was seen a proof the shot worked. Why, one might ask? Because imagine how much worse the person’s Covid disease would have been without the shots! Amazing pretzel logic.

Because COVID has evolved from a method of getting rid of a sitting President to an industry with a whole lot of rich people heavily invested in it and eager to keep it going.

Now, go back to your living in fear, like a good American.

1 Covid ‘shot’ is already 1 ‘shot’ too many.

The China virus was part 1 of their biowarfare.
The China vaccine is part 2 (yes, the vaccines were developed based on the genome China released to ‘help’ us).

Everyday, the CDC re-invents lies. They are just going to say anything to anyone to get them to take the ‘shot’.

Okay, so now we're dispensing medical advice based on rumor??

It is not just you! This gets more evident each day.

Typical Presstitutes spreading FEAR and LIES. Maybe they should have checked with Fauci’s Team over at NIH first:

Lasting immunity found after recovery from COVID-19

France already recommends one shot for Covid survivors.

France, UK, and Canada all have delays between the two shots anyway. You wait a lot longer than 3-4 weeks to get it.

Actually I mean there is incompetence at play.

But wouldn’t rule out perfidy.

The vaccine wasn’t created for COVID.
COVID was created for the vaccine.
And...they KNOW exactly how it works.
Just ask Bill Gates....he’ll tell ya.. /s

BIL had COVID at Christmas. Had the 2nd Pfizer a few weeks ago and felt really sick.

Plenty of incompetence at play here...but only among those who are not in on the perfidy.

It all feels so...orchestrated/manipulated.

Every day, just making it up as they go.

I’m not participating in this farce.

Nah, this is a report of studies that back that up.

But, as always in the media: “ (good news) needs more study” LOL!

Better media reporting than usual.
Though they imply that the two shots do different things- which is false.

In Israel, it’s illegal to get the shot if you’ve had the disease.

Considered medically unnecessary and potentially dangerous.
