In a television news interview, Giroir was pressing for more people to get vaccinated against Covid-19 when host Dana Perino asked about the role of natural immunity.
"So natural immunity, it’s very important," acknowledged Giroir. "There are still no data to suggest vaccine immunity is better than natural immunity. I think both are highly protective."
There are still no data to suggest vaccine immunity is better than natural immunity. I think both are highly protective.
Dr. Admiral Brett Giroir, Former Asst. Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) Continuing on, Giroir said, "But I think you, if you have proof of Covid infection, right now that’s still equivalent to vaccine immunity. And even The CDC recognizes that. If you’re an American coming back into this country, if you’ve had proof of a previous Covid infection, you don’t even need to be tested. So I think when businesses reopen, they ought to consider natural immunity, vaccine immunity, all equivalent to get you back in the workplace."
Three months ago, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) estimated more than 120 million Americans had been infected with Covid-19, and so would enjoy the presumption of immunity. CDC has not updated that figure since the end of May. The true, current number is many millions of people higher than the May figure which, many scientists say, was a very conservative estimate.
That would mean, vaccines aside, half or more of the U.S. population is likely protected with natural immunity.

That’s like admitting that a Corvette is as fast as a skateboard.
Yep
Better.
As good?
It’s better.

That’s not what they were saying 2 weeks ago...
Sharyl Attkisson Ping!
Watch Sharyl host "Full Measure," a Sunday morning talk show on the Sinclair network. More info.
Her new book Slanted is available now along with her book Smear which has a Five Star rating.

As good as? COVID 19 can kill you. Finally, this must be an admission that the vaccine kills just as many people! There’s no other way the infection could be as “good” as the shot.
Actually better.
From what I’ve read/seen....natural immunity offers a lifetime of immunity AND a minimal chance of being reinfected, if at all. And, if by small chance, you are re-infected....it should be even less bothersome.
That’s how I understand it.
So, in reality....natural BEATS fake ‘vax’ immunity, hands down.
The vax should be a choice, not a gun to the head.
And keep your filthy jabs off the children, predators/vaxholes.
It’s better than a vaccine.
Yes.
The T-cell test cost about $250. It’s not free.
And I doubt they’d take it in lieu of vaccination, but they should.
(Really they shouldn’t be putting any of this totalitarian crap on us).
they have $10 or 20 off coupon codes if you look
I think they should take proof of a positive Covid test as evidence of immunity. After all, I’m obviously not dead.
Still not cheap ($150 ish) but there is the FDA approved T-cell test from T-Detect. https://www.t-detect.com/
“As good as? COVID 19 can kill you. Finally, this must be an admission that the vaccine kills just as many people! There’s no other way the infection could be as “good” as the shot.”
It means as good in conferring immunity.
Your point is the crux of the matter, though.
Is it safer for someone to get vaccinated to confer immunity vs have Covid-19 to confer immunity.
I figure that depends on the individual based on age, health etc...
Thanks.
Thanks for that info. Which leads me to wonder if natural immunity acts the same for all ‘rona viruses? The common cold is a ‘rona. ‘Nuff said.
