This is important because the CDC finally concedes the reality of natural immunity. This should help people exempt themselves from vaccine mandates based upon natural immunity.
I donate platelets every other week. I’m HLA-typed, so mine often go to cancer patients who are a match. I’ve been told by several of the phlebotomists that while COVID infection is not a disqualifier, it can bump my donation into a more general pool to prevent antibody dependent enhancements in immunocompromised cancer patients. This is a big reason for my abstinence from the vaccine.
I don’t believe that we will ever really know the true scope of the China bioweapon flu..
The governments of the world never kept track of ALL the data that was needed to provide accurate data.
IMHO, done on purpose.
It’s over my head.
I look forward to someone’s simpler explanation.
Thanks for posting.
Interesting if I read this correctly, they project only about 66 Million Americans had been infected (20% of population) as of May 2021. That’s only a little more than 2X the official “case” number at the time. Even the CDC had been projecting something more like 3-5X or well over 100 million naturally infected.
The larger point is that 83% of US population has antibodies from either natural infection or vaccine - but that means a very high proportion of this is vaccine induced immunity which we know now wanes over time and does not prevent infection very well from the now dominant Delta variant. No wonder we are seeing so many rising cases this summer in the US.
The importance and objective of this study are well served by this report
It's a well done study, based on a logical and good rationale.
The detailed outline of settings, methods, tools used, specifics of tests utilized, etc. is well done, and justifies confidence in the validity if this study.
It covers very significant periods, and collected a very significant amount of data, well organized and presented for appropriate subdivisions of individuals surveyed.
Its summary of results is well organized and quite detailed, and fairly easy to understand.
In the discussion I found this statement, which I like: These data demonstrate the increases in SARS-CoV-2 seroprevalence that occurred due to vaccination and illustrate differences in infection- and vaccine-induced antibody prevalence. The study will continue until at least December 2021, and results will be made available on the CDC’s website.1
Overall, I believe this is a step above the mostly complex and/or misleading guidelines I have become accustomed to from this CDC. I am happy to accept it at face value, and recommend it is well worth your study and critical review.
Thanks Grandpa Drudge
