Fauci: Natural Immunity vs. Vaccine For COVID-19 Needs To Be Discussed Seriously
Real Clear Politics ^ | 9/10/21 | Tim Hains

Posted on 09/10/2021 6:52:33 PM PDT by Libloather

Dr. Anthony Fauci said he does not have a "firm answer" about a study implying that naturally acquired immunity is more effective than vaccines at preventing you from reacquiring COVID-19.

CNN's Sanjay Gupta asked if people who have already recovered from COVID-19 should still be required to get the vaccine.

"I don't have a really firm answer for you on that," he said Thursday on CNN. "I think that is something that we need to sit down and discuss seriously."

GUPTA: And just real quickly, there was a study that came out of Israel about natural immunity, and basically, the headline was that natural immunity provides a lot of protection, even better than the vaccines alone.

What do people make of that? So as we talk about vaccine mandates, I get calls all the time, people say, I've already had COVID, I'm protected. And now the study says maybe even more protected than the vaccine alone. Should they also get the vaccine? How do you make the case to them?

FAUCI: You know, that's a really good point, Sanjay. I don't have a really firm answer for you on that. That's something that we're going to have to discuss regarding the durability of the response.

The one thing that paper from Israel didn't tell you is whether or not as high as the protection is with natural infection, what's the durability compared to the durability of a vaccine? So it is conceivable that you got infected, you're protected, but you may not be protected for an indefinite period of time.

This goofball Fauxci has had 18 months to come up with some 'science'. Nope. Just put another hole in ya.

Fauci suffers from Narcissistic Munchausen By Proxy Syndrome. He lives to make us sick and show off to his peers.

Fauxi paid for the research that developed the Fauci/China virus.

He belongs in prison.

It's so weird that almost overnight they memory holed everything that used to be common knowledge and take for granted about vaccines and acquired immunity.

Thing is, “got over it” inoculation isn’t governable. It cannot be an objective bureaucratic checkbox. Demonstrating you “had it” is hard to legislators/executives. A “jab”, however, is easy: certified doc/nurse/pharmacist certifies a certified object was injected in a certified way, so a certified bureaucrat can print a certified form stating you’ve been certified Covid-proof (well, never mind that pesky minority who get it anyway...).
The likes of Biden can’t handle liberated citizens.

I’ll tell what Needs To Be Discussed Seriously, “Dr.” Fauci: Gain-Of-Function research, and why you gave money to the Chinese to do it.

with caveats, of course, but nonetheless more answers should be available by now - see article date below:

16 July 2020 updated 17 July 2020: Daily Mail UK: Could Covid-19 immunity last for 17 YEARS? Researchers find
SARS patients still have crucial T cells from when they were infected in 2003
The SARS epidemic started in 2003. No cases have been identified since 2004
Some infected people during the outbreak still have crucial white T cells
It suggests they would be protected from SARS re-infection
It offers hope the same could be true for this virus, called SARS-2
By VANESSA CHALMERS
The research, by scientists in Singapore, offers hope the same may be true for SARS-CoV-2 — the name of the coronavirus behind the pandemic...

Scientists at the La Jolla Institute for Immunology in California have also previously said it is ‘tempting to speculate’ that having had a cold could offer some form of immunity.
They found blood samples from people donated in 2015-2018 contained T cells that recognised SARS-Cov-2 and responded to it, publishing their findings in the journal Cell...

“So it is conceivable that you got infected, you’re protected, but you may not be protected for an indefinite period of time.”

And so what is the period of time you are protected with the vaccine versus protected with natural immunity, Fauci?

Mengele killed his tens of thousands.

Fauci has killed his tens of millions.

Fauci makes Mengele look like a grade school drop out.

Just when Gupta’s and Cooper’s stunned blinks show they know he’s trapped, he moves the goal posts- “how long does the immunity last?” Peter McCullough better focus on this interview tomorrow rather than bring in some irrelevant guest from outer Mongolia.

Wish someone would ask him about all the research about Ivermectin and other treatments that actually work. They won’t be able to ignore the natural immunity issue for much longer. People are pissed.

Shocking that Gupta even was allowed to ask him that.

Wouldn’t a T-Cell test show antibodies?
