More Confirmation: Yale Study Concludes Natural Immunity Protects Against COVID Three Times Longer Than Vaccine

To their dismay, the Yale School of Public Health just concluded that immunity acquired by COVID-19 infection lasts three times longer and is stronger than that provided by vaccination. Naturally, the Yale Daily News downplayed the info under the headline, “COVID-19 reinfection is likely among unvaccinated individuals, Yale study finds.”

The Yale study concluded that the risk of COVID-19 reinfection stands at 5% at three months after recovery and decreases to 50% at 17 months. By contrast, COVID-19 vaccine protection against infection can wane to a mere 20% as early as five months after full vaccination. Now, I may not be a Fauci-approved Scientist, but I’m also not stupid.

The Yale study joins the ever-growing compendium of studies that attest to the superiority of natural immunity over-vaccination for protection from COVID infection. It’s worth clicking over to the linked article because you probably had no idea there was already so much Science! proving the point.

Here are a few highlights from the Blaze Media listicle by Daniel Horowitz:

New York University, May 3, 2021

The authors studied the contrast between vaccine immunity and immunity from prior infection as it relates to stimulating the innate T-cell immunity, which is more durable than adaptive immunity through antibodies alone. They concluded, “In COVID-19 patients, immune responses were characterized by a highly augmented interferon response which was largely absent in vaccine recipients.”

Cleveland Clinic, June 19, 2021

In a study of 1,359 previously infected health care workers in the Cleveland Clinic system, not a single one of them was reinfected 10 months into the pandemic, despite some of these individuals being around COVID-positive patients more than the regular population.

MORE STUDY WITH SIMILAR CONCLUSIONS:

Israeli researchers, August 22, 2021

Aside from more robust T cell and memory B cell immunity, which is more important than antibody levels, Israeli researchers found that antibodies wane slower among those with prior infection. “In vaccinated subjects, antibody titers decreased by up to 40% each subsequent month while in convalescents they decreased by less than 5% per month.”

Irish researchers, published in Wiley Review, May 18, 2021

Researchers conducted a review of 11 cohort studies with over 600,000 total recovered COVID patients who were followed up with over 10 months. The key finding? Unlike the vaccine, after about four to six months, they found “no study reporting an increase in the risk of reinfection over time.”

Would for life be 3 times longer? I know had the chicken pox as a kid, never again.

Harvard, Yale and the like including the youngest and therefore arguably the biggest political prostitute in the NE, MIT, are struggling here. They are torn between supporting the leftist causes they have come to espouse and protecting the value of their single biggest financial asset, their medical schools and associated medical research faculties. It’s hilarious to watch.

Your natural immunity is their Kryptonite.

If you have natural immunity the prog lose their superpower of hysteria.

My daughter was vaccinated and she recently tested positive.

Maybe they are dismayed over how lousy the vaccines are.

what it says is, natural immunity, like vaccinated immunity, wanes with this particular viral disease.

Studies have shown the level of immunity is relative to severity of infection - the most effective level of immunity is found in those who survived hospitalizaton. And hospitalization is something one wants to avoid at all costs. Hospitalization is the outward sign that overwhelming damage is being done, which is why, thankfully, we have vaccinations and monoclonals to keep folks from that damage.

A study I’d like to see is antibody levels 60 days post monoclonals, to see if administering monoclonals depresses the natural immune system since the job is being done for them, or if it enhances the natural immune system, buying time for the natural immune system to rally.

That’s an interesting question and one that should be possible to conduct as a survey of people who’ve had the monoclonal treatment by following them over time.

Now I'm not an MD, but I was under the impression that when the risk DECREASES it goes down, not up.

Any chance that you have a link to one of those studies?

Fwiw,
This study from YALE was not even based on covid 19.

"More Confirmation: Yale Study Concludes Natural Immunity Protects Against COVID Three Times Longer Than Vaccine"

Emphasizing that I am not medically trained, another thread seems to hint that experimental CV19 "vaccines" attack (my word) the immune system.

Are Covid ‘Vaccines’ Giving People AIDS? Immune System Functions Are Dropping Around 5% EACH WEEK in Those Who Were Vaccinated (10.17.21)

Correction welcome.

Also, artificial lighting urbanites might consider including vitamin D3 supplements in their healthy diets in my non-medical opinion.

(Note that the first two links below reference Dr. Ryan Cole.)

Again, corrections, insights welcome.

“The seroconversion in most COVID-19 patients for total antibody, IgM and IgG, occurred in the second week of disease onset...”
“As a conclusion, we may classify the recovered and immunized individuals into the following categories:
1)Infected cases with very mild symptoms or asymptomatic without any humoral immune response or elicited memory.
2)Infected cases with mild to moderate symptoms with low humoral immunity and low cellular immunity.
3)Infected cases with moderate or severe symptoms with highly activated humoral immunity and elicited memory.
4)Infected cases with moderate or severe symptoms with highly activated humoral immunity and low cellular immunity.

Among these categories, reinfection may happen in groups 1 and 2, which may also develop the severe disease in the future due to the absence or low levels of acquired immunity. Individuals in group 3 are more protective against further exposures and they may show long-term immunity since they develop increased elicited memory in defense of SARS-CoV-2. Meanwhile, this group also could be further evaluated to investigate the efficacy, half-life, and epitope specificity of antibodies...”

Real-world studies also indicate natural immunity’s short life. For example, 65% of people with a lower baseline antibody from infection to begin with completely lost their COVID-19 antibodies by 60 days.

https://www.nebraskamed.com/COVID/covid-19-studies-natural-immunity-versus-vaccination

They found that reinfection with SARS-CoV-2 in people who had not received a vaccine could occur as soon as 3 months after initial infection, with a median risk of reinfection within 16 months, under endemic conditions.

Given all the lying done by both the CDC and FDA over this SCAMDEMIC, I no longer trust a single thing they state.
