In the early days of smallpox which was extremely fatal at the time, dairy workers who were called milk maids were largely immune. This was because they had been exposed and probably infected by a strain ot cow pox. Cow pax was somewhat related to smallpox, you might say it was a variant that was more contagious but not as deadly. This led to the discovery of inoculation where a person would be deliberately infected with an antigen in order to gain immunity.

So is the sample size large enough for those numbers to be meaningful?

It's at least 2.4%, ok? Not at least 2.5, not at least 2.3. At least exactly 2.4±0.0%, understand?

Show me the data.

You are a fool for buying a pig in a poke. Dig in. You were stupid for taking the vax. You are stupid for buying this disinformation. Gauteng. 79 admissions. 80 something yesterday. Pop in greater Gauteng is about 15 million. Gauteng is the epicenter.

“We do not have information about the vaccination status of individuals in our data set and therefore cannot make any assessment of whether Omicron also evades vaccine-derived immunity,” Pulliam said in a statement.

So the "re-infected" may be, as has been indicated but other data, to be effecting the vaccinated. And the much touted "South African study" another example of Lying Media fear porn.
