The scientific data reveals Omicron infection a “natural vaccine” against COVID, giving millions immunity and serving as a primary force driving down new COVID cases world and nation-wide. On March 1, as President Biden arrives at the House lectern to give his State of the Union Address, there may well be fewer than 200,000 new United States COVID cases that day, down from a peak of 1.3 million in early January. New cases are dropping precipitously and consistently in every state.
The causative variable is not a huge increase in vaccinations but the extraordinary spread of the highly contagious Omicron variant. Biden will no doubt take credit for the decline in new cases, telling Americans that his insistence on universal vaccination and masking brought about the drop, but vaccination has not reached universality; it is 65%. His self-adulation will be a lie, because the real hero in this tragedy is not Biden’s vaccine and masking push but Omicron.
While Omicron is also a clear villain (it has infected most Americans and has killed tens of thousands), it has given the overwhelming majority of Americans a fulsome natural immunity, protecting even against the far more virulent variant, Delta.
As Dr. Marty Makary recently told the Wall Street Journal’s Paul Gigot, Omicron “gives four times the immunity against Delta. So, it does answer the question—will Omicron displace Delta?—the answer appears to be yes. So for much of the world that will not have access to a vaccine, Omicron will be nature’s vaccine.”
And from every state’s data, following the exponential rise in Omicron cases in December and January wherein that variant represented over 95% of new cases and ripped through America at lightning speed, the COVID case numbers are plummeting. Omicron has indeed been nature’s vaccine, including in the United States.

I’m just getting over it.
thankfully millions got omicron and the strong natural immunity that goes with it, strong enough to shut this thing down.
More stupid than usual..... can the media report any story accurately?
I had no doses, contracted omicron and took therapeutics. I was okay pretty quick but it wasn’t fun. My husband who wasn’t vaccinated also breezed through it with therapeutics. We are both in our sixties. Not sure vaccines would have improved outcomes. I have no idea how anyone could measure that.
Natural immunity doesn’t line anybody’s pockets,
Oh, I had a headache too - which is extremely rare for me.. so I guess I’m vaccinated now.
I wouldn’t be unvaccinated over age of 50. The definitive way to test outcomes is with a randomized placebo controlled trial. But one thing to know is that the proportion of deaths caused by COVID-19 after the introduction of the vaccines, decreased for people over 65 while it increased among people under 50. The proportion of COVID deaths greatly increased among people under 30. The vaccines were first given to the very highest risk populations.
