One dose of Pfizer vaccine may protect COVID-19 victims from reinfection: study

People who had COVID-19 may only need one dose of Pfizer’s vaccine to be “sufficiently protected” against getting the virus again, a new study says.

The research, published in JAMA Network Open on Friday, compared the antibody levels of people who’d previously been infected with those who hadn’t been, after one and two doses of the double-dose Pfizer.

“We observed higher SARS-CoV-2 antibody levels in previously infected individuals after one dose of BNT162b2 (Pfizer) compared with infection-naive individuals after two doses,” said researchers from Chicago’s Rush University, who conducted the study.

The scientists said they found that giving previously infected people a second Pfizer shot did not “significantly increase” their antibody levels.

What about the Greek alphabet soup of variants?

Betcha the vaccine won’t do squat against many of them...

They found a way to increase antibodies.

If you have optimal protection, increasing antibodies provides no benefit. Likely, it is possible to increase antibodies even further. It doesn’t mean it’s a good idea.

And when they run out of the first iteration of the Greek alphabet they’ll start in with Delta-2, then Delta-3, etc., so that eventually they’ll wind up with Zeta-10 to the 10000th.

As opposed to your bodies natural immune system preventing you from reinfection. Why am I suppose to forget everything I was ever taught about how the body works?

Having been infected with the CCP Flu, and making a full and complete recovery, my self created T-Cells have enough antibodies in reserve for any required counter attack on order.

The key operative word is, "may".

It seems like they are just throwing everything out there, IMO, to dupe people into submitting to getting injected.

Yup.

Government Health and the drug companies don't recognize natural immunity. Pretty inept...and bad for our health.

Yeah they are making stuff up now.
A study posted here yesterday out of Israel said that naturally recovered individuals are something like 10x less likely to get reinfection than vaccinated people. I guess from that you can extrapolate that a vaccine “may” offer even more protection but this sounds like trying to sell undercoat sealant on a car in San Diego. Hey you never know one day it may snow!

Correct.

There is zero reason to get any shot if you’ve recovered from Covid.

“I suspected this, that the 2nd dose actually did more harm than good!”

A fifty year old son and a few 70+ers like me in our family and friends got hammered with our first Covid dose. We basically had no problems with our second shot (Pfizer).

Also, post Covid #1 injection, 3 of us over 70+ appeared to be having Shingles in spite of having the 2nd Shingles shot. (all 3 of us got hammered by the 2nd shingles shot.) Then, on the 3rd to 5th day post Covid 1st injection, our shingles basically disappeared.

I’ve seen those same prelim numbers but no study yet.

Was it posted here? I’m hunting for it.
