Is catching Covid now better than more vaccine?
BBC ^ | 8-20-21

Posted on 08/20/2021 5:09:13 PM PDT by Tipllub

There are marked differences in your immune system after a natural infection with coronavirus and after vaccination.

Which is better?

Even asking the question bordered on heresy a year ago, when catching Covid for the first time could be deadly, especially for the elderly or people already in poor health.

Now, we're no longer starting with zero immunity as the overwhelming majority of people have either been vaccinated or have already caught the virus.

It is now a serious question that has implications for whether children should ever be vaccinated. And whether we use the virus or booster shots to top up immunity in adults. Both have become contentious issues.

"We could be digging ourselves into a hole, for a very long time, where we think we can only keep Covid away by boosting every year," Prof Eleanor Riley, an immunologist from the University of Edinburgh, told me.

Prof Adam Finn, a government vaccine adviser, said over-vaccinating people, when other parts of the world had none, was "a bit insane, it's not just inequitable, it's stupid".

Shocking to see this in a MSM publication like the BBC.

Every year, then every six months, then quarterly, then monthly ...

With a 99%+ survival rate versus what’s going on with these so-called “vaccines”, I’d take my chances with COVID...but then again, I’ve already had it so...

Eventually the jabbed will carry around an IV full of spike proteins.

I’ve been vaccinated. I do NOT plan on getting a booster. Treatment protocols are better. I’m in good physical condition and spend a lot of time outdoors. I think I’m low risk to catch something and highly likely to survive if I do. But COVID will never go away. And it will always mutate. And I’m not going to spend the next 20 years taking shots 3 times a year....

No no. There is never too much vaccine. Boosters now at 6 months. Then when that fails, boosters monthly. Then weekly. Perhaps on the hour. Never can have too many boosters.

I’m sure the next booster, like the next Windows update, will fix everything.

Nah, it’ll be more like one of those insulin pumps diabetics use.

It may even bring the return of the “Blue Screen of Death”.
But even Microsoft cannot out eff up things more than our CDC.

Don't we do that with the flu vaccine now? What's the difference? It's not a sterilizing vaccine either.

Exactly. How many vaccines, how many booster shots and how often will we need them?

And in the meantime these millions of spike proteins will actually work against any and all other immunities leaving us more susceptible to any and all diseases and viruses.

Speaking of IVs, how do these jabs affect transfusion blood?

An orange

Bacon and eggs

Coffee

Minerals and supplements

CCP-Coronavirus vaccine booster

I recently had a bunch of blood tests completed- i mean like ten days ago. I asked covid antibodies be part of the test. When they came back the doctor called me and said, “you’re vaccinated, correct?” I said- “I told you i was not.” He said- “well you have the antibodies, in fact a lot of antibodies.”

I got the results back- my antibodies read 2.6(H), the H meaning “high” or high amount. Evidently that almost double the amount needed to register positive for antibodies, which was 1.4.

I thought i had the CCP virus in March of 2020 but the test was negative. Since then I’ve not had a symptom of the CCP virus. I had no plans on getting the vaccine anytime soon and this test further affirmed that.

I would be interested to hear any educated opinions.
