Fauci: No ‘Firm Answer’ on Why Americans Who Have Recovered From COVID-19 Should Still Get Vaccinated
Epoch Times ^ | 09/11/2021 | Zachary Steiber

Dr. Anthony Fauci, a top U.S. public health official, said that a new study regarding so-called natural immunity following COVID-19 infection is provoking discussion among government experts.

The real-world study, conducted by Israeli researchers, found that previous COVID-19 infection confers better protection against infection and hospitalization than COVID-19 vaccines.

Fauci, the longtime director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, was asked Friday about the research in the context of convincing people who have natural immunity, or who have recovered from COVID-19, to get vaccinated.

“I get calls all the time people say, ‘I’ve already had COVID, I’m protected.’ And now the study says maybe even more protected than the vaccine alone. Should they also get the vaccine? How do you make the case to them?” Dr. Sanjay Gupta asked Fauci during an appearance on CNN.

“I don’t have a really firm answer for you on that,” Fauci responded.

“That’s something that we’re going to have to discuss regarding the durability of the response. The one thing that paper from Israel didn’t tell you is whether or not—as high as the protection is with natural infection—what’s the durability compared to the durability of a vaccine? So it is conceivable that you got infected, you’re protected, but you may not be protected for an indefinite period of time,” he continued.

“So I think that is something that we need to sit down and discuss seriously because you very appropriately pointed out, it is an issue, and there could be an argument for saying what you said.”

Some experts who have studied the matter have expressed confusion as to why vaccination efforts are not focused on those who have not gotten a shot and have not recovered from COVID-19.

I fall in this category, and I don’t see a reason to get vaccinated either.

No firm answer? Is Fauci and the scientific community even looking for an answer?

I’ll give you a firm answer, you pint sized dictator. You are recommending booster shots for those vaccinated. I still have antibodies 8 months later. People with SARS 1 (2003) are STILL PROTECTED against that.

He knows that most of the CoVid tests were a scam to force huge case numbers to push mail in voting.

No, his “gain of function freaking ChiCom Virus” is designed to kill, and it has done a great job of circumventing our immune systems. This is evil incarnate, and Dr. Fauci should be held up, tried, and executed.

Here's a straightforward answer -- THOSE WHO HAVE RECOVERED FROM COVID HAVE NATURAL IMMUNITY WHICH IS MUCH BETTER THAN ANY OF THE CURRENT VACCINES AND THEREFORE -- DO NOT NEED TO BE VACCINATED

“I don’t have a really firm answer for you on that”

IOW, The Establishment can't think of any valid argument against Natural Immunity ... so they'll just sit there in silence and hope no one notices ... and most people don't

So the "vaccines-are-the-only-solution" Narrative continues to dominate Big Media

Fauxcy wouldn’t have a firm answer on anything, even if he took a handful of Viagra pills.

Other research labs have posted that those who have had the covid virus are better protected than those have been vaccinated. One lab posted a report that being vaccinated after having had the virus could lead to complications.

Fauci needs to advise against vaccinating those who have had covid.
