National Institutes of Health Director Francis Collins “intentionally misrepresented” the conclusions of an August study on people with natural immunity from COVID-19 in violation of his agency’s scientific integrity policy, a watchdog group alleged in a complaint Wednesday.
The watchdog group, Protect the Public’s Trust, alleged in its complaint that Collins violated his agency’s policies and procedures when he said on Fox News on Aug. 12 that the study, which reviewed infection rates among Kentucky residents during May and June, proved definitively that people who have natural immunity from COVID-19 are more than twice as likely to become reinfected than those who have received the COVID-19 vaccination.
Protect the Public’s Trust also alleged that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention violated its scientific integrity policy by promoting a similar conclusion from the study.

“The rate of getting a subsequent infection in those with natural immunity was 0.09 percent. Those who were vaccinated in that time period it was 0.03 percent. The conclusion is it’s extremely rare in both groups,” Makary said on Fox News. “Not that it’s higher among those with natural immunity by 2.3-fold.”
“Why did they pick Kentucky? They’ve got data on all 50 states,” Makary added. “They only reported Kentucky because they were using a statistical method called ‘fishing’ where you run the data on all 50 states and the one state that gives you the signal that’s consistent with what you want to say is the state you report out.”

Ping!
The only thing that surprised me is that there are FReepers who still think this is about covid.
Doesn’t fit thier evil plans
I’ve seen studies going in both directions on natural immunity. I generally ignore the question “is it better than vaccine” because that’s much less important than the question “how long does natural immunity post-recovery from an unnatural, artificial Chinese virus last?”
And as for there being no virus and it’s all a ploy to have pharm companies take total control of the US — the answer to that issue is found in the Russia death count, Ukraine’s death count, Vietnam’s, Brazil’s. None of those people care what happens with US ideology.
They are getting caught with their politically motivated lies. Not only that....observational studies are garbage and prove nothing....they can easily be manipulated depending how you pull the data. Comes down to no randomization or controls.
