STUDY: COVID-19 Survivors with Natural Immunity at Low Risk for Reinfection, Severe Symptoms
Human Events ^ | 11/29/2021 | Staff

Posted on 12/02/2021 5:19:06 AM PST by Dr. Scarpetta

According to a new study, those who survived COVID-19 have such a strong natural immunity that their chance of reinfection or severe side effects is minimal.

The study, conducted by researchers in Qatar and published in the New England Journal of Medicine reviewed global databases for 353,000 patients infected between February 28, 2020 and April 28, 2021, per Just the News.

The researchers excluded about 87,500 people who were vaccinated and found that of the remaining population, only 1,304 got reinfected.

“Reinfections had 90% lower odds of resulting in hospitalization or death than primary infections,” the researchers said. “…Reinfections were rare and were generally mild, perhaps because of the primed immune system after primary infection.”

“Accordingly, for a person who has already had a primary infection, the risk of having a severe reinfection is only approximately 1% of the risk of a previously uninfected person having a severe primary infection,” the study found.

This is why I don’t wear a mask where I work or worry about vaccination: I already caught the thing.

But it’s like the Hotel California.
You can check in a time you want. But you can never leave.

Exactly!

My 75 year old mother got it 2 months ago - powered through it and is now having the time of her life going out, socializing, and living life like Covid isn’t a thing.

I wonder if it is the same for those who test positive but had no symptoms. Were those false positives? Ohio Gov Dewine received a false positive.

What fills me with such distrust over all of this is the ignoring of natural immunity. Why? Is it the money? or is it even more sinister?

My own doctor, whom I trusted, wanted me to get the injection ignoring the fact that I recovered from the virus.
I refused.

I virologist I met told me last May that if I would catch it again it would probably be mild.

Why are we not hearing the truth?

And using the lockdowns, Deep State intentionally made it harder for people to acquire far superior natural immunity.

My God, these people are evil.

Why?

Because CoupFlu has NEVER been about public health.

I wonder if there is any correlation to the severity of the initial infection?

We heard back in 2020 in the midst of the initial panic that possibly as many as 80% of the people that have covid don't even know it. Their symptoms would be so mild or non-existent they wouldn't go to a doctor, wouldn't think to get tested.

I take that with a grain of salt. It is entirely believable that some portion of people get covid and don't know it. Just about every illness out there hits some people hard, others not so much. I don't know that I believe the 80% number. I think at the time the entities promoting that notion were trying to spread fear and panic - "Just because your friend or neighbor seems healthy doesn't mean he/she isn't sick - social distance, mask up, live in fear!"

The US to date has had 48 million cases. If even 50% of the people that get covid don't know or seek treatment then our actual number is closer to 96 million. Yes in that 48 million there are some doubles maybe even triples. Assumption #1, these numbers are small enough to ignore in our back-of-the-envelope calculation here. With a US population of 329 million that leaves 233 million never infected.

We've vaccinated approximately 57.8% of the population. If we figure we vaccinated both prior-infected and never infected at the same rate (assumption #2) that means we vaccinated 134 million people who haven't had it.

The sum of previously un-infected, but now vax protected {snort} and previously infected and thus with some level of natural immunity is 230 million people. That 230 is just about exactly 70% of the population.

Gee, that's right up there in the neighborhood of where we should be achieving the "herd immunity" we were promised. (along with 2 weeks to flatten the curve, 95% effective vaccines, etc.)

Of course the fascists will not let go of the covid gravy train so easily. They've accumulated a lot of power and won't give it up without a fight.

Note, if you believe the 80% number for rate of people who caught covid and never even knew it, then the numbers shake out even better - we're now at 88% of the population having been vaxxed or having natural immunity from a prior infection. This thing should be over.

….from Infections in previously unvaccinated people.

The jabs INTERFERE with immunity, hence the bogus term “breakthrough “ infection.

“The jabs INTERFERE with immunity, hence the bogus term “breakthrough “ infection.”

Exactly. The shot bullies your natural immunity to the side, forcing you to get on the never-ending booster train for the rest of your life. It not only interferes, it ruins your natural immunity forever.

Much better than the jabs and certainly a secret the COVID powers did not want out there. I almost want to get COVID, but have no idea of how strong it would be, which concerns me.

This is what your immune system is supposed to do ... but you need to be exposed to the germs so the immune system can develop countermeasures .... and it doesn't help when you subject yourself to experimental needles that fiddle around with the inner workings of this God-given miracle that is naturally designed to protect you.

Another report for Fauci to ignore. He refuses to “follow the science.” He is a “natural immunity denier.”

Natural immunity is superior.

No side effects.

No boosters required.

No abortion juice involved.

Maybe, just maybe, the 2019 flu jab started Covid. The first Covid jabs started the first variants.

The boosters started omnicron.

Maybe, just maybe, the vaccines are the infections.

Note: earliest reports of Covid in 2019 from Italy.

Coronavirus came to Italy almost 6 months before the first official case, new study shows

No kidding?

You mean this virus is just like almost every other virus known to man and that infection confers natural immunity?

Wow!

Who would have thought that?
