The Power of Natural Immunity
The Wall Street Journal ^ | June 8, 2021 | Marty Makary

Posted on 08/03/2021 2:45:27 PM PDT by packagingguy

Only around 10% of Americans have had confirmed positive Covid tests, but four to six times as many have likely had the infection. A February study in Nature used antibody screenings in late summer 2020 to estimate there had been seven times as many actual cases as confirmed cases. A similar study, by the University of Albany and New York State Department of Health, revealed that by the end of March 2020—the first month of New York’s pandemic—23% of the city’s population had antibodies. That share necessarily increased as the pandemic spread.

According to this article, as of June about 10%-60% of the American population have been exposed to SARS-CoV-2 and have developed natural immunity. Natural immunity has time and time again proven effective but it is ignored.

None of the places that require vaccines will allow one to show proof of a positive coronavirus test plus proof one has recovered. Why?

This just does not make sense. Does anyone know why the push to vaccinate people who have already been infected?

“Does anyone know why the push to vaccinate people who have already been infected?“

Vaccines for those who have already had covid is ludicrous on its face. One of the biggest red flags we have in this whole nonsense imho.

Because it's easier for them to nod approval when presented with an easily downloaded from the interwebs a FAKE vaccination card.

Side benefit: there's no way to validate a card is authentic, or prove it's fake.

I have T-cell immunity from a gnarly case of some kind of Asian flu I got in the early to mid 60s. Thought I was going to be out for a long time. That’s what I am telling myself because I have been out, about, taking normal hygiene precautions, and I have been super healthy the last 21 months.

I can say, "I've been vaccinated."

Because-

"vaccinate" is defined thusly, "To inoculate with a vaccine in order to produce immunity to an infectious disease, such as diphtheria or typhus."

"inoculate" is defined (in part), "To implant (a disease agent or antigen) in a person, animal, or plant to produce a disease for study or to stimulate disease resistance."

So, I contend that the Covid-19 virus was naturally "implanted" into my body (through contact with a someone else who later tested positive), I was symptomatic (elevated body temperature, body aches, loss of taste) I subsequently had a positive test, the virus "stimulated" my "resistance", and now I am "immune" to the virus - plus, there's evidence that I am naturally more immune to its variants than those who only got one of the available, yet still, FDA UNapproved shot regimens.

I am not going to get the "jab" - at least until I know it is warranted and safe.

PERIOD

S...If you’ve had Covid, you can get by with one shot of vaccine...

For a minute I thought this was a straight article, unusual for the Woke Street Journal, but then I saw it was just propaganda for the jab.

I agree with you that you are “vaccinated”, and in a way superior to inducing the “spike” in random cells of your body.

It’s a pity we couldn’t get FDA approval of the virus that did this to you. Our government was apparently working with China’s to create it.

Current Covid antibody tests aren’t all that reliable, they can report false positives. A better test is needed to test for immunity. If you have had one of the vaxes your immune system is known to be trained so that’s why it’s preferred to the current antibody test.

Natural immunity isn’t being ignored, it’s great, but it requires you to catch the disease and that can be dangerous.

If the virus is able to mutate sufficiently it may get around both natural and vaccine immunity.

Too late for me, I caught it before the vaccines. Last March the FDA cleared a test called t-detect which measures your immune system’s memory of the virus.

Markary: “...natural immunity, if we look at the other Coronaviruses that cause severe illness, SARS and MERS, it’s been going strong at 17 years.”

Abuse is illogical. The greater the divergence from that which makes sense and us ligical, the more value a situation has in destroying a person’s dignity and forcing them to accept degradation and dehumanization. To fight back is to potentially bring things to a head, the risk being that the abuser will respond by doubling down, tripling down on the pattern of abuse, until the person seeking fair treatment relents.

One of the biggest red flags we have in this whole nonsense imho.
——————
The biggest red flag is censorship of Ivermectin, the Swiss Protocol( Vitamin D, Vitamin C, Quercetin, and Zinc), Nitrous Oxide and many other time tested cheap and available treatments. My best friend in Houston and his relatives caught the Covid, he immediately took Ivermectin, recovered at home in 5 days, the other two did nothing and landed in the hospital for 10 days ( they did finally recover)….yes Johnny, this Covid flu has a 99.8 percent survival rate….how you self treat yourself with known effective protocols determines if you end up going to the hospital or recover at home…..censorship of Ivermectin and the Swiss Protocol for the jab is criminal. Forced jabs are pure evil.

It is a good article from early June by an outstanding, brave expert. But things have changed. While natural immunity (from prior infection) remains effective and spreading, the vaccines appear to have lost effectiveness in limiting transmission. At this point, I think the more people, excepting the vulnerable such as elderly or obese, who get infected, the better (assuming the vaccines have not loosed some Frankenstein scenario on us).
