Director of the National Institutes of health grossly misstates the science on vaccination vs. natural immunity

“It has not been shown that natural immunity, the immunity you have after infection, is any inferior to the immunity you have after vaccination. And, in fact, there is growing evidence that natural immunity lasts a long time and is highly protective against infection and hospitalization…."

--Dr. Brett Giroir

The NIH is misrepresenting natural immunity versus vaccinations. The Director of the NIH cited a Kentucky study which showed vaccination was superior to natural immunity.

What was not said is that the study was performed on individuals who had been previously infected AND received the vaccine. It was not a study of uninfected with only a vaccine vs. natural immunity.

And the government wonders why we do not trust them.

The number of people who have natural immunity is really unknown, given that young people can develop immunity without becoming sick. Therefore nobody ever tests them.

My daughter's friend was tested because her mother became sick. The little girl had antibodies to the virus but did not show any symptoms. She is likely immune to further infection.

There was a Mainz, Germany medical university study done about six months ago. What they found (using just locals around that one region), for each hundred folks who had symptoms and tests done (to prove they did have Covid)....another forty individuals reported they never had any symptoms but were tested and showed antibodies...meaning they did have it in the past year.

Those who were exposed to SARS in 2003 have already been shown to have the antibodies against SARS COVID-19.

The "establishment" is destroying America by not being honest!

So many doctors and medical research experts were out there from the beginning talking about the PREVENTATIVES... Vit. D, Zinc, Vit. C, Magnesium....

AND CURES that have been available from day one. Ivermectin, Remdesivir, Hydroxychloroquine.....

And the MSM and social media networks covered up the truth about them!

I was one of the ones who got multiple 30 day Facebook jail terms for reporting on the good effects!

HOW MANY HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF LIVES LOST BECAUSE OF THEIR LIES??

The protection afforded by mandated vaccines is protection against the free born, the types who always question what’s going on, who don’t do tyranny.

No jab no job means that only the compliant can apply or continue to be employed. Otherwise who knows what dangerous ideas might be “spread around” the workplace.

Makes sense out the seemingly senseless disregard for natural immunity, or vaccine ineffectiveness or deaths.

I should have included inexpensive, effective treatment options in my post above.

When the "science" becomes politicized, it becomes as reliable as the politicians.

I now believe I have natural immunity. A close family member that lives in our house was apparently infected earlier this month. That family member felt a little ill - headache and sinus pressure. Then a half dozen or so coworkers of said family member tested positive. My family member tested positive. (actually got tested twice a week apart, both positive) I tested as soon as they turned up positive - mine was negative. I tested again yesterday - well past the incubation period - still negative. If I was going to get it, I would've gotten it by now - either from the family member under our roof, or from various people from around the country I come in contact with through work.

Therefore I believe I have developed immunity to it and do not require a vaccine. I am planning on getting an antibody test to confirm this.

I am no scientist but have been one known to reason well. I believe that this promotion of vaccines should stop. Offer them but don’t insist.

Reason. The mortality rate is so low that only those with other serious medical conditions are dying - obesity, bronchial, etc.

Therefore the more who get the virus the better. These high number of cases being reported is a good sign. Live life and don’t worry about mandates and the constant roar of covid maniacs. If you get the virus you will probably not know you have it. If you get the virus you are lucky. So sayeth elpadre!!!

"No jab/no job = only the compliant can be employed. Non-compliant might spread dangerous ideas around the workplace."

Had to trim and paraphrase to get it to fit a tagline...
