Individuals who were previously infected with COVID-19 are at least as well-protected against severe disease in the long run and may even have better protection, according to a recent study published in The Lancet.
The study reviewed 65 different findings on natural immunity, with the results suggesting that natural immunity is at least 88% effective against hospitalization and death from all COVID-19 variants, for around 10 months after infection.
However, the study did not account for the XBB.1.5 subvariant, also known as Omicron. Natural immunity provided less protection against the BA.1 subvariant of Omicron, which recorded a 36% efficacy against symptomatic infection after 10 months.
Despite the significant findings, the research team continued to encourage the use of COVID vaccinations as a method of acquiring immunity against COVID-19, despite widespread concern about potential side effects.
“Vaccination is the safest way to acquire immunity, whereas acquiring natural immunity must be weighed against the risks of severe illness and death associated with the initial infection," said lead author Stephen Lim, from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington’s School of Medicine.

To get Natural Immunity, you first have to survive Covid with no protection.
Easy peasy.
Have you gotten your latest boo$ter, though, just in case???
Are you STILL afraid of COV🇨🇳D?
Why are you posting with ChatBot? Are you a bot?
Okay Danny.
I got it and it kept me up for 3 solid nites with a deep , Bone shattering cough
Like I’d never had before . Several weeks before I got up to speed again.
This was November 2019 and I’ve not been Sick since.
.
Arguments against the Vax are LIKE;
.
It’s like Playing Chess with a Pigeon,
They knock over All pieces,
Crap on the Board and then
They Strut around Like they WON.
.
CHAT IA...or what ever ain’t to sharp.
Actually far better for the young.
I had Covid back in October at age 72 and for me, it was like a mild flu and I'm fine now.
Completely ridiculous.
It’s not valid to compare the risk of Natural Immunity to Vaccines, unless you include the risk of having Covid 19 to gain the Natural Immunity. The comparison should be: Covid 19 + resulting Natural Immunity vs Vaccines
That would be interesting, but if you do that you're also would need to expand the analysis into other options, such as, the risk of simply catching covid and having no specific immunity vs the risk of taking any shots. And/or the possibility of people like me who have never gotten covid, or only a version of it so mild it had no symptoms, verses the risk of taking any shots.
And even then, how can they even determine if the shots reduce your symptoms or not? That's very hard to demonstrate beyond a doubt, as well.
People might even be willing to put up with some pretty significant side effects from the shots if there was any real evidence that people who got the shot fared any better than those who didn't. Like noticeable differences, between the jabbed and unjabbed.
There's none. Therefore, you're stuck with just getting the risks of the shot, without knowing if it's even going to help much or not, and knowing that it will only be bad for you, if you never catch covid anyway.
We had this argument here, on Freep, 3 years ago where I was told there was nu guarantee that natural immunity worked because, y’know “science”.
For the vast majority of people, it is no more lethal than the common cold.
Good to hear. If I’m not mistaken, your age group was about 98% full recovery
Good job Brother
.
November 2019 I got it.
67 yrs old
Two previous Heart attacks -—5 stints
and I Still smoke
.
I told them Then ‘Put the Vax in my Cold Dead Arm!’
.
ChatBot—?
That THING is useless.
It is absolute trash...
🤮
For healthy children 17 and younger survival is 100%.
Not a single healthy child in that age group has died of Covid-19.
A very small number of children with comorbidities has died.
So small that the survival rate for children with comorbidities would still be 100% statistically.
I can’t believe any (real) poster, here, would even a) consider using that to post on FR and b) even admitting it.
Just unreal.
A chat bot “came up” with that pure nonsense.
Unreal it is...
[head-shaking]
Been there, had that. It was like having a very mild cold. My vaxxed and boosted wife has been much sicker since she got the shots, including getting covid. Same with my neighbor. Me, I'm doing just fine without any protection or added precautions.
A once very healthy (swam daily, for decades) 50 something friend of our family, took the jabs and the boo$ter.
She has been sick, ever since the first shots (circulation problems), and...since her booster....has had china virus TWICE.
This last bout about got her....lasted over a week, and, was pretty severe.
All this....after she had had china virus, early on, and, had natural immunity.
Now, her immune system is wiped out.
She hasn’t been able to swim, since her booster....months ago.
Completely ridiculous.
That's worse than ridiculous that's utterly insane. lol
Survival rate of covid w/ no vax = 99.7%
Survival rate of jumping out of a plane w/ no parachute = 0%
A Lancet article in Human events...
.
Sounds legit but Still pushing
The Vax.
.
Is ChatBot worth Quoting?
.
These 3 years have been more frightening
than THE SHINING which I’m watching
right now.
It’s The Hotel 🏨
Thats the problem.
