with Covid 19 at twice the rate among population of those who have previously had COVID-19 and not been subsequently vaccinated.
For anyone with friends or family who are insisting they won't get vaccinated because they've already had COVID-19 and think they are immune, show them this study.

Because they will move the goal posts of the edge of flat earth if they have to.

(499 posts)3. 95% effective vs 90% effective ?
at twice the rate
Would that be the same ratio, ie "twice" as a vaccine that was 95% effective vs a vaccine that was 90% effective?
I do not know what the risks are. Do these "Breakthrough" cases tend to be mild without hospitalizations?
Are vaccines for this group, "previously infected" similar to a Booster?

Whether or not we become symptomatic, a slightly novel immune response has to be mounted.
