Natural immunity due to having COVID is not as good as the vaccine

A new study from the CDC finds that people with "natural" immunity through infection were more than five times more likely to become infected with COVID-19 compared to people who were fully vaccinated.

The study reviewed more than 7,000 people across nine states, measuring infections and hospitalization rates three to six months after either vaccination or initial infection. The study -- published in the CDC's weekly journal, the MMWR -- reaffirms prior research indicating that vaccines offer superior protection than natural immunity.

1. I like how those not vaccinated and get infected...

increase the odds of getting erectile dysfunction and are prone to impotence.

That works in our favor too.

2. Spoke last week to a person who claimed to have had Covid three times.

She told me that her doctor told her not to get the vaccine because her body is already so overloaded with Covid anti-bodies that any more would kill her.

I almost asked her how she keeps getting infected if she has so many anti-bodies, but I didn't because she is so intense on this shit she scares me.

So, CDC research on one side; lady who keeps getting sick because she has so many anti-bodies they may kill her on the other. I don't know what to think.

3. Lol, that last paragraph is something Chuck Todd would say

But in his case, he’d be asking in actual earnestness, and spend an hour on TV trying to figure it out.

4. She should fire her doctor.

Unless she's just plain lying.

5. I'd be surprised if she has seen a doctor, or if she has ever had a Covid test.

8. Yeah. That "My doctor told me" shit just don't pass the smell test...

6. CDC study: Vaccination offers better protection than previous COVID-19 infection

A new study from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) finds that vaccination provides better protection against hospitalization with COVID-19 than a previous infection with the virus.

The analysis found people hospitalized with coronavirus-like symptoms were more than five times more likely to test positive for COVID-19 if they had had recent prior infection than if they were recently vaccinated.

The study released Friday examined more than 7,000 people across nine states and 187 hospitals, comparing those who were unvaccinated and had previously had the coronavirus in the last three to six months and those who were vaccinated over the same time frame.

Some have argued that people who previously had COVID-19 have less need to get vaccinated.

The CDC urged even those who were previously infected to get their shots.
