Popular Post Gromdor Posted January 23, 2022 Popular Post #3 Share Posted January 23, 2022 (edited) Well yeah, the problem is that no one starts with natural immunity. That's why we make vaccines- to introduce immunity into people without having to suffer the horrible (and often permanent) effects of the disease rather than rolling the dice to see who lives or dies.

Katniss Posted January 23, 2022 #4 Share Posted January 23, 2022 It's best to quote and link the actual report. Quote Summary What is already known about this topic? Data are limited regarding the risks for SARS-CoV-2 infection and hospitalization after COVID-19 vaccination and previous infection. What is added by this report? During May–November 2021, case and hospitalization rates were highest among persons who were unvaccinated without a previous diagnosis. Before Delta became the predominant variant in June, case rates were higher among persons who survived a previous infection than persons who were vaccinated alone. By early October, persons who survived a previous infection had lower case rates than persons who were vaccinated alone. What are the implications for public health practice? Although the epidemiology of COVID-19 might change as new variants emerge, vaccination remains the safest strategy for averting future SARS-CoV-2 infections, hospitalizations, long-term sequelae, and death. Primary vaccination, additional doses, and booster doses are recommended for all eligible persons. Additional future recommendations for vaccine doses might be warranted as the virus and immunity levels change. COVID-19 Cases and Hospitalizations by COVID-19 Vaccination Status and Previous COVID-19 Diagnosis — California and New York, May–November 2021 So the study is about the Delta variant and doesn't include data for the omicron variant, which was done before booster shots were available. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stereologist Posted January 23, 2022 #5 Share Posted January 23, 2022 (edited) When it comes to omicron natural immunity is apparently 0% helpful while vaccines are helpful. This seems to have been left out Quote But authors of paper warn against depending on infection, given the higher risks of hospitalization, long-term impacts and death The vaccines do not target the entire virus, but small bits and pieces. It should be no surprise that the immunity from the survivors of a particular strain are better protected for that strain. The problem with immunity from an infection or immunity due to a vaccine is that the body's response diminishes over time. Then come boosters which make the vaccinated ready for the next round of variant. Those with immunity acquired from infection just get sick again. Getting sick is such a low-brow strategy.

I was referring to initial data of omicron infections in which natural immunity did not appear to offer any protection. Saying 0% is clearly a mistake on my part. I would recommend you get vaccinated and should you become ill with COVID you get the best of both worlds. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you get through that gauntlet you are better off than someone that avoided that? Seriously? The anti-vaxxers are so weird. Besides, the natural immunity gained from delta seems to be rather poor when it comes to omicron. There is no global experimental vaccine roll out. That's the trash talk from those mainly dying - the fools that won't get vaccinated. They are the ones that are dying. 7 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many people got infected with COVID before the vaccines were available. In poorer nations, there is a serious problem of scarcity with vaccines. Anyway, with a 75% breakthrough Omicron infection rate, that should make people pause think before rushing to get their booster shot right after natural infection. Why would anyone pause? That's just ridiculous. Boosters are critical to keeping immunity levels as high as possible. The article you linked to misses a great issue: time. How long has it been since vaccination or infection? Many rely on the effective of T-cells. That is a part of the story.

Good thing that "apparently" doesn't translate as "fact" lol Apparently most who catch the big O will have 0% symptoms and be 0% wiser for it. Actually that is fact so deal with it. The fact that there are asymptomatic cases means what to you? The anti-vaxxer appeal is based on being ignorant. It reminds of the teenager that thinks they won't be pregnant if they pretend they are not pregnant. Life doesn't work that way. If you die of COVID you are dead. If COVID leaves you unable to read, barely able to breath, or headed to a dialysis unit that is what happens. Vaccines are potent. They save lives and have for centuries. People forget about the medical staff that have to deal with the stupids of the world that refuse vaccination and end up dying in front of medical staff. Those courageous and overlooked by the asinine anti-vaxxers see deaths as if a major war is raging. Medical students not expecting to see death are holding the hands of those that do not want to die alone again and again and again. Why? Because of the scum who are anti-vax. 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"During America’s last surge of the coronavirus driven by the Delta variant, people who were unvaccinated but had previously recovered from COVID-19 were better protected than those who were vaccinated and not previously infected, a new study said Wednesday.' https://www.timesofisrael.com/natural-immunity-was-more-potent-than-vaccines-during-us-delta-wave-study/ First of all this is no bombshell study, anyone who has been closely following the evolution of SARS-Cov-2 was already aware that Natural Immunity ( immunity from infection ) was effective at protecting people who had a previous infection and survived the infection. However enhanced immunity ( Vaccine ) was also just as effective at protecting people as the Natural Immunity has been. Let me be clear on one thing, gaining Natural Immunity is certainly a very foolish thing to do, when vaccines are available for the following reasons. 1. For a unvaccinated person to attain Natural Immunity they must become infected which is dangerous. When the Unvaccinated become infected they have 0% immune response to the infection so the Virus produces a very large Viral load until the bodies immune system starts to produce antibodies to fight the infection. According to medical journals discussing the subject, it takes approximately 2 weeks for the human body of an unvaccinated person to begin producing antibodies, which in many cases is to late. 2. Because of the fact that the Human body of an unvaccinated individual takes 2 weeks to recognize, and to start producing antibodies to fight the infection is why according to current medical data 80% plus of all deaths from Covid-19 are unvaccinated members of society! However, what are we talking about when we say protecting people? Well first off protecting people doesn’t mean PREVENTING infection by SARS-Cov-2 because neither form of immunity is able to totally prevent infection. However, what it does mean is that either form of immunity can prevent serious out comes from infection along with the related Hospitalization that unvaccinated members of our society deal with in almost all cases, and it can prevent the deaths that the unvaccinated are experiencing at a high rate. Here is a updated report directly from the CDC Website that was released in January 2022: Vaccination protected against COVID-19 and related hospitalization, and surviving a previous infection protected against a reinfection and related hospitalization during periods of predominantly Alpha and Delta variant transmission, before the emergence of Omicron; evidence suggests decreased protection from both vaccine- and infection-induced immunity against Omicron infections, although additional protection with widespread receipt of booster COVID-19 vaccine doses is expected. Initial infection among unvaccinated persons increases risk for serious illness, hospitalization, long-term sequelae, and death; by November 30, 2021, approximately 130,781 residents of California and New York had died from COVID-19. Thus, vaccination remains the safest and primary strategy to prevent SARS-CoV-2 infections, associated complications, and onward transmission. Primary COVID-19 vaccination, additional doses, and booster doses are recommended by CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices to ensure that all eligible persons are up to date with COVID-19 vaccination, which provides the most robust protection against initial infection, severe illness, hospitalization, long-term sequelae, and death.***** Additional recommendations for vaccine doses might be warranted in the future as the virus and immunity levels change. https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/71/wr/mm7104e1.htm Edited January 23, 2022 by Manwon Lender 4 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stereologist Posted January 23, 2022 #19 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Let's see what the recent CDC says Quote During October–November, unvaccinated persons had 13.9 and 53.2 times the risks for infection and COVID-19–associated death, respectively, compared with fully vaccinated persons who received booster doses So if you were unvaccinated your chance of death was more than 50 times the vaccinated! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stereologist Posted January 23, 2022 #20 Share Posted January 23, 2022 OMG, it looks like the CDC i supporting vaccines Quote During April 4–December 25, 2021, a total of 6,812,040 COVID-19 cases among unvaccinated persons and 2,866,517 cases among fully vaccinated persons were reported among persons aged ≥18 years in 25 U.S. jurisdictions; 94,640 and 22,567 COVID-19–associated deaths among unvaccinated and fully vaccinated persons, respectively, were reported by December 4 (Table 1). Average weekly, age-standardized rates of cases and deaths (events per 100,000 population) were higher during periods of Delta predominance and Omicron emergence than during pre-Delta and Delta emergence periods and were consistently higher in all periods among unvaccinated persons (range = 64.0–725.6 [cases] and 1.5–11.4 [deaths]) than among fully vaccinated persons (range = 7.4–230.9 and 0.1–0.7). If you don't get vaccinated your chances of bad are much higher. Not surprising. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stereologist Posted January 23, 2022 #22 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Fabulous. I got a sad face from someone that doesn't want to hear the truth. That's ok. Quote Rates of COVID-19 cases were lowest among fully vaccinated persons with a booster dose, compared with fully vaccinated persons without a booster dose, and much lower than rates among unvaccinated persons during October–November (25.0, 87.7, and 347.8 per 100,000 population, respectively) and December 2021 (148.6, 254.8, and 725.6 per 100,000 population, respectively) OMG, more clear evidence that the anti-vaxxers are wrong. Vaccines work and save people. They save people from death. They save people from long term illness. They save people from overwhelming medical expenses. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grim Reaper 6 Posted January 23, 2022 #23 Share Posted January 23, 2022 There is one addition point I would like to add concerning immunity. When it comes to immunity, the best form of immunity is to have been infected and to have gained natural immunity, and then after recovery receiving full vaccination there are 2 ways to achieve this as follows. 1. The first method is not recommended because it’s foolish and dangerous. This method requires someone to remain unvaccinated, then to become infected and recover. Next to finally realize how foolish their actions were, so they decide to receive the vaccination to protect themselves in case of future infection. However, sadly most unvaccinated individuals who survive an infection do not use their common sense and also get vaccinated so this scenario is not the normal out come after infection! 1a. The reason why they choose not to become vaccinated is because they get their information from alternative media sites, from shock jock podcasts, or because they follow and believe the disinformation,conspiracy theories, along with the political rhetoric their political party is tell them. 2. The second method one can receive the benefits or both Natural and vaccine induced immunity is by getting vaccinated and than having a breakthrough infection. This method is the best and safest way to receive the benefits from both forms of immunity because the chance of a serious out come or death is very very greatly minimized. Now please don’t take my comments out of context, I am not advocating getting vaccinated and then purposely trying to catch Covid-19, hopeful that will never occur. However if it does your in the best shape possible under the circumstances. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
