CDC: Study Confirms Natural Immunity Stronger Than Vaccines

'Omicron is also distinguishing itself from previous waves in the number of breakthrough infections among those who’ve received two vaccine doses. Nearly 78 per cent of the new cases Tuesday arose in those who were administered two shots. In the past 28 days, 62 per cent of those hospitalized were doubly vaccinated.''

https://montrealgazette.com/news/local-news/omicron-presents-unique-challenges-for-quebecs-hospitals

That's all going in a population that is 85,3% fully vaccinated. There are many, many breakthrough cases. How many are also not reported?

*bold are mine

I'm still calling BS.

 

That's one day. Have a look at the rest of them. And as stereo pointed out, the recommendation to get vaccinated at your own link.

Sure looks like vaccinations are important in Canada.

There are definitely more unvaccinated people ending up hospitalized or worse. So vaccines are great tool.

However, let's not delude ourselves thinking breakthrough Omicron cases are not occuring on a large scale among the vaccinated.

Not a study and it misses the booster.

And what is never mentioned? Time

Not a study?

It was recently published in the MedRxiv journal by a team of Qatari scientists.

As for time:

''The median time between prior infection and PCR test among cases and controls
was 279 days (interquartile range (IQR), 194-313) for Alpha, 284 days (IQR, 210-313) for Beta,
253 days (IQR, 159-375) for Delta, and 314 days (IQR, 268-487) for Omicron.''

''for cases from December 14, 2020 up until January 01, 2021.''

Dude, we are in January 2022. Why do you keep posting pre-Omicron wave data?

Omicron has changed all that. The massive number of breakthrough cases occurred because of the Omicron variant. Not prior.

I'm pointing out that your cherry picking an anomalous figure.

Here is last month's record (which has actually been tabulated showing the data is more complete)

There have been 126 cases of COVID-19 with an episode date between December 2 and December 9. Of those:

 

61 (48.4 per cent) were fully vaccinated

6 (4.8 per cent) were partially vaccinated

59 (46.8 per cent) were unvaccinated

There have been 6,853 cases from March 15 to December 9. Of those:

 

776 (11.3 per cent) were fully vaccinated

420 (6.1 per cent) were partially vaccinated

5,657 (82.5 per cent) were unvaccinated

There were 341 people hospitalized. Of those:

 

23 (6.7 per cent) were fully vaccinated

33 (9.7 per cent) were partially vaccinated

285 (83.6 per cent) were unvaccinated

Forty-four people died. Of those:

 

11 (25.0 per cent) were fully vaccinated

3 (6.8 per cent) were partially vaccinated

30 (68.2 per cent) were unvaccinated

Irrelevant.

On december 13, 2021, there was only 80 cases of the Omicron variant in Canada.

You keep posting pre-Omicron wave data, and now from a rural province (Nova Scotia). You are misinformed.

That page is updated daily for a start 

Do you know the difference between a model and a report?

December 2021 is not pre omicron. 

Your link you just posted also refuted your claim. It says:

 

The modelling assumes that the Omicron variant is 3 times more transmissible than Delta, vaccine effectiveness decreases 50% with respect to Delta and booster doses increase effectiveness against infection to 70%.

The Omicron wave has started at the end of December in Canada and is peaking as we speak.

And yet 70% with the booster as it says above.

 

You still haven't said why you think natural immunity is a better path.

What's your point?

The Omicron variant didn't become dominant in Quebec until the end of December.

Those are real, up-to-date data coming from hospitals across Quebec.

On a population that has a 90% vaccination rate, one of he highest in the world.

You should just admit you were wrong, and move on.

Look, convince yourself that you know all about it , don't take the vaccine if you don't want.    Give up on convincing us it is a smart idea.  A shot is better than drinking your own urine.   But. its cool  you are free to choose.  Wouldn't kiss you though.

My point is it was there two months already. Delta still dominates ICU. 

Do you feel it lies dominant and then on some particular day its suddenly everywhere? How do you think you got to the peak? Your claim isn't reflected in the stats.

Those pushing for natural immunity are corrosive to society.

 

Keep on fooling yourself it makes no difference to me.

"The Pandemic of the Unvaccinated" is an imaginary Bogey-man.

Bogus-man

How do perfectly healthy people pose a risk to you or anyone else if vaccines are working?

As always you can only catch covid from someone who has covid to begin with so in reality the pandemic remains as always, a "pandemic of the infected" and nothing more, no conspiracy, no agenda, no need for fear, division or hate.

Remember this, nobody here or anywhere else is bullying you or anyone else to "accept natural immunity or suffer the penalties" 

"No natural Immunity, no Job" mandates do not exist anywhere either.

Hopefully you snap out of your illusion and stop acting the victim before it's too late.

You claim large scale but show nothing to support large scale.

We all know that vaccines are not 100%. We know that over time the immunity wanes. We know that makes boosters important.

Here is the report from NYC and it looks like there is no large scale breakthroughs

https://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/coronavirus/omicron-ny-covid-cases-breakthrough-infection-fully-vaccinated-symptoms/3504616/

Quote

New COVID infection data released by New York Thursday shows in the clearest terms yet the across-the-board retreat of the omicron wave, with both breakthrough and unvaccinated rates plunging by half since the last weekly report, which marked the first time either dipped since omicron emerged in the state.

The latest week of data, which covers the Jan. 10 week, shows 125.5 per 100,000 fully vaccinated New Yorkers were infected, nearly half the rate (243.5) from the prior week. For unvaccinated New Yorkers, the risk more than halved -- from 2,009 COVID infections per 100,000 to 996.4 in the latest period of study.

Let's see you claim that 90% of the people are vaccinated. Yet only 62% of hospitalized people were vaccinated.

That means that vaccinations are working otherwise 90% of hospitalized would have been vaccinated.

 

But let's check that 90% number. It looks like a falsehood. In fact, it is a big fat falsehood.
