Well, This Is Good News (Covid): Naturally Immune People at Little Risk of Reinfection, Severe Disease From COVID-19:
2021-11-28
[NTD] People who recovered from COVID-19 are at little risk of contracting the disease again, according to a study published this week.

Researchers in Qatar examined a cohort of over 353,000 people using national databases that contain information about patients with polymerase-chain-reaction-confirmed infections.

The studied population contracted COVID-19, the disease caused by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, between Feb. 28, 2020, and April 28, 2021.

Reinfections were counted if a person tested positive at least 90 days after their first infection.

After excluding approximately 87,500 people with a vaccination record, researchers found those with immunity from having recovered from COVID-19 had little risk of reinfection and severe cases of the disease.

Just 1,304 reinfections were identified. That means 0.4 percent of people with natural immunity and without a vaccination record got COVID-19 a second time.

The study was published in the New England Journal of Medicine. It was funded by Weill Cornell Medicine—Qatar, Qatar’s Ministry of Public Health, the Hamad Medical Corporation, and Sidra Medicine

#13  one other thing, Where are the public service announcements on what to do if you get infected and are not vaxxed? I hear vaxx psa's 50 times a day on the radio and tv but not one on how to lessen your chances of getting very sick. Nothing on vitamin d, zinc, vitamin c, HCQ, Ivermectin, aspirin, mouthwashes and nasal sprays than can help reduce the viral load if used multiple times a day, monoclonal antibodies, etc, etc, etc.

The last mention of treatment was a $500/dose Pfizer pill. Great for Fauxci's friends at Pfizer.

And how about a single study (in the US)comparing a vaccinated group vs. a group using Ivermectin as prophylaxis or treatment? You wont see it because they already know they wont like the results.

#12  reinfection after 90 days seems like a short time frame in which false positives can occur. It has been shown that people can test positive for Covid long after, perhaps many months, after the initial infection. I would bet most of those 1304 "reinfections" were false positives from initial infection.

And yes to #10, the are definitely hiding negative vaxx data from us.

It truly seems like they want 100% of people to have the jab so there is no meaningful population of unvaxxed to have for long term comparison. They probably know their decisions have been terrible but better to have everyone in the same boat together. A decent cohort of unvaxxed could provide an unwelcome data set for future analysis.

#11  Trump was a pushover for Fauci.

The only pol with brains and a spine on this matter is DeSantis.

#10  

Its clear they are hiding VAX data from us.

But, say for $hits and Giggles, we actually manage to have a Honest 2022 and/or 2024 Election cycle and the Correct PRO-USA people are put in power.

Will they be able to, or want to buck the Deep State system, like TRUMP did. Putting up with the endless HELL and personal attacks like he did?

#8  #5 With the prospect of ever increasing contagions and emotional hyperbole you will see people avoid contact with medical. Especially men. This is normal. You can fool some of the people some of the time but you will never fool all the people all of the time.

#7  They can't interpret data.

They don't understand herd immunity.

They lack the courage and common sense needed to take back control from arrogant, power-mad little unelected apparatchiki like Fauci and the CDC and WHO monomaniacs.

They've subjected billions of people to a wildly risky, uncontrolled experiment for dubious benefits at certain astronomical cost.

We Are Ruled By Tyrannical Morons -- who have lost whatever legitimacy they possessed.

And who must now be resisted by popular forces everywhere.

#6  ^ that would upset The Narrative.

And expose our leaders as conformist ninnies who don't have the faintest idea of WTF they're doing.

#5  I note that there seems to be no interest in identifying the unvaxxed who have had low level infection of Covid and show no symptoms. Nor the testing of family members who have lived in close quarters with other family members who have suffered the disease, but failed to come down with it themselves.

#4  Jay Bhattacharya of Stanford on the Errors and Incompetence of Fauci and the Public Health Authorities - interview with Peter Robinson

Dr. Jay Bhattacharya: That's the key point, Peter. ... the mortality rate is important, but the key point is that the strategy used to control the disease [was misguided and bound to fail].

Up to that point, the strategy, the idea was that if we could find all of the cases of it, test enough, isolate the people that have it so they don't pass the disease on, then we'll suppress the disease down to zero. That worked, I think, with SARS one, it worked with Ebola, it has worked in the past with other diseases.

Peter Robinson: It's not a crazy idea.

Jay Bhattacharya: No, it's not a crazy idea. The problem is that if you have a situation in mid April, 2020, where 3, 4% of large Metro centers had evidence of the disease already, you know the disease is very, very infectious, that's a strategy that cannot work. At that point what folks should have realized, including folks like Fauci and the CDC should have realized, is that a strategy to stop the disease from spreading down to zero was not possible.

On the US & UK public health authorities' complete misunderstanding of herd immunity:

Jay Bhattacharya: Jay Bhattacharya: Yeah, I think [former UK Minister of Public Health Matt] Hancock was using [herd immunity] as a synonym for zero COVID. The COVID's gone away because enough people are infected.

[But] COVID is a coronavirus. The other coronaviruses that are in common circulation in human populations produce colds. And they're controlled by herd immunity. They're not always increasing exponentially so that everyone gets it. What happens is they rise and fall with the season. Enough people get it and what herd immunity means is when one person has the infection, they spread it to one or fewer additional people.

Peter Robinson: So you don't get an exponential growth?

Jay Bhattacharya: Right. You see declining cases, for instance.
... When it's out of season, you can have a relatively few people with immunity and you won't see it growing. So herd immunity is not a synonym for zero COVID. I think [former UK Minister of Public Health Matt] Hancock, I think, that's the mistake he made there.

The other thing about herd immunity with these disease is, it was clear in October of that year of 2020, and even more clear now that if you are infected, you actually gain substantial protection against re-infection.

So there was a study that was just released actually recently, but verifies a whole long line of studies. At one year... This is out of Italy. At one year after infection, 0.3% are reinfected. So you're infected, you recover from COVID and within the context of the full year, three out of 1,000 get reinfected. And almost always, it's less severe than the first time, because your body still remembers how to fight it off.

#3  Forced universal vaccinations are not the answer. All the science should be considered, not censored.

55 Years to find out the truth is not acceptable FDA

Enough of my comment, I urge you to read RB Readers.

#2  "natural immunity" is a fuzzy term. It can apply to people who have survived a documented Covid-19 infection. It can apply to people who have survived a UNdocumented Covid-19 infection (i.e., they had the disease but were never tested/diagnosed as having it). It can apply to people who basically won't ever get the infection even though they've never been vaccinated or never been infected -- there are some individuals who can't contract AIDS or bubonic plague etc.
