Ok. I am confused. Are you saying that after having covid and surviving it is the same after being infected with covid after being vaccinated. In other words no difference. One thing I have noticed in the covid narrative is that apparently at my age of 71 I am at great risk and should be vaccinated and isolated for my own protection. I beg to differ this point. I know as an elder in this society that I am more vulnerable because of my age. But at the same time I actually trust my immune system to protect me at this point. I was born in 1950 in Canada and I managed to survive and recover from the mumps,German measles,real measles and chicken pox. I remember reading an article years ago that suggested that because I had these viruses in childhood that I may be protected from things like multpleiscorsis. I have no idea if this is true but it makes sense to me. I think in childhood that I built up a strong immune system. So if you were my doctor and take note like many Canadians I currently don't have one would you suggest I get a covid vaccine just because of my age. At this point I am a 71 year old female with no cormidities, have never had a flu shot in my life,am on no medication for high blood pressure,don't have diabetes and stopped eating Trans fats long before it became known,rarely eat gmos and have believed that taking care of your health by exercising personal responsibility has been a foundation on how I approach my own personal health.Regardless of what the experts say I plan to continue with my own health protecals which up to this point have served me well. Your comments on this post would be most welcomed.
I think you are right, and I have argued natural immunity actually held, and it is more so that this is a different virus. I agree with you. Note Peter agreed more of an immune rechallenge.
Do all spikes exhibit the same binding and infectivity affinity strength? (Do you like my lingo?!)
How come with so many spikes omi does not get into the lungs?
"Researchers reported that “70-80% of the CD4 and CD8 T cell response to spike was maintained across study groups."
That finding is hard to difficult to accept considering that other studies and clinical observations have noted the damage done to the T-cells by the vaccines. However, I accept their finding of protective ability of the uncompromised T-cells conferred by prior infection.

"very low vaccination rates generally favor the emergence of new coronavirus mutations"
This statement was written by the author of the article;
https://www.dw.com/en/new-coronavirus-variant-identified-in-france/a-60329823
But this statement, without evidence, doesn't seem to be backed up by the science.
Thanks for the update Paul.
This piece I wrote yesterday may be of interest.

Let us get jabbed then?

They slyly admit the protective power of natural immunity here:
