Natural Immunity WINS again!! BOOM! "Our study showed that natural immunity offers stronger and longer-lasting protection against infection, symptoms, and hospitalization compared to vaccine-induced

immunity." Uusküla et al. (NATURE); Research findings matches seminal paper published Brownstone (Dr. Paul Alexander) showing BODY of evidence that NATURAL immunity superior to vaccinal immunity, 100%

‘We were able to extend the results of Gazit et al.²¹ by documenting a higher risk for infection and hospitalization caused not only by the Delta variant but also the Omicron SARS-CoV-2 variant among those with vaccine-induced immunity compared to those with natural immunity. Our study showed that natural immunity offers stronger and longer-lasting protection against infection, symptoms, and hospitalization compared to vaccine-induced immunity.’

‘During the Delta period, individuals with vaccine-induced immunity sustained a higher risk for infection than those with natural immunity (Delta period: IR 13.1, 95%CI 12.7–13.4 vs 3.3, 95%CI 3.2–3.5). For the Omicron period, the difference in risk diminished (IR 116.6, 95%CI 112.6–120.7 vs 115.0, 95%CI 112.2–117.9). The risks for COVID-19 hospitalization were very low in both subcohorts (see Fig. 2c and Table 2).

Compared to individuals with natural immunity, those with vaccine-induced immunity were at significantly higher risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection during the Delta period (aHR 4.90, 95%CI 4.48–5.36)), and at 13% higher risk during the Omicron period (aHR 1.13, 95%CI 1.06–1.21). Increased risk for COVID-19 hospitalisation among those with vaccine immunity during the Delta period (aHR 7.19, 95%CI 4.02–12.84) was not sustained over the Omicron period (aHR 2.0, 95%CI 0.64–6.25).

In both periods, the risk of infection was higher among those younger than 50 years, and a longer time since the immunity-conferring event (vaccination) was associated with a minimal increase in risk (Delta 1.13, 95%CI 1.12–1.15; Omicron aHR 1.01, 95%CI 1.00–1.02). (Table S4). The risk of COVID-19 hospitalization was lower among women and increased with age and with increasing numbers of comorbid conditions (Table S5).’

‘The risk for infection among those with vaccine-induced immunity (in comparison with those with natural immunity) was more pronounced during the Delta variant-dominated period (risk increase of 195% vs. 13% during the Omicron period). The risk of severe COVID-19 among vaccinees in our study is comparable to that described from a UK cohort study (from a similar time period)²⁰.

We were able to extend the results of Gazit et al.²¹ by documenting a higher risk for infection and hospitalization caused not only by the Delta variant but also the Omicron SARS-CoV-2 variant among those with vaccine-induced immunity compared to those with natural immunity. Our study showed that natural immunity offers stronger and longer-lasting protection against infection, symptoms, and hospitalization compared to vaccine-induced immunity.’

"During both periods, natural immunity proved to be highly effective in protecting against reinfections progressing to severe disease and was associated with a significantly lower risk of COVID hospitalization than no SARS-CoV-2-specific immunity," the researchers said.’

My prior Brownstone review showing the body of evidence that natural immunity confers and conferred more protection than any vaccinal immunity:

https://brownstone.org/articles/research-studies-affirm-naturally-acquired-immunity/

We should not force COVID vaccines on anyone when the evidence shows that naturally acquired immunity is equal to or more robust and superior to existing vaccines. Instead, we should respect the right of the bodily integrity of individuals to decide for themselves. 

Public health officials and the medical establishment with the help of the politicized media are misleading the public with assertions that the COVID-19 shots provide greater protection than natural immunity.  CDC Director Rochelle Walensky, for example, was deceptive in her October 2020 published LANCET statement that “there is no evidence for lasting protective immunity to SARS-CoV-2 following natural infection” and that “the consequence of waning immunity would present a risk to vulnerable populations for the indefinite future.” 

Immunology and virology 101 have taught us over a century that natural immunity confers protection against a respiratory virus’s outer coat proteins, and not just one, e.g. the SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein. There is even strong evidence for the persistence of antibodies. Even the CDC recognizes natural immunity for chicken-pox and measles, mumps, and rubella, but not for COVID-19. 

The vaccinated are showing viral loads (very high) similar to the unvaccinated (Acharya et al. and Riemersma et al.), and the vaccinated are as infectious. Riemersma et al. also report Wisconsin data that corroborate how the vaccinated individuals who get infected with the Delta variant can potentially (and are) transmit(ting) SARS-CoV-2 to others (potentially to the vaccinated and unvaccinated). 

This troubling situation of the vaccinated being infectious and transmitting the virus emerged in seminal nosocomial outbreak papers by Chau et al. (HCWs in Vietnam), the Finland hospital outbreak (spread among HCWs and patients), and the Israel hospital outbreak (spread among HCWs and patients). These studies also revealed that the PPE and masks were essentially ineffective in the healthcare setting. Again, the Marek’s disease in chickens and the vaccination situation explains what we are potentially facing with these leaky vaccines (increased transmission, faster transmission, and more ‘hotter’ variants). 

Moreover, existing immunity should be assessed before any vaccination, via an accurate, dependable, and reliable antibody test (or T cell immunity test) or be based on documentation of prior infection (a previous positive PCR or antigen test). Such would be evidence of immunity that is equal to that of vaccination and the immunity should be provided the same societal status as any vaccine-induced immunity. This will function to mitigate the societal anxiety with these forced vaccine mandates and societal upheaval due to job loss, denial of societal privileges etc. Tearing apart the vaccinated and the unvaccinated in a society, separating them, is not medically or scientifically supportable. 

The Brownstone Institute previously documented 30 studies on natural immunity as it relates to Covid-19. 

This follow-up chart is the most updated and comprehensive library list of 150 of the highest-quality, complete, most robust scientific studies and evidence reports/position statements on natural immunity as compared to the COVID-19 vaccine-induced immunity and allow you to draw your own conclusion.

This represents the judged trustworthy ‘body of evidence’ that includes peer-reviewed studies and high-quality literature and reporting that contributes to that body of evidence. The aim here is to share and inform for your own decision-making.
