Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Naturally Acquired Immunity versus Vaccine-induced Immunity, Reinfections versus Breakthrough Infections: A Retrospective Cohort Study
Sivan Gazit et al. Background. Waning of protection against infection with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) conferred by 2 doses of the BNT162b2 vaccine begins shortly a er inoculation and becomes substantial within 4 months. With that, the impact of prior infection on incident SARS-CoV-2 reinfection is unclear. Therefore, we examined the long-term […]
Past SARS-CoV-2 Infection Protection Against Re-infection: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
COVId-19 Forecasting Team Understanding the level and characteristics of protection from past SARS-CoV-2 infection against subsequent re-infection, symptomatic COVID-19 disease, and severe disease is essential for predicting future potential disease burden, for designing policies that restrict travel or access to venues where there is a high risk of transmission, and for informing choices about when […]
Nutrition and Natural Strategies Offer Hope Against COVID-19
Joseph Mercola The only real defense against COVID-19 is your own immune system, which works best when fed right. While changing your diet is a commonsense solution for the long term, a rapid-response strategy would be to use vitamin C Vitamin C strengthens your immune system and kills pathogens, including viruses, when taken in high […]
Breakthrough Antibody Discovery Could Mean End to Covid Vaccination
Nicky Blackburn A team of researchers has discovered that antibodies isolated from the immune system of recovered COVID-19 patients are effective in neutralizing all known strains of the virus, including the Delta and Omicron variants. According to the researchers, targeted treatment with these antibodies delivered to the body in high concentrations may eliminate the need […]
Effects of Vaccination and Previous Infection on Omicron Infections in Children
Dan-Yu Lin et al. On October 29, 2021, the Food and Drug Administration authorized the BNT162b2 vaccine (Pfizer–BioNTech) for emergency use in children 5 to 11 years of age, on the basis of an immunobridging study and a small efficacy study.1 Recent case–control studies have shown modest short-term effectiveness of the BNT162b2 vaccine in this […]
Yes, Covid Vaccines UNSET and ERASE Natural Immunity
Igor Chudov Remember how vaccine skeptics told people who had Covid, that the vaccine would UNSET their natural immunity? We had anecdotal evidence. I know some previously infected people who got vaccinated and then went on to be reinfected after vaccination (some twice). Finally, we have an article with plenty of data provided, that confirmed […]
Self-Selected COVID-19 “Unvaccinated” Cohort Reports Favorable Health Outcomes and Unjustified Discimination in Global Survey
Robert Verkerk, Christof Plothe, Naseeba Kathrada and Latarina Lindley Self-reported data collected independently by the UK-based Control Group Cooperative between September 2021 and February 2022, inclusive, from a self-selected international COVID-19 “unvaccinated” population are discussed. Data come from a cohort of 18,497 participants who provided questionnaire responses monthly. The largest numbers are from Europe, North […]
New England Journal of Medicine: Unvaccinated COVID Patients Are Contagious for LESS Time Than Those Vaxed or Boosted
Natalie Winters A study published in the New England Journal of Medicine showed that people vaccinated against COVID-19 remained contagious with the virus for a longer period of time than their unvaccinated counterparts. The disparity in contagiousness was particularly pronounced between the unvaccinated and individuals who did not receive a booster shot. … The study […]
