Masks are not needed outdoors, just masks are needed because we live in a society of very mixed ability. Colombia has not a great vaccination rate and is the home of Mu but.. The deaths have fallen away, decoupled nicely in combination with the vaccination they do have. Everyone wears a mask in public and everyone knows this is for kids, low IQ adults, elderly and pushy little sociopath jerks who kept 'forgetting' to put on their mask when it is needed.
Once again -- as outlined in the how anti-vaxxers co-opt science and recent fact checks -- there is one non-peer reviewed pre-print study on the face of the earth out of Israel that anti-vaxxers are using to push misinformation about natural immunity . The study actually states that people need at least one dose of the vaccine after being infected to have the best immunity. As I have stated for many months -- both first-generation vaccination and natural immunity fade very quickly (within two years estimated) for Covid-19 --- as outlined in antibody levels in individuals. This is why vaccination and boosters is so critical to protecting the health of society. Natural antibody immunity in 40% of individuals after Covid-19 infection is not present at sufficient levels at the six month mark to prevent re-infection. The situation for natural antibody immunity at the 9 months mark is even more dismal. Of course when more infectious variants of a disease comes out the efficacy of vaccines is reduced. It may have been 95% against the original Covid -- there should be no surprise that it is lower against Delta. It amusing that you continual make claims misrepresenting what I have stated - -while you keep pushing your absurd fantasies to undermine public health. However the bottom line is the best & fastest route to ending the Covid-19 pandemic and get back to a situation mirroring pre-Covid life will be to get 90% of the population vaccinated as soon as possible. --- and to keep those vaccines current via boosters at required intervals until a "universal, permanent coronavirus vaccine" comes out in about 5 years (estimated).
a. This study below... shows natural immunity is 13 times superior in the best data we have asshole... stop lying about natural immunity. b. you have never produced one scientist who has recently said natural immunity only lasts a few months... you keep lying your ass off. Produce the scientists and science who say natural goes away in healthy people in a few months. you are a fucking lying piece of shit for denying this. if the vax works longer term in healthy people its because of the immune system and their potential for natural immunity via T Cells and memory B cells which were activated by the vaccine... as the virus would do the same... But natural immunity could be far more robust. We know of no magical fucking property of the vaccine you moron. It temporarily spikes antibodies and then the natural immune system would provide longer term immunity in healthy people. https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.08.24.21262415v1 Results SARS-CoV-2-naïve vaccinees had a 13.06-fold (95% CI, 8.08 to 21.11) increased risk for breakthrough infection with the Delta variant compared to those previously infected, when the first event (infection or vaccination) occurred during January and February of 2021. The increased risk was significant (P<0.001) for symptomatic disease as well. When allowing the infection to occur at any time before vaccination (from March 2020 to February 2021), evidence of waning natural immunity was demonstrated, though SARS-CoV-2 naïve vaccinees had a 5.96-fold (95% CI, 4.85 to 7.33) increased risk for breakthrough infection and a 7.13-fold (95% CI, 5.51 to 9.21) increased risk for symptomatic disease. SARS-CoV-2-naïve vaccinees were also at a greater risk for COVID-19-related-hospitalizations compared to those that were previously infected. Conclusions This study demonstrated that natural immunity confers longer lasting and stronger protection against infection, symptomatic disease and hospitalization caused by the Delta variant of SARS-CoV-2, compared to the BNT162b2 two-dose vaccine-induced immunity. Individuals who were both previously infected with SARS-CoV-2 and given a single dose of the vaccine gained additional protection against the Delta variant.
Just how many times are you going to misrepresent what the study is stating. As the study shows — the best protection is to get one dose of the vaccine after you were infected. So hurry up and get vaccinated even if you were previously infected. As noted in multiple articles this non-peer reviewed pre-print study is being used by anti-vaccine Covid-deniers to push a false “natural immunity” narrative.

Lying about science. 1 dose and natural immunity did well too. But why do you lie your ass off about science.
