This is a political forum.How many vaccinated politicians got covid vs politicians who got covid twice? Lets see who can name the most.I'll be nice and start with 5 who are vaccinated than got covid you name 5 who got covid twice and lets see who can name the most Greg Abbot AOC Mark Warner Rob Portman Chris Coons Now you name 5 politicians who got covid twice.(Might want to name more because I know plenty more)
CDC August CDC Now CDC,Fauci,studies etc lost credibility with me long ago.I'll stick with what I see in the real world.As George Carlin said about God,if I can see something,it makes it a little more believable.
Yes... this study has been covered before and the article snippets you posted fail to provide the entire context of the study results. But we know that you snipping headlines and not providing the complete article(s) is deliberate -- because when content is provided the recommendations based on the study details are very different than the narrative you are pushing. But you already know this -- because we have seen anti-vaxxers pushing this NY & CA study before in these forums -- only the be fact-checked with the reality. Only during 8 weeks of the overall study period (May to November) was "natural immunity" found to be "superior" to vaccination during the Delta wave. This is due to the initial vaccinations were waning by this time late in the study period and boosters were needed. Let's read the bolded sections of the study summary below. COVID-19 Cases and Hospitalizations by COVID-19 Vaccination Status and Previous COVID-19 Diagnosis — California and New York, May–November 2021 https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/71/wr/mm7104e1.htm?s_cid=mm7104e1_w#contribAff Summary What is already known about this topic? Data are limited regarding the risks for SARS-CoV-2 infection and hospitalization after COVID-19 vaccination and previous infection. What is added by this report? During May–November 2021, case and hospitalization rates were highest among persons who were unvaccinated without a previous diagnosis. Before Delta became the predominant variant in June, case rates were higher among persons who survived a previous infection than persons who were vaccinated alone. By early October, persons who survived a previous infection had lower case rates than persons who were vaccinated alone. What are the implications for public health practice? Although the epidemiology of COVID-19 might change as new variants emerge, vaccination remains the safest strategy for averting future SARS-CoV-2 infections, hospitalizations, long-term sequelae, and death. Primary vaccination, additional doses, and booster doses are recommended for all eligible persons. Additional future recommendations for vaccine doses might be warranted as the virus and immunity levels change.
And here is a CNN article that provides the proper context on this study... When the Delta variant dominated, vaccination and prior infection protected against Covid-19, but vaccination was safest, study finds https://www.cnn.com/2022/01/19/health/covid-vaccine-infection-protection-cdc-study/index.html When the Delta variant was dominant in the United States, both vaccination and prior infection helped protect against Covid-19, but vaccination was the safest way to be protected, according to a study published Wednesday by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The data included in the study was collected before the Omicron wave in the United States, and before boosters were widely available. The CDC says it will publish additional data on Covid-19 vaccines, boosters and the Omicron variant later this week. "Although the epidemiology of COVID-19 might change as new variants emerge, vaccination remains the safest strategy for averting future SARS-CoV-2 infections, hospitalizations, long-term sequelae, and death," the researchers wrote. Researchers analyzed the risk of Covid-19 infection and hospitalization among four groups of individuals: vaccinated with and without prior infection and unvaccinated with and without prior infection. The study case data from about 1.1 million cases in California and New York between the end of May and mid-November 2021. Hospitalization data was available from California only. Overall, Covid-19 case and hospitalization rates were highest among unvaccinated people who did not have a previous diagnosis. (More at above url)

Of course vaccination is the safest.Nobody is recommending people purposely try to catch covid to get natural immunity.
I personally know two Republican congressmen that have had Covid twice and not once was it leaked to the media about any of their Covid infections...they are not on anyone's list for documenting reinfections. It's private info as it should be and I'm sure in the hell will not mention them by name at an anonymous forum. The point I'm making is that V.I.P. people are not going to openly discuss their "Covid Reinfection"... it's an embarrassment unless it's leaked to the media. As I keep stating, it's much easier to document vaccinated breakthrough infections than reinfections even among V.I.P. people. Also, as stated multiple times, it was only last summer that the United States begin documenting reinfections, and it requires a very complex series of documents of the genomic sequencing to verified its in fact reinfection...it's extremely expensive too. In fact, only a few states have begun documenting reinfections since the summer of last year...they're doing < 5% genome sequencing verification of all of their Covid positive tests. Instead, the few states are doing testing for reinfection...they're doing such via the lame testing of the recently sent out free home test kits. Maryland is one of those few states that do any type of Reinfection data gathering within the United States. Look closely at the below number for reinfections in just one state and that's only via the recent free home test kits sent out. More importantly, most states are not doing any type of testing for reinfections...that's a huge chunk of our population that we do not know have had Covid multiple times. --------- Maryland adds 24,800 reinfections to COVID-19 dashboard as state approaches 1 million cases By Meredith Cohn Baltimore Sun (TNS) Feb 16, 2022 Maryland health officials confirmed Wednesday what many Marylanders learned the hard way — thousands of people are being reinfected with COVID-19 since the omicron variant emerged. The Maryland Department of Health added 24,800 such infections to the total cases of COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, in its public dashboard. The dashboard shows the state is approaching a major milestone — 1 million confirmed cases — though the tally is likely far higher, as many people are not tested or have taken at-home rapid tests, the results of which aren’t included in the state’s count. There were 481 new cases reported Wednesday, bringing the total to 994,577... https://www.fredericknewspost.com/p...cle_cdff1cc4-a43f-5de5-aa1b-42655deb84d6.html ---------- Don't be naive and think reinfections are not occurring. They are occurring regardless of how many people you can name that are politicians or athletes. The fact has been the same since the 1990s...the United States does a very poor job in genome sequencing of infectious diseases involving viruses. Nothing has changed with Covid considering it's still one of the worst countries that only does 2.5 - 5% genome sequencing of the Covid positive tests. The reason is that the U.S. doesn't have the funding and people really don't care. By end of 2022, there should be more states than a few that document their Reinfections as part of their normal Covid statistics. As stated, I prefer to look at the general population statistics instead of looking at VIP people. P.S. Baron (owner of ET) has been infected with Covid...three times...although I don't know if his reinfections were verified by genomic sequencing. wrbtrader
Not interested in your silly games. So basically your argument is like a guy down the street saying, "I personally know 2 unvaccinated people who were reinfected and told everyone. I personally know 8 people who had vaccinated breakthrough cases and told everyone. However the additional 100 people I personally know; 80 who are vaccinated and 20 who are not, never disclosed any information about Covid cases they had. But still to me the vaccinated breakthrough rate is 4 times the reinfection rate due to the 10 people I know who disclosed their Covid diagnoses." Doesn't matter what the large scale science across millions of cases demonstrates -- your claim is that reinfections are rare due to the circle of people you know and the press you have seen about celebrities. Many of them who never disclose their Covid diagnoses.
In other words in no area of the of the real world whether sports,celebs or even politics can I find actual people I can name or point to can I find more people who got covid twice than who were vaccinated and still got covid.Cant even come close.Got it.
