This is a slightly different article than what Phil linked, but same results: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news...say-you-still-need-get-vaccinated/5535920001/ "Antibodies elicited by infection do not neutralize the currently circulating coronavirus variants as efficiently as antibodies elicited by mRNA vaccination," Scott Hensley, an associate professor of microbiology at the University of Pennsylvania, previously told USA TODAY. A June 30 study published in Science Translational Medicine found antibodies produced by those fully vaccinated with Moderna's mRNA vaccine were more broadly protective against different variants, compared to antibodies of recovered COVID-19 patients." 'Research has suggested COVID-19 infection can lead to a reservoir of protective antibodies lasting up to eight to 11 months. But these antibodies don't necessarily prevent reinfection, as one recent CDC study and others have discovered. The CDC study released on Aug. 6 found the unvaccinated were 2.34 times more likely to get reinfected compared to the fully vaccinated, among Kentucky residents infected with COVID-19 in 2020 and watched during the study period of May to June 2021." ------------------------------ Summary: We don't know how long antibodies stay strong enough in your body after an infection. We do know this time after vaccination, thus there is going to be booster shots. This way you always know what your protection level is, instead of crossing your fingers and hope.
And the Deaths are all pretty much lies and the lockdowns totally in effective, due to still being allowed into the main spreading areas, ie food shops. Nope right, 100% right!
3 - 4 monthly booster shots, if you don't, then your immunity after that, is WAY lower than your natural immunity, which keeps COVID going for damn well EVER, this is never going away But I'm on 18months, without Symptoms so good enough, had ?? who knows, and I slept with a girl who turned out to have it mid Feb, so looks like I'm still good Unless I have a jab, then natural immunity, which I prefer wiped out!! Seen the 2 Pfizer Tablets per day, how you prove you've had it for your Covid Passport is another issue, taking 2 tablets per day, for a virus treatments bring the deaths down to 0.01% madness. ( Side effects, woman sterile, blindness, made dumber and sudden coincidental death ofcourse )
Quote from a Redditor when asked about her long Covid: "ExcellentHorseshoe Shortness of breath; cough; fatigue; a heart rate that skyrockets out of nowhere and settles down just as quickly, often accompanied by a feeling of absolute terror; chest pain; a body temperature that can drop four degrees in five minutes, accompanied by chills and sweating, but returns to normal within the hour; altered menses, which I will not detail because it's fucking gross; vertigo; tinnitus; intermittent hearing loss; ear pain; joint pain; a feeling of pins and needles in my hands and feet; hallucinations; an odor of stale cigarettes in my nose and mouth; altered taste, e.g. coffee can go from normal to tasting like male cat piss between cups; weird headaches; and, my personal favorite, a brain fog that feels identical to being seriously concussed. The best part is that these symptoms aren't constant; they come and go. Every time I think one has finally resolved for good, it pops back up. That's where it really starts to wear on you emotionally, chips away at your hope. Prior to becoming ill at the end of February 2020, I was completely healthy with no "underlying conditions." I'm in my early-thirties. I ran three to five miles a day, ate well, and generally took care of myself. I also had what could be called a "mild" case in that I didn't go to the hospital, although I did have some nights when I thought I might not wake up the next morning because each breath took so much conscious thought and will. I didn't have a choice to get this thing or not; I worked a customer-facing job at a national and international tourist destination before governments realized how fast and far Alpha was traveling and how people could best protect themselves. Exposure and illness just came down to luck in my case. If you've been healthy to this point, you don't have to rely on luck. You do have a choice. Please don't squander the opportunities to protect yourself that I never had. Get vaccinated and wear masks, y'all." Somebody responding to this: "TheseStonesWillShout I have almost all of these same symptoms nearly a year after first getting covid. I'm the same age as you, same exercise regimen/clean bill of health. I don't think I realized how depressing this year has been until I read this. I had a mild case as well, so it feels weird to even complain about it, but I am absolutely not the same person I was before I got covid. The brain fog is so bad that I avoid social interaction altogether now. I never know if I'm going to be able to focus on a conversation long enough to actually comprehend what is being said. Sometimes, I forget what I'm saying mid sentence. I can't focus at work. I'm barely even doing my job anymore. I am so exhausted by the time I get home from work, I usually just go straight to bed. It's frustrating to know that I'm still functional, but everything just requires more effort than before. And I have these random ailments that just come and go as they please. Oh, today is "everything tastes like shit" day? My ears are going to randomly ring for an hour today? Ok. Am I having a heart attack? No, just recurring chest pains today. It's maddening. I hope it all clears up eventually, but I don't have high hopes. I'm in a state where people are criticized for wearing masks or getting vaccinated and I just want to punch people. Don't get covid. You have no idea what it's going to do to you (the same argument for not getting the vaccine)."
Two people on a planet with nearly 8 billion. Fear mongering doesnt bolster your case. Leave that for the MSM to push.
Yeah, all the numbers you give are correct and all the numbers you don't like are lies. ROFLMAO https://www.kingsfund.org.uk/press/...cess-deaths-in-the-world-ons-deaths-data-2020 https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-55631693 The Covid pandemic has caused excess deaths to rise to their highest level in the UK since World War Two. There were close to 697,000 deaths in 2020 - nearly 85,000 more than would be expected based on the average in the previous five years. This represents an increase of 14% - making it the largest rise in excess deaths for more than 75 years. When the age and size of the population is taken into account, 2020 saw the worst death rates since the 2000s.
"The PITCH study included Delta in the analysis. They compared immune responses from a “short” interval (median 3.4 weeks, IQR 3.0–3.7 weeks, range 2.0–4.9 weeks) between Pfizer doses versus a “long” interval (median 10.0 weeks, IQR 9.0–11.0 weeks, range 6.3–14.1 weeks). The long interval led to a 2.3-fold increase in neutralizing antibodies against Delta vs the short interval (in individuals who were not previously infected). See figure 3A here (evaluated 4 weeks after the second dose)." ------------------------ Pfizer's efficacy dropped to 84% after 6 months, Moderna's was still around 93%. So let's do the math: Person A gets Pfizer 4 weeks apart (100 baseline), after 6 months his antibodies are down to 84. Person B gets Pfizer 8 weeks apart (let's say 200 baseline), 6 months later his antibodies are at 168. TL,DR: It is better to stretch time between the first 2 shots.
@Baron What month did you test positive for Covid and when did you have your last antibodies test ? I think someone that recently tested positive for Covid for the Delta Variant has less worries than someone that tested positive for Covid for example in May 2020 that had the initial Covid virus. My point, new Variants of Concern should be part of the equation for someone to determine if they should be vaccinated or not. Another part of your decision equation is your family. For example, if someone in your family has an underlying medical condition or is immunocompromised...you may want to get vaccinated to minimize the probability of spread (Covid) to that family member because its a family member that's more at risk from a Covid severe infection than other family members. wrbtrader
