THREAD: You will hear people say that if you have Covid and you recover you’re fine because you have antibodies and you don’t need to be vaccinated. That’s not true. Dr. Catherine O’Neal, chief medical officer at @ololhealth says: “You think that you have immunity, but...
“...we know now from recent trials that previous infection alone does not give you enough immunity for this virus. You have got to be vaccinated. You also think that you know what this virus is like, but you're about to be attacked with a lot more virus than you had last year...”
“... So think about that cold or that flu-like illness times 10 times a thousand. You're going to be a lot sicker. And we've seen people with previous infections coming to this hospital and die, stay for six weeks, and be intubated...”
“...Don't take the chance. You have to get vaccinated for this virus.”
