I really hope Biden recognizes natural immunity tomorrow in his Covid announcements. Israeli study found it is 27x more effective than vaccines in preventing symptomatic infections. reuters.com/world/us/biden…
Public health officials seem afraid to acknowledge natural imm because they fear it will lead some to choose getting the infection over getting vax.
But we can encourage non-immune Americans to get vaccinated AND be honest & transparent with the data on nat imm at the same time.

Different from Europe, U.S. public health officials cont to dismiss nat imm, losing cred (& hurting vax efforts), insisting those who recovered from Covid MUST still get the vax. They are inexplicably sticking to their original theory that nat imm is fleeting, despite new data.
If I were advising Biden, I would tell him that people appreciate honesty & can be very forgiving.
His medical advisors are like-minded & their group-think got nat imm wrong. It's ok to have a wrong hypothesis in science, but now it's time to accept nat imm for vax requirements.
