This is a really important article from the BMJ that highlights not just the scientific illiteracy but the vicious cruelty of forcing vaccination on those with natural immunity: bmj.com/content/374/bm…
In addition to reviewing the evidence on why NI>vax for protection, the article reviews the evidence on elevated risk to Covid-recovered from vax....
"A large study in the UK and another that surveyed people internationally found that people with a history of SARS-CoV-2 infection experienced greater rates of side effects after vaccination. Among 2000 people who completed an online survey after vaccination...
"those with a history of covid-19 were 56% more likely to experience a severe side effect that required hospital care."
“If natural immunity is strongly protective, as the evidence to date suggests it is, then vaccinating people who have had covid-19 would seem to offer nothing or very little to benefit, logically leaving only harms—both the harms we already know about as well as those...
"still unknown,” says Christine Stabell Benn. The real risk in vaccinating people who have had covid-19 “is of doing more harm than good,” she says.
And here's the really nefarious punchline as to the overall effect of what these callous sadists want to do to those of us with NI--There is growing evidence that a full 2 dose vax might actually be HARMFUL and counterproductive to our immune system.
"Other studies suggest that a two dose regimen may be counterproductive. One found that in people with past infections, the first dose boosted T cells and antibodies but that the second dose seemed to indicate an “exhaustion,” and in some cases even a deletion, of T cells."
And this paper just the other day, "The BNT162b2 vaccine induces reprogramming of innate immune responses... [that] may contribute to a diminished innate immune response towards the virus." medrxiv.org/content/10.110…
Which is further supported by the clinical evidence in Lumley, et al., of INCREASED rate of symptomatic infection in Covid-recovered patients following vax. academic.oup.com/cid/advance-ar…

More evidence to support the hypothesis that full vaccination following NI is actually HARMFUL and reduces immune protection. jci.org/articles/view/…
"the second injection appears to be ineffective, and it is rather associated to a contraction of both Spike-specific circulating B and T cells in the COVID-19–recovered group."
"We also cannot exclude that the second injection might even be detrimental in this context, possibly leading to a functional exhaustion of Spike-specific lymphocytes (20)." @akheriaty

“ In fully vaccinated SARS-CoV-2 naïve individuals, the antibody levels after 134 days of second vaccination reduced to the levels observed in unvaccinated COVID-19 recovered individuals after 220 days of symptom onset.” news-medical.net/news/20210915/…
“Importantly, a significantly higher neutralization efficacy against all tested variants (alpha, beta, gamma, and delta) was observed in unvaccinated COVID-19 recovered individuals than in vaccinated SARS-CoV-2-naïve individuals.”

I think there could be a full-time Twitter feed just for the phrase "Despite being vaccinated." I realize ESPN nowadays might be the single stupidest news source in the galaxy, but why are these guys or anyone else still surprised at this?
espn.com/college-footba…
Then literally IN THE SAME ARTICLE that mentions that the cases are among vaccinated players and stuff comes this little chestnut, "Georgia is not requiring fans to show proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test to attend games at Sanford Stadium this season."
I ask again--do these guys literally never stop and ask themselves, "Hmmmm...." Look folks--if you have Pfizer, at about the 4-5 month mark you should assume you are effectively unimmune unless you get an antibodies and/or t-cell test and confirm you still have immunity.

According to the Israel study, vax of Covid survivors reduces the odds of infection 0.52x versus NI alone (several studies show no benefit). According to a study in JAMA, the odds of adverse events from 1 shot vax post-recovery is increased 4.59x. jamanetwork.com/journals/jamai…
Or how about this: "Prior COVID-19 infection was associated with an increased risk of any side effect.... It was also associated with an increased risk of severe side effects leading to hospital care (1.56 (1.14-2.12))." ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…
"Systemic side-effects were more common (1·6 times after the first dose of ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 and 2·9 times after the first dose of BNT162b2) among individuals with previous SARS-CoV-2 infection than among those without known past infection." ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…

So I find this confusion by @smerconish to be very interesting to try to understand. I appeared on his radio and tv show and he is obviously a very smart man who seems to want to understand this.
@smerconish Yet he still seems to think that what prevents us from reaching herd immunity is that there are too many unvaccinated. Despite the science and so many breakthrough infections (35k a week in the US along according to the CDC) he still doesn't understand how these vaccines work.
@smerconish But he also quite clearly does not understand how evolution works. Evolution has three elements: (1) variation (2) selection (3) replication.

How long does natural immunity last? According to the July 17, 2021 CDC/IDSA Clinician Call the answer is "AT LEAST 11 months." Why estimated? At the time of the call, 11 months was the longest followup period in studies--and many with NI were still going. idsociety.org/globalassets/i…
WHO May Briefing, "[I]n most people immune responses remain robust and protective against reinfection for at least 6-8 months after infection (the longest follow up with strong scientific evidence is currently approximately 8 months)." who.int/publications/i…
Note that didn't say that it lasts only 8 months--it says "at least" 6-8 months because NI was still robust at 8 months when the follow up studies were conducted. CDC/IDSA extends it... another 3 months.
