My point was that you were providing a url and not a quote from an actual study or other research. So, what people like to do is claim one thing about an article, link that article with out quoting anything in the article, and then moving on. I call them "links to nowhere," kinda like Alaska's bridge to nowhere. I'm aware that natural immunity is effective, but that really isn't the argument. The argument is do you really WANT natural immunity in the first place - since over half a million Americans have already died from a single infection of COVID? Secondly, it's not clear how natural immunity from COVID A defends you against COVID Delta. You have info on that from Nature.com? If so, please provide it. Otherwise, the just is out. Also, the jury is out on just how long natural immunity is effective.What does that even mean? I included a link not a study? To include a study it would have to be a link. I sent you one article from nature.com that referenced a study, then in another post I linked to a study itself. Both from nature.com, both confirming the effectiveness of natural immunity. But, I guess only their studies on vaccine efficacy counts? In which case your agenda is obvious and you're not someone capable of being objective.
I'm not the one picking and choosing, I follow ALL of the science. I never said the vaccine wasn't effective. In fact, I've said countless times now that anyone older or at-risk should absolutely get vaccinated. For everyone else, it's a personal decision that I have no business judging.
So the question is, why can't the government or their bootlickers (yourself) admit that natural immunity is effective? There are people who contracted the virus before a vaccine was available to them, and these people, based on the science, should be considered just as safe and protected as those vaccinated. Thus, should not be under any vaccine mandates. That's all this is about. Give natural immunity the credit it deserves.
Also, I stumbled upon this little gem was looking at other info:
April 23, 2021 -- Long-haul COVID-19 patients face many health threats -- including a higher chance of dying -- up to 6 months after they catch the virus, according to a massive study published in the journal Nature.
A second study, released by the CDC on Friday, also found lingering symptoms months later among COVID-19 patients who originally had mild symptoms.
For the Nature study, researchers examined more than 87,000 COVID-19 patients and nearly 5 million control patients in a federal database. They found COVID-19 patients had a 59% higher risk of death up to 6 months after infection, compared to non-infected people.
So, according to that rather large study, released by the CDC, they've found that even if you survive COVID... you know fall into a group of post-COVID infections that are now 59% more at risk of dying. And even if you don't die... you may still be stuck with COVID long haul symptoms. So, yeah, natural immunity may not be that great of a thing to have, ya know?
