Natural immunity 27 times better • Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) Naturally Acquired Immunity versus Vaccine-induced Immunity, Reinfections versus Breakthrough Infections: A Retrospective Cohort Study • https://academic.oup.com/cid/article/... • Background • Waning of protection, • conferred by 2 doses of the BNT162b2 vaccine, • begins shortly after injection, • becomes substantial within 4 months. • We examined long-term protection of naturally acquired immunity, • compared to vaccine-induced immunity. • Group 1, N = 673,676 • Vaccine not Infection Group • SARS-CoV-2-naive individuals who received a 2-dose regimen of the BioNTech/Pfizer mRNA BNT162b2 vaccine. • Group 2, N = 62,883 • Infection not Vaccine Group • Previously infected individuals who have not been vaccinated • SARS-CoV-2-related outcomes • June 1st to August 14th 2021 • (Delta variant times) • Infection, 13 times more infections in vaccinated group • Symptomatic disease, 27 times more disease in vaccinated group • Hospitalization, 8 in vaccinated group, 0 in infection group • Death 0 / 0 • Results • When the first event (infection or vaccination) occurred during January and February of 2021. • That’s 4 months up to 8 months • Vaccinees not Infection Group, 13.06-fold increased risk for infection, • compared to Infection not Vaccine Group • Group 2, Infection not Vaccine Group, 13 times less likely to get infected with delta • Group 2, Infection not Vaccine Group, 27 times less likely to get symptomatic infection. • Group 2, Infection not Vaccine Group, 0 COVID-19-related hospitalizations • • Group 1, Vaccine not Infection Group, 8 COVID-19-related hospitalizations • Allowing for more time since first event • 6 to 17 months after first event • Evidence of waning naturally acquired immunity was demonstrated • Vaccine not Infection Group, 5.96-fold increased risk for infection • Vaccine not Infection Group, 7.13-fold increased risk for symptomatic disease. • Conclusions • • Naturally acquired immunity confers stronger protection against infection and symptomatic disease caused by the Delta variant of SARS-CoV-2, • compared to the BNT162b2 2-dose vaccine-indued immunity. • Cleveland Clinic • https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.11... • Health-care workers 1,359 unvaccinated, • who had previously tested positive, • non got infected • The study authors concluded: • “individuals who have had SARS-CoV-2 infection are unlikely to benefit from covid-19 vaccination.” • • Professor Marty Makary, • Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and Bloomberg School of Public Health, editor-in-chief of Medpage Today • https://www.washingtonpost.com/outloo... • It’s okay to have an incorrect scientific hypothesis. • But when new data proves it wrong, you have to adapt. • Unfortunately, many elected leaders and public health officials have held on far too long to the hypothesis that natural immunity offers unreliable protection against covid-19, • a contention that is being rapidly debunked by science. • Sixteen studies have demonstrated the power of acquired immunity • That’s why it’s so frustrating that the Biden administration has repeatedly argued that immunity conferred by vaccines is preferable to immunity caused by natural infection, • • • In my clinical experience, I have found patients to be extremely forgiving with evolving data if you are honest and transparent with them. • The incorrect hypothesis that natural immunity is unreliable has resulted in the loss of thousands of American lives, • avoidable vaccine complications, • and damaged the credibility of public health officials. • it would be good for our public health leaders to show humility by acknowledging that the hypothesis they repeatedly trumpeted was not only wrong, • but it may be harmful. • Public health officials changing their position on natural immunity, • after so much hostility toward the idea, • would go a long way in rebuilding the public trust.
