As the world’s media and governments attempt to segregate the vaxxed from the unvaxxed with green cards/passports, shaming, etc., a big question arises about the millions who’ve already had Covid and who, according to studies below, are better protected than those who get the jab. Dr. Fauci has tried to memory-hole his original stance on natural immunity.
“...if this virus acts like every other virus that we know, once you get infected, get better, clear the virus, then you'll have immunity that will protect you against re-infection. I'd be willing to bet anything that people who recover are really protected against re-infection."
Fauci also gave this interview.
Listen to what these Pfizer scientists say.
The Informed Consent Action Network responded to CDC Director Walenski’s easily refuted answers to their queries with this letter. ICAN attorneys told Walenski, “This is your last warning.” They will bring suit to the CDC if they do not acknowledge that those who’ve had Covid are naturally immune and unable to spread the virus, do not need the vaccine, and should be able to travel, work and intermingle without restrictions.
In this study by Nature, they found some who were never exposed to SARS-CoV2 (Covid-19) had long-memory T-cells and those who had been exposed all had T-cells that combat reinfection and have for 17 years, which is how long they’ve known about SARS-CoV2.
This 2016 study says immunity from SARS lasts at least 11 years.
This Sept. 1, 2021 study from the Journal of Immunology found that SARS protective T cells can “last for 17 years, maybe longer.”
The preprint study from Israel actually got headlines from mainstream media, but this story from Science offers a medical perspective and this article from ZeroHedge offers a different perspective.
This small NIH-sponsored study compared vaccinated people to those who were infected, but asymptomatic. Both had Covid-fighting cells.
This May 2021 study found long-lived bone marrow plasma in those with mild cases of Covid-19.
The NIH published this preprint study of 254 Covid-19 patients. It concluded, “these results suggest that broad and effective immunity may persist long-term in recovered COVID-19 patients.”
The University of Missouri studied 9,000 patients and found that less than 1% of those who had a severe case of Covid-19 were reinfected in this study.
This Cleveland Clinic preprint study of 52,238 employees found that 99.3% of all infections (of which 99% will survive) occurred in participants who were not infected previously and were unvaccinated. Only 0.7% of COVID-19 illness appeared in those who didn’t have COVID-19 but received their vaccines. And amazingly, not a single infection was found among study subjects who were previously infected, with or without vaccination.
The question is why should the millions who’ve had Covid-19 be mandated to get the injection, especially when these studies show they’re better protected?
Despite all the information above, this is the garbage the AP spews. So, do you believe the science or do you believe the fact-checkers?
In other words, get the shot anyway! You're still better protected if you add the shot!
Au contraire! Guess what? It does more harm than good. Let’s take a look.

We only prevent 1 asymptomatic re-infection for every 833 people w/ natural immunity we vax. But 1 in 11 COVID-recovered experience clinically significant side effects. This means: to prevent a single asymptomatic case, we hurt 75.
Johns Hopkins studied 1,000 healthcare workers and found 4.4x elevated risk of “clinically significant” side-effects following vax of those w/ prior COVID. “Prior COVID was associated w/ increased odds of clinically significant symptoms following dose 1”
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8002738/
“A prior COVID-19 infection was associated with an 8% increase in the risk of having any side effects after the first vaccine dose.” “…a prior COVID-19 infection was associated with the risk of experiencing a severe side effect requiring hospital care”
https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.03.22.436441v1
“…in individuals with a pre-existing immunity against COVID, second vax dose not only failed to boost humoral immunity but determines a contraction of the spike-specific T cell response.”
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8078878/
“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.”
Look what the FDA says:
https://www.fda.gov/media/150054/download
Requiring the immune to get vaxed unnecessarily exposes them to risk of adverse reactions, including thrombosis & myocardial inflammation, neurologic injury, and possibly death. These side effects also appear more predominant in male patients.
https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/10760296211020833
“Hyperviscosity is likely to occur in any [vaccine] recipient who has previous COVID19. Screening for possible previous COVID-19 before COVID-19 vaccination might be necessary for prevention of unwanted blood thrombohemostasis adverse effect.”
There are three takeaways: 1). naturally acquired immunity is real, 2). vaccine risks outweigh benefits to covid survivors, and 3). the push to vaccinate covid survivors is motivated by politics and not science. The Wall Street Journal agrees:
The risk of death from the vaccine is statistically small, but it exists nonetheless. It’s therefore immoral & illogical to force those who already have robust & durable immunity to take a vaccine with real and serious potential side effects.
If you’ve had Covid and you want to augment your case for no jabs with your family/friends/physician who keep pushing you to get it, here’s a collection of studies. Ask them to provide as many studies to make their case.

Our key defense against the COVID-19 pandemic is neutralizing antibodies against the SARS-CoV-2 virus elicited by natural infection or vaccination. Recent emerging viral variants have raised concern because of their potential to escape antibody neutralization. Wang et al. identified four antibodies from early-outbreak convalescent donors that are potent against 23 variants, including variants of concern

This study followed 52,238 employees of the Cleveland Clinic Health System in Ohio.
For previously-infected people, the cumulative incidence of re-infection “remained almost zero.” According to the study, "Not one of the 1,359 previously infected subjects who remained unvaccinated had a [Covid-19] infection over the duration of the study” and vaccination did not reduce the risk. “Individuals who have had [Covid-19] infection are unlikely to benefit from COVID-19 vaccination,” concludes the study scientists.
https://doi.org/10.1101/2021.06.01.21258176
Not one of the 1359 previously infected subjects who remained unvaccinated had a SARS-CoV-2 infection over the duration of the study. In a Cox proportional hazards regression model, after adjusting for the phase of the epidemic, vaccination was associated with a significantly lower risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection among those not previously infected (HR 0.031, 95% CI 0.015 to 0.061) but not among those previously infected (HR 0.313, 95% CI 0 to Infinity). Conclusions. Individuals who have had SARS-CoV-2 infection are unlikely to benefit from COVID-19 vaccination, and vaccines can be safely prioritized to those who have not been infected before.

Nearly 40% of new COVID patients were vaccinated - compared to just 1% who had been infected previously.

"Attack rate was 0/6 among persons with a previous history of COVID-19 versus 63.2% among those with no previous history."

This study followed 254 Covid-19 patients for up to 8 months and concluded they had “durable broad-based immune responses.” In fact, even very mild Covid-19 infection also protected the patients from an earlier version of “SARS" coronavirus that first emerged around 2003, and against Covid-19 variants. “Taken together, these results suggest that broad and effective immunity may persist long-term in recovered COVID-19 patients,” concludes the study scientists.

This study of real world data extended the time frame of available data indicating that patients have strong immune indicators for “almost a year post-natural infection of COVID-19.” The study concludes the immune response after natural infection "may persist for longer than previously thought, thereby providing evidence of sustainability that may influence post-pandemic planning.”

This study examined bone marrow of previously-infected patients and found that even mild infection with Covid-19 “induces robust antigen-specific, long-lived humoral immune memory in humans.” The study indicates "People who have had mild illness develop antibody-producing cells that can last lifetime.”

This study found a rare Covid-19 positive test "reinfection" rate of 1 per 1,000 recoveries.
https://www.nih.gov/news-events/nih-research-matters/lasting-immunity-found-after-recovery-covid-19
Research funded by the National Institutes of Health and published in Science early in the Covid-19 vaccine effort found the “immune systems of more than 95% of people who recovered from COVID-19 had durable memories of the virus up to eight months after infection," and hoped the vaccines would produce similar immunity. (However, experts say they do not appear to be doing so.)
https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.01.15.21249731v2
This study found Covid-19 natural infection "appears to elicit strong protection against reinfection" for at least seven months. "Reinfection is "rare," concludes the scientists.

This study found that all patients who recently recovered from Covid-19 produced immunity-strong T cells that recognize multiple parts of Covid-19.
They also looked at blood samples from 23 people who’d survived a 2003 outbreak of a coronavirus: SARS (Cov-1). These people still had lasting memory T cells 17 years after the outbreak. Those memory T cells, acquired in response to SARS-CoV-1, also recognized parts of Covid-19 (SARS-CoV-2).

University of California, Irvine, July 21, 2021 The authors conclude: "Natural infection induced expansion of largerCD8 T cell clones occupied distinct clusters, likely due to the recognition of a broader set of viral epitopes presented by the virus not seen in the mRNA vaccine"
https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.05.12.443888v1
University of California, San Francisco, May 12, 2021 Conclusion: "In infection-naïve individuals, the second dose boosted the quantity but not quality of the T cell response, while in convalescents the second dose helped neither.
Given that we know the virus spreads through the nasopharynx, the fact that natural infection conveys much stronger mucosal immunity makes it clear that the previously infected are much safer to be around than infection-naive people with the vaccine. The fact that this study artfully couched the choices between vaccinated naive people and vaccinated recovered rather than just plain recovered doesn't change the fact that it's the prior infection, not the vaccine, conveying mucosal immunity. In fact, studies now show that infected vaccinated people contain just as much viral load in their nasopharynx as those unvaccinated

Israeli researchers, August 22, 2021 Aside from more robust T cell and memory B cell immunity, which is more important than antibody levels, Israeli researchers found that antibodies wane slower among those with prior infection. "In vaccinated subjects, antibody titers decreased by up to 40% each subsequent month while in convalescents they decreased by less than 5% per month."

Irish researchers, published in Wiley Review, May 18, 2021 Researchers conducted a review of 11 cohort studies with over 600,000 total recovered COVID patients who were followed up with over 10 months. The key finding? Unlike the vaccine, after about four to six months, they found "no study reporting an increase in the risk of reinfection over time."

Israeli researchers, April 24, 2021 Israeli researchers studied 6.3 million Israelis and their COVID status and were able to confirm only one death in the entire country of someone who supposedly already had the virus, and he was over 80 years old. Contrast that to the torrent of hospitalizations and deaths in those vaccinated
Duke-NUS Medical School, Singapore, published in Journal of Experimental Medicine Many people are wondering: If they got only an asymptomatic infection, are they less protected against future infection than those who suffered infection with more evident symptoms? These researchers believe the opposite is true. "Asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2–infected individuals are not characterized by weak antiviral immunity; on the contrary, they mount a highly functional virus-specific cellular immune response," wrote the authors after studying T cell responses from both symptomatic and asymptomatic convalescent patients.
Korean researchers, published in Nature Communications on June 30, 2021 The authors found that the T cells created from convalescent patients had "stem-cell like" qualities. After studying SARS-CoV-2-specific memory T cells in recovered patients who had the virus in varying degrees of severity, the authors concluded that long-term "SARS-CoV-2-specific T cell memory is successfully maintained regardless of the severity of COVID-19."
https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/
Rockefeller University, July 29, 2021 The researchers note that far from suffering waning immunity, memory B cells in those with prior infection "express increasingly broad and potent antibodies that are resistant to mutations found in variants of concern." They conclude that "memory antibodies selected over time by natural infection have greater potency and breadth than antibodies elicited by vaccination." And again, this is even before getting into the innate cellular immunity which is exponentially greater in those with natural immunity.**

Natural immunity to covid is powerful. Policymakers seem afraid to say so. 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

Conclusions: This study demonstrated that natural immunity confers longer lasting and stronger protection against infection, symptomatic disease and hospitalization caused by the Delta variant of SARS-CoV-2, compared to the BNT162b2 two-dose vaccine-induced immunity. Individuals who were both previously infected with SARS-CoV-2 and given a single dose of the vaccine gained additional protection against the Delta

LEGAL CASE In August 2021 I filed a suit in Federal court challenging the constitutionality of the University of California's vaccine mandate on behalf of Covid-recovered individuals, whose natural immunity is equal to (indeed, superior to) vaccine-mediated immunity. Forcing those with natural immunity to be vaccinated introduces unnecessary risks without commensurate benefits--either to individuals or the population as a whole--and violates their rights guaranteed under the equal protection clause of the Constitution's 14th Amendment. Expert witness legal briefs include, among others, a declaration from several highly distinguished UC School of Medicine faculty members from infectious disease, microbiology/immunology, cardiology, endocrinology, pediatrics, OB/Gyn, and psychiatry.
26 AUG 2021 The natural immune protection that develops after a SARS-CoV-2 infection offers considerably more of a shield against the Delta variant of the pandemic coronavirus than two doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, according to a large Israeli study that some scientists wish came with a “Don’t try this at home” label. The newly released data show people who once had a SARS-CoV-2 infection were much less likely than never-infected, vaccinated people to get Delta, develop symptoms from it, or become hospitalized with serious COVID-19.
Additionally, the Brownstone Institute provides 81 studies in this article that affirms naturally acquired immunity to Covid-19.
