Qatar Study

Demonstrates that severity of illness from reinfections is extremely low.

Zero critical or fatal reinfections.

So this basically means that since I just recovered from Covid and unvaccinated, there is no need for me to get vaccinated or deal with boosters right?

This is another reason mandates don't make a lot of sense to me. I should be able to provide my positive Covid PCR results just like someone provides their vaccine record.

Why are we still pretending that a vaccinated person has better immunity than an infected and recovered person?

Reinfection delay of 179 to 315 days
21% reinfected
0.3% chance of a severe case needing hospitalization when reinfected.
0 cases needing ICU
0 deaths

These numbers seem far better than vaxx numbers.

Probably, at least in part, because primary infection is more likely to take out those that are more frail. Those that are vaccinated are still facing that first round challenge to their bodies - and data shows that they handle it a lot better than unvaccinated.

Makes sense. This is the case with just about every other pathogen. No reason to think SARS Cov-2 is any different.

Yeah, everyone is aware of this. But what about those who are unvaccinated and recovered? Looks like zero reason to risk the vaccine and any possible acute or long term effects.

CNN is the enemy of the state and should be treated as such.

I'm not sure that explaination squares. Even amongst the most frail, the survival rate is still 90-95% (depending on how specific you get), right? That leaves a huge segment of frail folks who will - by nature of reality - be older and weaker when they're reinfected.

Put more simply: you'd expect someone who barely survived Covid round 1 and was left with long Covid deteriorated health to be easier to pick off for round 2. There should be SOME instances like that, right?!

I think the simpler explaination is that the novel infection is the highest risk one, and subsequent reinfection (even by variant) really is far easier for the body to detect and quickly fend off.

It's been nearly a month, and I've noticed an absence of some usual pro-vaccine posters who want nothing to do with this thread.

Interesting. A study whose results are in line with everything we've learned about the human immune system over the past few hundred years, in spite of others trying to scare folks to the contrary for the past year

Sorry for the sarcasm.

You mean like every other virus over the past 100 years?

If natural immunity is not effective against Covid (as the narrative seems to be shifting to), where are all the unvaccinated people who have died from reinfections?

Surely this information would be widely distributed from the "boosted is best" folks.

This thread didn't get enough arguments.
