Unvaccinated People Likely to Catch COVID Repeatedly

I love irony! Time will tell on whether it becomes a factor.

IF it is a factor that turns elections, $20 says the Trumpers will scream for even more restrictions.

This is a bunch of malarkey. You are more protected having caught the virus than being vaccinated against it. :palm:

Lasting immunity found after recovery from COVID-19

After people recover from infection with a virus, the immune system retains a memory of it. Immune cells and proteins that circulate in the body can recognize and kill the pathogen if it’s encountered again, protecting against disease and reducing illness severity.

This long-term immune protection involves several components. Antibodies—proteins that circulate in the blood—recognize foreign substances like viruses and neutralize them. Different types of T cells help recognize and kill pathogens. B cells make new antibodies when the body needs them.

All of these immune-system components have been found in people who recover from SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. But the details of this immune response and how long it lasts after infection have been unclear. Scattered reports of reinfection with SARS-CoV-2 have raised concerns that the immune response to the virus might not be durable.

It does. We got our boosters at Meijer pharmacy last week. We were talking about vaccine reluctance with the pharmacy tech. He said they had a large jump in vaccine appts. once the Pfizer was officially authorized. He said that he believed it was because of its prior "experimental" status and once that was removed, they got the vaccine. Overall, for ages 12 through adult, our vax rate is ~60%.

How many boosters do you need to receive before the vaccine FINALLY "works"??

It's accurate and irrefutable.
