STORY AT-A-GLANCE
Natural COVID-19 immunity — the type earned by recovering from infection — is not only
effective but lasts longer than the immunity that’s acquired from COVID-19 shots
Two doses of Pfizer’s COVID-19 shots (BNT162b2) offered only “negligible” protection
against symptomatic BA.2 (an omicron subvariant) infection
In contrast, previous infection was 46.1% effective against symptomatic BA.2 infection
Previous infection (natural immunity) was 54.9% effective against symptomatic omicron
infection after more than 12 months, while three doses of Pfizer’s COVID-19 shot was
only 44.7% effective a month later
Rather than admitting defeat, health officials and Big Pharma have committed to a
seemingly never-ending rollout of boosters — and now “updated boosters” coming out in
Fall 2022
Vaccine mandates still exist, including for many health care workers who may be
terminated form their jobs if they refuse; it’s outrageous that natural immunity is still
being ignored in these cases
