This paper, published in the Reviews of Medical Virology, confirms what most of us have known since the beginning of the pandemic: a natural infection provides lasting protection, far better than any vaccine. Researchers found a median re-infection rate of just 0.27%, 10 months post-infection. None of the current mRNA vaccines can replicate anything close to that level of protection. And yet we’ve had to endure a years’ worth of denialism regarding natural immunity. This was of course done in order to fool the masses into receiving a suspect inoculation with unknown long-term results. But the pandemic is over precisely due to this durable natural immunity, not the vaccines. But the superiority of natural immunity makes sense. After all, we co-evolved with coronaviruses. Nature has designed our immune systems for just such infections.
