Thank you for summarizing these studies for us! 🙌 I hope people will choose to be vaccinated and help be part of ending the pandemic. I'm very hopeful that we can get a vaccine for our 11 year old in the next week too.
Thank you for this article! I'm a long-time reader, new subscriber :) From the CDC research that you cited on natural immunity, I'm not understanding the section of the table that is labeled "Time since either previous SARS-CoV-2 infection or full mRNA vaccination until COVID-19–like illness index test date, days". For unvaccinated with a COVID infection it shows 367 (36) and for vaccinated with no infection it shows 3,325 (53). It obviously not possible that the vaccinated group were vaccinated 3,325 days ago so I'm confused. Can you explain what that part of the chart is saying? Thank you!
I can't find a lot of information about if you had Covid and then also got vaccinated - that hybrid immunity you mentioned. Are scientists still recommending a booster? Is there any info on it that you can recommend? I had some weird blood pressure things that happened after the vaccine and trying to find science on getting the booster now.
This is timely, thank you! From what I've read here, and on Your Local Ep. substack, I understand that natural infection does not indicate a consistent level of immunity so vaccination is recommended regardless (right?). There are concerns raised where I live about the severity of mRNA vaccine side effects for people who have already had covid. I know these are preprints, but what are your thoughts on this? https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.04.15.21252192v1; https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.02.26.21252096v1
