    Ignoring natural immunity

    Ironically, when public health officials insisted that those who had
    natural immunity be fired for not being vaccinated, they fired those
    least likely to spread the infection in the workplace. Drs. Fauci and
    Rochelle Walensky never talked about natural immunity and instead
    created the imprecise construct of the vaccinated and the unvaccinated.
    In reality, most unvaccinated Americans have antibodies that
    neutralized the virus, but they are antibodies that the government did
    not recognize.

    Eventually the data came in. Natural immunity was 2.8 times better in preventing hospitalization than vaccinated immunity and having both
    meant you had the same protection as natural immunity alone.

    Because of Fauci's lies, people lost their jobs, soldiers were
    dishonorably discharged, and nurses that were badly needed were fired
    because they only had natural immunity, and refused to be vaccinated.

    dishonorably discharged, and nurses that were badly needed were fired
    because they only had natural immunity, and refused to be vaccinated.

    I'm no Biden fan, to put it politely, but I greatly admire Trump's
    Operation Warp Speed, and Trump or not, I am a fan of vaccines because
    they work -- not perfectly, but close to it. So, my wife and I are
    fully vaccinated and boosted.

    What bothers me is this claim of "Natural Immunity". Please explain
    HOW YOU KNOW you have natural immunity. Is it because you had the
    disease, were diagnosed and hospitalized -- or is it just a feeling? I
    have a feeling that in most cases it's just a "feeling". BTW if you
    think getting sick is more effective than being vaccinated, you would
    be wrong.

    "Yes, the COVID-19 vaccines are recommended, even if you had COVID-19.
    At present, evidence from Johns Hopkins Medicine and the U.S. Centers
    for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) supports getting a COVID-19
    vaccine as the best protection against getting COVID-19, whether you
    have already had the virus or not." https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseases/coronavirus/covid-natural-immunity-what-you-need-to-know

    HAVE YOU BEEN VACCINATED?

    BTW -- If you ever had Chicken Pox as a kid I strongly recommend
    Shingrix vaccine. The Shingles are no fun -- you can be left
    permanently in pain or even blinded.

    I agree more leeway should have been given to those already infected
    (although getting a vaccine on top of natural immunity enhances
    protection, both wane so boosters make a big difference, and no one
    should seek out natural immunity rather than getting vaccinated). But,
    you are kidding yourself if you think that only, or even most, people
    who refused to get vaccinated had natural immunity. As Jeff said, how do
    you even know unless you have been diagnosed?

    As this article details
    (https://www.thebulwark.com/two-years-of-covidiocy), while those on the
    left have made mistakes (and your article mostly fairly chronicles
    them), the mistakes on the right have been far worse. Lead among them are:

    1) COVID is no worse than the flu.

    2) Don't get vaccinated.

    3) COVID was created to (pick your conspiracy theory).

    I have a niece who literally faints when a hypodermic needle is
    inserted. Back in the day a friend was in line as part of a Navy
    enlistment process. They stuck a needle in the arm of a guy ahead of
    him in line, a big guy, and he literally fell on the floor writhing
    around in some sort of seizure. Apparently not that unusual:

    "It is estimated that at least 10% of American adults have a fear of
    needles, and it is likely that the actual number is larger, as the
    most severe cases are never documented due to the tendency of the
    sufferer to avoid all medical treatment." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fear_of_needles

    Care to comment, Johnny? BTW, are you vaccinated??

    among them are:

    1) COVID is no worse than the flu.

    How does anyone know if it was worse than the flu? There is a big
    difference between a person dying from the virus, and a person dying
    with the virus.

    The tests were wrong half the time. When people were tested after they
    died and were found to have the virus, the cause of death was listed as COVID-19. It didn't matter if the person was decapitated in car
    accident, if they tested positive for the virus, the virus was the
    cause of death. You tell me how any doctor doing an autopsy on a
    decapitated person, can list the cause of death as COVID virus. Then
    tell my why he did it.


    2) Don't get vaccinated.

    I don't think any rational person said don't get vaccinated.


    3) COVID was created to (pick your conspiracy theory).

    Wasn't it created? Did it just jump from bats to humans?

    If a person did eat an infected bat, wouldn't just that one person have
    the virus? How did the virus become airborne?

    The vaccine is not even close to perfect. Haven't you been reading

    Sen. Rand Paul told Newsmax Thursday that he's glad Democrats are
    starting to recognize the importance of recognizing natural immunity in
    the fight against COVID-19, but it's "two years late."

    "Look, 78 million people have gotten the infection, but if you do
    testing of random antibodies, you find out how many people were
    infected. There's at least two more for every one or another 140
    million, [so] about 200 million Americans have gotten this,...

    https://www.newsmax.com/politics/rand-paul-covid-natural-immunity/2022/02/10/id/1056339/

    I think the doctors writing these stories are confusing people by
    calling it natural immunity. I remember from 7th grade science class
    that there are two types of immunity, natural and acquired. Natural
    immunity is passed on from mother to child at birth, then there is
    acquired immunity that come from being vaccinated, or from having and
    illness and recovering from it.


    "Yes, the COVID-19 vaccines are recommended, even if you had COVID-19.
    At present, evidence from Johns Hopkins Medicine and the U.S. Centers
    for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) supports getting a COVID-19

    have already had the virus or not." https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseases/coronavirus/covid-natural-immunity-what-you-need-to-know

    HAVE YOU BEEN VACCINATED?

    No. That was my choice, and I believe I said the same thing two years
    ago. I knew then the symptoms of the virus were mild to non existent.
    My wife is fully vaccinated, that was her choice.

    The only people that needed the vaccine were old people in poor health,
    and people with immune system disorders. People in good health did not
    need the vaccine.

    What I want to know is why do you care if I'm vaccinated? From the
    article I posted: "they fired those least likely to spread the
    infection in the workplace."

    If you do get the virus it will probably be from some fully vaccinated
    person.


    BTW -- If you ever had Chicken Pox as a kid I strongly recommend
    Shingrix vaccine. The Shingles are no fun -- you can be left
    permanently in pain or even blinded.

    I think the doctors writing these stories are confusing people by
    calling it natural immunity. I remember from 7th grade science class
    that there are two types of immunity, natural and acquired. Natural
    immunity is passed on from mother to child at birth, then there is
    acquired immunity that come from being vaccinated, or from having and
    illness and recovering from it.


    "Yes, the COVID-19 vaccines are recommended, even if you had COVID-19.
    At present, evidence from Johns Hopkins Medicine and the U.S. Centers
    for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) supports getting a COVID-19
    vaccine as the best protection against getting COVID-19, whether you
    have already had the virus or not."
    https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseases/coronavirus/covid-natural-immunity-what-you-need-to-know

    HAVE YOU BEEN VACCINATED?

    No. That was my choice, and I believe I said the same thing two years
    ago. I knew then the symptoms of the virus were mild to non existent.
    My wife is fully vaccinated, that was her choice.

    The only people that needed the vaccine were old people in poor health,
    and people with immune system disorders. People in good health did not
    need the vaccine.

    We needed everyone to get vaccinated to reduce the spread of COVID
    (prior to Omicron, the vaccinated were much less likely to spread COVID
    than the never-infected, unvaccinated) and perhaps even reach herd
    immunity. Too late now.

    What I want to know is why do you care if I'm vaccinated? From the
    article I posted: "they fired those least likely to spread the
    infection in the workplace."

    That's only the already-infected. You again make the mistake of assuming
    the unvaccinated have been infected.

    If you do get the virus it will probably be from some fully vaccinated person.


    BTW -- If you ever had Chicken Pox as a kid I strongly recommend
    Shingrix vaccine. The Shingles are no fun -- you can be left
    permanently in pain or even blinded.

    Cut!

    Ignoring natural immunity

    Ironically, when public health officials insisted that those who
    had natural immunity be fired for not being vaccinated, they
    fired those least likely to spread the infection in the
    workplace. Drs. Fauci and Rochelle Walensky never talked about
    natural immunity and instead created the imprecise construct of
    the vaccinated and the unvaccinated. In reality, most
    unvaccinated Americans have antibodies that neutralized the
    virus, but they are antibodies that the government did not
    recognize.

    Eventually the data came in. Natural immunity was 2.8 times better
    in preventing hospitalization than vaccinated immunity and having
    both meant you had the same protection as natural immunity alone.

    https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/10-biggest-covid-mistakes-americans-apology-dr-marty-makary

    Because of Fauci's lies, people lost their jobs, soldiers were
    dishonorably discharged, and nurses that were badly needed were
    fired because they only had natural immunity, and refused to be
    vaccinated.

    I agree more leeway should have been given to those already
    infected (although getting a vaccine on top of natural immunity
    enhances protection, both wane so boosters make a big difference,
    and no one should seek out natural immunity rather than getting
    vaccinated). But, you are kidding yourself if you think that only,
    or even most, people who refused to get vaccinated had natural
    immunity. As Jeff said, how do you even know unless you have been
    diagnosed?

    As this article details
    (https://www.thebulwark.com/two-years-of-covidiocy), while those on
    the left have made mistakes (and your article mostly fairly
    chronicles them), the mistakes on the right have been far worse.
    Lead among them are:

    1) COVID is no worse than the flu.

    How does anyone know if it was worse than the flu? There is a big
    difference between a person dying from the virus, and a person dying
    with the virus.

    The tests were wrong half the time. When people were tested after
    they died and were found to have the virus, the cause of death was
    listed as COVID-19. It didn't matter if the person was decapitated
    in car accident, if they tested positive for the virus, the virus
    was the cause of death. You tell me how any doctor doing an
    autopsy on a decapitated person, can list the cause of death as
    COVID virus. Then tell my why he did it.

    This is exactly the crap - made up out of whole cloth - that many on
    the right have promulgated.

    It's not crap, it's a fact.

    2) Don't get vaccinated.

    I don't think any rational person said don't get vaccinated.

    There are oodles of famous people who have made a public stance that
    they won't get vaccinated because the vaccine is not safe or
    effective. That's the equivalent of saying to others, don't get
    vaccinated.

    3) COVID was created to (pick your conspiracy theory).

    Wasn't it created? Did it just jump from bats to humans?

    If a person did eat an infected bat, wouldn't just that one person
    have the virus? How did the virus become airborne?

    FFS.

    The tests aren't wrong 50% of the time.

    When a person's death is obviously not caused by the virus, like a car accident, a stroke, or a heart attack, and the death certificates list

    Firstly, even if true, it's still a conspiracy that COVID was engineered
    or lied about to get Biden elected.

    Secondly, if it is true, it is almost certainly because more people cast legitimate votes (27 million more votes were cast in 2020 than 2016).
    That's a good thing for a democracy. The counter position that enough
    mail-in fraud occurred to change the outcome is unpolluted by evidence.

    Nonsense! Pre-Biden Everyone realized that COVID-19 was a huge
    problem. That was not fake, it was a reality. Trump's problem was
    Democrats not believing in his brilliant Operation Warp Speed, a plan
    that probably saved millions of lives.

    Trump put at least $1.6 billion in Operation Warp Speed -- a plan that Democrats claimed would not work -- a plan that would NOT save us from COVID-19.

    I just gave you proof.


    Can't you see the Democrats have used this virus for their benefit?
    All this inaccurate information about the virus put Biden in office
    by changing the voting rules.

    Nonsense! Pre-Biden Everyone realized that COVID-19 was a huge
    problem. That was not fake, it was a reality. Trump's problem was
    Democrats not believing in his brilliant Operation Warp Speed, a plan
    that probably saved millions of lives.

    Nonsense? You say it's nonsense that changing the voting rules to
    allow mail in voting didn't put Biden in office?


    Trump put at least $1.6 billion in Operation Warp Speed -- a plan that Democrats claimed would not work -- a plan that would NOT save us from COVID-19.

    I voted for Trump twice, because I supported his policies, but after
    his Jan 6 performance I doubt I would do it again. Mike Pence would
    probably agree with me on that.

    To me it's logical the number of deaths attributed to the virus
    can't be accurate when the tests are wrong fifty percent of the
    time.

    Is that a loon theory, or a fact?

    The tests aren't wrong 50% of the time.

    When a person's death is obviously not caused by the virus, like
    a car accident, a stroke, or a heart attack, and the death
    certificates list the cause of death as COVID-19, then the death
    count can't be accurate.

    There is no evidence that the cause of death is being listed as
    COVID in such cases to anything more than anecdotes.

    Of course there is, you just won't look for it.


    Alameda County, California, is in hot water for miscounting their >coronavirus death toll, and other local health departments should
    take note.

    The county recorded 1,634 deaths, which was adjusted by a shocking 25 >percent to 1,223 deaths.

    The wildly inaccurate numbers result from the broad definition used
    by the county, which counted the death as coronavirus related if
    there was a positive test result taken at the time of death.

    Now for the question I asked Josh. Why would a doctor falsify a
    death certificate, when he knew a person died in a car wreck, and
    the virus was not the cause of death?

    He doesn't. That's your conspiracy theory articulated below. And
    Jeff, it's right up there with the conspiracy theories that Trump
    won because of fraud.

    Biden won because of mail in voting, caused by the virus.


    Can't you see the Democrats have used this virus for their
    benefit? All this inaccurate information about the virus put
    Biden in office by changing the voting rules.

    Should Pence have proclaimed that to be true, changed the Electoral
    College ballot count, and proclaimed Trump to be the President?

    You know that's not how our laws work.

    The Democrats started that lie of Trump refusing to leave office, and
    you fell for it.

    Trump was asked at a press conference if he would voluntarily leave
    office. He said of course I will.

    Yes I do, Just making sure that you do, although I would go a bit
    further than the law and say that's how our Constitution works.

    The Democrats started that lie of Trump refusing to leave office, and
    you fell for it.

    Nonsense. I "fell for" Trump's claim that because of what Trump said
    was extensive election fraud Pence had a right to overturn the
    election. This so angered Pence that they are apparently no longer on
    speaking terms.

    Trump was asked at a press conference if he would voluntarily leave
    office. He said of course I will.

    That is not what this is about. It's about Trump's claim that Pence
    should have invalidated the election -- and the Trump/Pence dispute
    that ensued. Here is a video proving Trump's outrageous claim that
    Pence could and should invalidate the election. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/pence-defending-actions-jan-rebukes-trump-wrong/story?id=82679131&msclkid=1cc076a6a6eb11ecb50fb5f3edee797e

    Don't believe me? Don't trust ABC? Fake video? Here is a summary of
    the Trump/Pence dispute on FoxNews -- my favorite TV news channel.

    "Former President Trump responded Friday night, hours after former
    Vice President Mike Pence said in a speech that he rejected the idea
    that he could have used his power on Jan. 6, 2021, to overturn the
    2020 presidential election results.
    Just saw Mike Pence’s statement on the fact that he had no right to do
    anything with respect to the Electoral Vote Count, other than being an automatic conveyor belt for the Old Crow Mitch McConnell to get Biden
    elected President as quickly as possible," Trump wrote in an official statement.
    Trump argued that if "obvious signs of voter fraud or irregularities
    exist" Pence could have done something about it.
    In a speech in Florida earlier in the day, Pence said Trump was
    "wrong" when the former president claimed recently that Pence could
    have "unilaterally" changed the results.
    FORMER VP MIKE PENCE REJECTS TRUMP CLAIM HE COULD HAVE INTERVENED IN
    2020 ELECTION, CALLS IT ‘UN-AMERICAN’
    Pence’s comments came days after Trump voiced his belief that, via the Electoral Count Act, Pence had the ability to send the electoral votes
    back to the states." https://www.foxnews.com/politics/trump-responds-pence-overturn-election

    "1 in 5 COVID-19 Tests Give False-Negative Results, Studies Find"
    https://www.verywellhealth.com/covid-19-rtpcr-tests-false-negative-results-5073062
    Please note that false tests are false because they fail to detect the
    virus -- NOT because they detect an infection that does not exist. As
    the disease progresses the test becomes increasingly accurate. False
    positive tests which fail to disclose a genuine COVID infection would
    understate the number of COVID deaths.
    Source -- John Hopkins

    It makes no difference why the tests were wrong. If what they say is
    true how do you explain Elon Musk taking four identical tests in one
    day, and two were positive, and two were negative. It's very obvious
    the tests were defective.


    When a person's death is obviously not caused by the virus, like a
    car accident, a stroke, or a heart attack, and the death
    certificates list the cause of death as COVID-19, then the death
    count can't be accurate.

    Is that another loon theory?

    Obviously Loon unless you can prove it is or was a common occurrence
    -- See above. Where's your proof from an impartial source?

    You don't up with the conversation, I gave an example of an impartial
    source to Josh. It depends on each county's way of classifying deaths.

    No matter what the rules of a county, a doctor should not sign a death >certificate that has the wrong cause of death.


    Now for the question I asked Josh. Why would a doctor falsify a
    death certificate, when he knew a person died in a car wreck, and
    the virus was not the cause of death?

    Where's your PROOF!!!

    I just gave you proof.

    No you did not! Once again, John Hopkins showed us that the COVID
    test accuracy problem was with FALSE NEGATIVES -- an inability of the
    test to detect PRESENCE OF THE DISEASE in its early stages. Look at
    the link -- accuracy was up to 80% by the 8th day of disease. False
    negatives followed by obvious disease progression, might well lead a
    doctor to legitimately conclude that death was a product of COVID.

    Can't you see the Democrats have used this virus for their benefit?
    All this inaccurate information about the virus put Biden in office

    Nonsense! Pre-Biden Everyone realized that COVID-19 was a huge

    Nonsense? You say it's nonsense that changing the voting rules to

    Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. As I said I voted for Trump in
    both elections. IMHO he lost because his non-politician, non
    presidential populist personality made him seem like a loose cannon to
    some in the middle, and there could very well have been vote tampering
    on the part of Democrats -- I believe there always is, but some phony
    death certificate scheme got Biden elected -- TOTAL NONSENSE!

    Trump put at least $1.6 billion in Operation Warp Speed -- a plan that
    Democrats claimed would not work -- a plan that would NOT save us from
