> "got natural immunity which is superior" is factually incorrect, at least to every statistical study done by national health orgs.

Natural immunity of an unvaccinated person is superior to a vaccinated person without natural immunity, all else equal, and the difference isn't even close. It concerns me that people still don't accept this.

See https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.08.24.21262415v... for conclusive proof of this. I don't have my notes on that study in front of me right now but off the top of my head natural immunity was at least 7x superior when compared to people who were double-vaccinated but with no exposure to the actual virus.



Non peer-reviewed preprint from August 2021.

Meanwhile we have the CDC showing that:

- previous COVID exposure + no vaccination is 3x smaller incidence than vaccination without covid exposure

BUT

- previous COVID exposure + vaccination is 2x smaller incidence than without vaccination

arguing that "I got exposed to Covid so the vaccine is not useful for me" is factually incorrect. I had not been clear enough in my objection. So protesting vax mandates have even one less leg to stand on.

(at least here: https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/71/wr/mm7104e1.htm?s_cid=mm...).
