This article points out why Natural Immunity is accepted though-out the world and makes one wonder why they are still pushing for 100% (mRNA) vaccinations in North America.
I have been questioning since day one...why isn't natural immunity even been considered as part of Herd Immunity
Quote:
Yet a number of recent studies — some that suggest prior COVID-19 infection can provide significant immunity and others that suggest vaccination is much more effective — have triggered discussion within the scientific community about the strength of natural immunity.
And the problem with this current debate," she said, "is that to ignore natural immunity and say it isn't a thing is leading to a lot of distrust of public health officials."

What goes beyond the bounds of legitimate debate, say many scientists, is the idea being suggested by some other scientists that acquired immunity from infection should be considered as effective or better than vaccination.
Quote:
Acquired immunity is the protection that a person develops to a disease after being infected. Canada's federal government and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention do not count previous infection as part of an individual's vaccination status. They require a person to have received two doses of an approved vaccine to be considered fully vaccinated.
But citizens in many European countries who have had the illness and received a single dose of vaccine are considered fully vaccinated. In Quebec, a single dose and previous infection is considered fully vaccinated in certain circumstances. And in Israel, a person who has recovered from COVID-19 is considered fully vaccinated without having received a shot of vaccine.

asked about natural immunity on CNN last month, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the top infectious disease expert in the U.S, said he couldn't provide a firm answer on the subject.
"That's something that we're going to have to discuss regarding the durability of the response," said Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)
Finally the truth....something that is being ignored by OUR Government....!!!

Matthew Memoli, director of NIAID's Laboratory of Infectious Diseases Clinical Studies Unit, told the BMJ, a U.K.-based peer-reviewed medical journal, that there probably isn't much difference between natural immunity and vaccination in terms of resistance to the spike protein — a crucial feature on the surface of the coronavirus that allows it to gain access to our cells.
Vaccines, he said, are focused only on that tiny portion of immunity that can be induced by neutralizing the spike while someone who has had COVID-19 was exposed to the whole virus, "which would likely offer a broader based immunity" that would be more protective against variants.,
Quote:
In a Washington Post column last month, Makary, a surgical oncologist, wrote that for far too long, public health officials have dismissed natural immunity as unreliable protection against COVID-19 — "a contention that is being rapidly debunked by science."
