Vaccination + infection = best immunity
But, it still might no be durable, or protect against the NEXT variant.
Quote:
If you’re vaccinated, an infection might not make you super sick, but don’t count on it making you super immune, either.
By Katherine J. Wu
January 5, 2022
...No combinations of vaccines or viruses can confer invulnerability to future tussles with SARS-CoV-2. Whether acquired from an injection or an infection, immunity will always work in degrees, not absolutes.
Immunity is, in many ways, a game of repetition. The more frequently, and more intensely, immune cells are exposed to a threat, the more resolutely they’ll commit to fighting it, and the longer they’ll store away any microbial information they glean. Time and viral mutations pare down those protections; vaccines and sickness build them back up. That’s part of why we almost always dose people with vaccines multiple times.
In the same vein, a single SARS-CoV-2 infection isn’t enough to keep someone safe long-term. But layered on top of vaccination, an infection can coax out “almost what you would call a boosted response,” Ai-ris Yonekura Collier, a physician and vaccine researcher at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, in Boston, told me.
Immunized bodies will reawaken veteran immune cells: Bs to spill out fresh virus-quashing antibodies and killer Ts to detonate infected cells. It’s a version of what some immunologists, including Shane Crotty of the La Jolla Institute for Immunology, in California, have been calling “hybrid immunity”—the one-two punch of infection and vaccination, one of the most comprehensive educations on the coronavirus that a person can reasonably get. ...
Post-vaccination infections might, in theory, influence immunity in ways our vaccines can’t. While nearly all of the world’s COVID vaccines center on SARS-CoV-2’s spike protein, fighting the actual virus gives the body more information about its anatomy.
Bona fide microbes can also draw airway-specific defenses to the nose and mouth, the virus’s natural point of entry—something in-the-arm injections aren’t great at doing. “If those are maintained, that’s what’s going to offer a lot of protection against subsequent infections,” Jennifer Gommerman, an immunologist at the University of Toronto, told me. (Gommerman also thinks that [o] vaccines spritzed up the nose might be a good move in the future.) And since our current vaccines are still based on an old, ancestral version of SARS-CoV-2, a post-vax collision with the highly mutated Omicron offers intel that’s more up-to-date. By rousing immune cells that haven’t responded to previous variants, an Omicron infection could effectively “broaden your immune response,” Rishi Goel, an immunologist at the University of Pennsylvania, told me.
The problem, though, is that none of this is assured, especially when factoring in the thorny variable of time. ...
A bevy of other factors, too, can influence the magnitude of protection that’s tickled out by a breakthrough: age and health status; vaccine brand, dosing, and timing; the genetic makeup of the variant. (Most people have no way of knowing for certain whether they caught Delta, Omicron, or another SARS-CoV-2 flavor.) And while each dose of a particular vaccine offers essentially identical amounts of immunity-titillating stuff, actual infections don’t serve up the same dose to every person they hit. “The amount of heterogeneity in people’s immune responses is just incredible,” Taia Wang, an immunologist at Stanford, told me. Some recently infected people might experience only a modest bump in protection—which might not be enough to meaningfully stave off another infection in the not-so-distant future.

So every now and then I wander over to Divoc-91 to see how things are going. For sure, the numbers aren't pristine because they're affected by thngs like the availability of tests and changes in policy on dying OF v dying WITH Covid. (But to be sure, since I knew ppl personally who died OF Covid, that certainly happened)
Anyway, the # of confirmed new cases of Covid reached its third (Omicron) peak at about 250 per 100,000 per day, compared to the previous (Delta) peak of about 50 per 100,000 per day. Confirmed new cases has since dropped off to about 10, altho it's hard to estimate such low numbers on that chart.
The number of (Omicron) deaths peaked at 0.8 per 100,000 per day, compared to the previous (Delta) peak of 0.65 per 100,000 per day.
You wuld think by now, after the Omicron variant has come and gone, there would be a definitive answer to whether Omicron protects against other variants, but a quick run-thru of online search results doesn't turn up a definitive answer. Unfortunately DuckDuck has recently gone the google route and is downranking (if not banning altogether) any sites it considers "misinformation".
There is a new variant out there called "Deltacron" which is a recombinant version of the two latest variants, but the word is that it appears to be mild, lie Omicron.

Just like when BLM and Antifa were burning down the cities and not being required to mask up while they do so, now we've got Russia dominating the headlines and nobody is thinking about Covid again.
This is all a game and we're all being played.
The "variants" were just a primer to much darker days ahead. I have no doubt that we're going to be subjected to fake pandemics the rest of our lives. Our government loves an obedient People, and what better way to ensure compliance than to recruit have of the People to police the other half.
For two full years they were all too happy to do it.

Look at that. Even CNN using the term "social experiment" now when referring to the overreaction of our "leaders" to Covid.

Quote:
Much of blue America, which kept schools remote or hybrid for the 2020-2021 school year, conducted an unprecedented "social experiment" on children, resorting to lengthy school closures for millions of children -- a tactic not used during other national emergencies or previous pandemics.
Now, the results are in from the "social experiment" and they are very, very bad, and the people who supported closures are finally ready to talk about it.
"Remote learning was a failure," wrote David Leonhardt of The New York Times, describing the consensus of researchers and the findings of a new study out of Harvard's Center for Education Policy Research, which compared pre-pandemic scores on a particular national test (MAP) in 49 states and Washington, DC, to pandemic-era scores in high- and low-income districts, in-person, hybrid and virtual learning.
Hmmmm... Where have we heard that term here before?
Oh right. Me.
I haven't managed to find the earliest point in time that I said the whole Covid thing was a grand social experiment, but I did find two instances so far where I said it, with the earliest one referencing that I had said it at least one time prior to that.

This Nazi fuck pretending to be Jewish, advisor to Nazi fuck Klaus Schwab, knows more about you than you know about yourself.
2 years of Covid being a grand social experiment, just as I said while he was going around talking about this, confirmed.
This explains Ted.

I know you didn't buy into the WMDs. That's why you're a fucking hypocrite now.
It's a grand social experiment. I said so since day one.
Mass hysteria, inflicted upon us by the Legacy Media.
You're a tool.
Shame on CNN for taking so long to admit it, and double shame on them for hiding it under one of their "Opinion" columns so they can keep their Lefitist audience happy at the same time.
But if you think the true results of what you did for two years are in yet, you've got another thing coming.
The 5 year old's and below are going to make Generation Zed look like the model of sane society after the psychological horror you inflicted on them during their prime developmental years.

SIX, just because they weaponized the Covid pandemic doesn't mean it didn't exist.
"Never let a good crisis go to waste" presumes there is one to begin with.
I realize that some "crises" (SADDAM WMD! TRUMP COLLUSION! ASSAD WAR CRIMES! RUSSIA WAR CRIMES!) are complete fabrications.
Others are exaggerated (SYSTEMIC RACISM! TRANSPHOBIA!)
Others are real, but the policy responses are malevolant (SARS, GLOBAL CLIMATE SHIFT)
And other crises??? (Border control, de-industrialization, warmongering, indebtedness, wholesale shredding of the Bill of Rights) ... well... *crickets*
But you have to be able to mentally separate the event from the (political) uses to which it is put. Denying a problem just because you don't like the response is just like being a Dem denying the border problem (for example) bc it doesn't fit their narrative.

Sigs... their numbers were complete fabrications. They're going around telling everyone yesterday that a million Americans have died of covid yesterday.
Complete and utter bullshit.
Nobody has died of the flu in the last two years. So, so many other deaths that were due to other causes were counted as Covid deaths.
My guess is that 200 people died of covid.
Worldwide.
And most American sheep as well as the sheep all around the world allowed them to do this to us.
Shame on nearly everyone.

I did hear news (surely verified by Ministry of Truth) that Sith Lord Darth Obiden is celebrating One Million Deaths from COVID.
We all know these are Deaths From Covid because they are called Covid Deaths. Surely anybody who believes that Information Technology is actually Technology can understand this simple fact.

They shouldn't have lied about a single case.
But they did.
And now there's no reason other than fear to believe anything they ever say about health again.
Ever.

This timeline has been obvious for almost 2 years, since the Meatpuppet was actually given the nomination.
