NFT: super immunity from COVID-19

[brownelvis54]

Very interesting articles. Full vaccination against COVID-19 and a breakthrough infection builds 'super immunity,' study finds. ...



COVID-19 death rates across South Africa also have fallen precipitously despite the Omicron wave. If there is no massive surge in hospitalizations or deaths in the next two to three weeks, that

A lot of interesting info out there if you turn off main stream media and do the research.

Medical experts at NIH, Harvard, etc., are saying that Omicron will affect the vaccinated versus unvaccinated very differently with the former being much less likely to get it and if they get it, for it to be most likely very, very mild whereas the latter have a much higher risk of getting it and if they get it, of having much more serious effects from it.

Is the point of this message to just let it run rampant because it is milder than Delta and will lead to more herd immunity?  If that's the message, the research experts are saying it will lead to more serious cases for those who have not yet been vaccinated.

The result will be two different outcomes for different pools of the population.

I can tell you a few things, based on what I am seeing, hearing, and reading.

1)  NJ is blowing up with cases.  It came on like a sudden storm over the past few days

2)  If you are not boosted you are not vaccinated.   If you want to be protected from Omicron you need a booster shot.

Be careful out there.  I had a coworker who lost a friend (a woman in her 30s who was vaccinated without medical issues to a Covid induced blood clot), so don't think that Covid isn't dangerous.  The poor woman had young kids so it was just a terrible story to hear.

The hope in a world full of anti-vaxxers was that the virus would mutate into something harmless.

Well that won't be the case.  I think more herd immunity will be created, however, it will come at their expense based on what medical research institutions are saying about the virus' effect on the unvaccinated.  That's their choice.

NY has one of the highest vaccination rate in the country.  And despite having the most cases daily since the start of the pandemic hospitalizations are almost 5,000 patients less than they were in January.  That
