The High Cost of Disparaging Natural Immunity to Covid

[Cuddles]

Seeing that 90% of those in the ICUs are still the unvaccinated and many of them have been previously infected with Covid prior to Omicron -- it does not seem that prior infection is providing all that much protection in reducing the severity of your Omicron -- but the jury and science (studies, etc.) are still out on this particular point. Time will tell.

See, what is this "many"? Where is your source other than your ass?

What are you trying to claim now? That 90% of the people in ICUs in recent weeks with Omicron are not vaccinated? This has been widely documented. Seeing that 2/3 of those being hospitalized have had Covid previously -- the math clearly not looking good for the anti-vaxxers having any reduction in severity of Omicron based on previous infection with a earlier variant such as Delta. I will to give it time for studies to be completed and come out with the documentary evidence -- but as noted by health officials it's not looking good for "natural immunity" in the recent weeks.

The sun? NYpost? Your point? Isn't MRNA vax only like 30% effective against omicron infection?. Reinfection is irrelevant, it's the severity that matters at this point

Well 30% effectiveness is better than natural immunity's zero percent effectiveness in regards to infection. Seeing that 90% of those in the ICUs are still the unvaccinated and many of them have been previously infected with Covid prior to Omicron -- it does not seem that prior infection is providing all that much protection in reducing the severity of your Omicron -- but the jury and science (studies, etc.) are still out on this particular point. Time will tell.

Two-thirds with Omicron say they have had Covid before

here's where your math falls apart:

You gave a source for 66% reinfection after a prior COVID infection....going by the title (because I sure as hell am not going to read a tabloid), it says nothing of this 66% being hospitalizations. So where do you go from 2/3 reinfections to 2/3 hospitalizations?

Do us all a favor, you need to be as discriminant of sources that oppose your viewpoint as those that support it. If you're going to go by a headline of a disreputable outlet, just cite the study and/or its abstract instead. Reputable outlets already draw narratives by omission, we don't need tabloids that are one step short of opinion pieces telling us outlandish shit.

Go read the BBC article. Is the BBC suddenly a tabloid. Plenty of other sources as well including the government data.

you only quoted the sun and nypost, now ic your post edit

ok, read it; no stat whatsoever to claim "many hospitalizations"
