UPDATED: Briefly Noted: Natural Immunity
You may have noticed a flurry of articles recently alleging that Vax immunity is superior to natural immunity. This is likely part of the pro-vax propaganda push. Dr. Robert Malone assembles informed response comments:
The WHO just posted this on facebook. The WHO cite no peer reviewed papers, data or evidence. I am providing the FB link also. https://t.co/IH18bipeEjpic.twitter.com/mhRjSmGCNy

Washington U in St Louis, the Cleveland Clinic, Rockefeller U, Emory U and just yesterday CSH, BMJ and Yale have studies that lead to the opposite conclusion. Recovery from Covid confers broader and more durable protection. The WHO post is misinformation.

The height of absurdity was when they asked us to believe that a synthetically generated “piece” of the virus could somehow trigger “better” immunity than exposure to the entire thing. Israel reaches a slightly different conclusion:https://t.co/tIPQQfLV6l

Here we're nothing if not fair and balanced, so if you prefer to get your views from sports coaches:

UPDATE: Imagine what Ron Rivera would say about the likes of Alex Berenson. Then again, imagine Berenson caring (h/t Mikeyinfl). Vietnam vets/history buffs are free to weigh in:
It's a good day for Vietnam analogies
Welcome to the Tet Offensive phase of The War on Covid
...
This spring, Israel’s experience seemed to validate the success of the vaccines. Now it’s a cautionary tale, ...
Unfortunately since then the data has gotten much worse.
The number of serious cases has risen almost 30-fold since late June. Roughly 60 percent of those people are fully vaccinated.
Yet the vaccine fanatics refuse to admit the depth of Israeli the crisis. Instead they continue to point out that per-person rates of serious illness are higher in the unvaccinated elderly.
They are correct, but they’re leaving out a key fact. Over 90 percent of Israelis over 70 have been vaccinated, suggesting that many of the remainder have not received vaccinations because they are too frail to do so. ...
Thus the relative numbers matter much less than the absolute numbers and trend. And the absolute trend is awful.
...
The researchers examined Pfizer vaccine-generated antibodies in more than 200 people and found that on average they fell to undetectable levels about 6.5 months after the first shot - or roughly five after they reach full vaccination.
In other words, the Israel failure is happening right on schedule. Vaccine protection lasts months, not years. (Four months, give or take, since protection is limited the first month and likely negative the first week or two.)
Thus Bennett’s desperate call for a third shot. But although the booster does seem to produce new antibodies, neither the Israeli government nor Pfizer nor anyone else can know whether it will reduce infections or deaths, either temporarily or permanently. NO ONE HAS CONDUCTED ANY CLINICAL TRIALS TO DETECT THESE ENDPOINTS OR TO EXAMINE THIRD SHOT SIDE-EFFECTS IN ANY DETAIL. (I looked at this issue last week in a different Substack.)
...
Covid has now reached its Tet moment. Anyone looking hard at the data can see the stark limits of the vaccines. Unfortunately, that group includes very few journalists. Almost no one yesterday pointed out what Bennett was really saying.
And of course our governments appear committed to this course and cannot admit the truth.
What’s going to make them? And how long will it take?
