Confirmed: Infection Is Protection

Because readers will have most likely seen this story elsewhere yesterday—it turned up in the NYT and at AP among other MSM outlets—I thought I should briefly note it. It’s not news—it’s “settled science” of the really sort. Infection leads to protection against reinfection. And you can count on two things: CDC has known this all along. The real question is, Who among our Rulers didn’t understand this? I find this impossible to accept.

By the way, Julius Ruechel makes a closely related point in his latest long exposition:

The False God of Central Planning: The Mysterious Reappearance of the Flu, Natural vs Vaccine-Induced Immunity, the Inability of the Vaccines to Control the Virus, and Other Extraordinary Lessons About the End of the Pandemic

You can get an idea just from the title just how long the article is—Ruechel bills it as “Investigative Reporting” and it’s one of his usual tours de force. However, he provides a handy summary, the main takeaway from which is simply this: Exposure to Covid and consequent development of highly effective immunity—without developing the disease—was far more widespread than our Establishment wanted us to know:

Underestimating How Many People Were Exposed to SARS-CoV-2

Throughout the pandemic, our public health officials and media have kept everyone's eyeballs fixated on PCR "cases, cases, cases". While generating a lot of fear, this fixation on "cases" has actually kept everyone distracted from the results of antibody testing, which have consistently revealed that the virus was far far more widespread (and therefore also far less dangerous) than what PCR tests would have us believe. Orders of magnitude more widespread. More than enough to interrupt the transmission cycles of other respiratory viruses through viral interference.

... In other words, even if we disregard the massive false positive rates of PCR tests when testing asymptomatic people, PCR "case" numbers only accounted for approximately 5 percent of people who developed antibodies against the SARS-CoV-2 virus (both antibody tests and population-wide surveys done at blood donor clinics have all consistently confirmed that actual infections far exceed the number of "cases" recorded by PCR tests). ...

…

Before I move on to the next section of this essay, let me briefly summarize the key takeaways … 

• The SARS-CoV-2 virus was far more widespread than "case" numbers would have us believe, ...

• And because the SARS-CoV-2 virus was a relatively unfamiliar virus to our immune systems, it triggered a very strong immune response in our innate mucosal immune systems. Combined with a very large number of infections, this enabled SARS-CoV-2 to hang on to its role as the dominant virus for a very long time as it interrupted the normal annual merry-go-round of alternating viral interference cycles in other seasonal respiratory viruses for almost two full years.

• But — and this point is very important as we start to dig into the lessons offered by countries where the flu is returning — once our immune systems have some exposure to a new virus, our adaptive immune system will do more of the heavy lifting during subsequent re-infections, which means that our innate non-specific immune system will not be as strongly stimulated during future re-infections as during the initial exposure. When this tipping point happens, SARS-CoV-2 becomes just another virus, forced to compete for a time slot in the annual viral displacement merry-go-round. Unless it dies out altogether (unlikely), that's the moment it becomes an endemic virus, joining its four other coronavirus peers in causing colds and flus each season. Just another old man's friend. Thus, the return of the flu marks a pivotal tipping point in the evolving Covid pandemic. It is signalling a return to business as usual.

We’ve been discussing the very obvious scrambling of the Establishment to devise a Covid Regime exit strategy in the last few weeks. There are even rumblings of this in Europe and Israel.

So with all that in mind, I’ll quote from Karl Denninger this morning, rather than linking to the AP article he’s quoting from. Read this closely, because it strongly implies exactly what Ruechel was saying earlier this week—if infection rates among the unvaxxed, the pure bloods, was so much lower for such a widely prevalent respiratory virus, that can only mean that those unvaxxed actually had been exposed to the virus:

During the Delta wave of *****....

Prior infection, *******s provide best protection from *****

In that order.

And it wasn't close either.

By early October, compared with unvaccinated people who didn’t have a prior infection, case rates were:

— 6-fold lower in California and 4.5-fold lower in New York in those who were vaccinated but not previously infected.

— 29-fold lower in California and 15-fold lower in New York in those who had been infected but never vaccinated.

— 32.5-fold lower in California and 20-fold lower in New York in those who had been infected and vaccinated.

So being infected and recovered was anywhere from three to nearly five times as protective as being "vaccinated."

There was no statistically-significant improvement if "vaccinated" after infection.

…

What's even worse for the jabs is that when Delta hit there were no jabs more than six months old, approximately, yet there were many infections that occurred more than a year prior.  Therefore being infected was not only three to five times as protective it was protective over a much longer period as well!

So if you were infected and then talked into or even coerced or forced into taking the jabs you were conned.  You got statistically nothing out of that jab of value but you took risk -- maybe very serious risk and permanent harm.

This isn't my claim or data this is the CDC's data.

There you have it. I will add that I have donated blood close to 50x. Very early on during the “pandemic” donors were told that their blood would be tested for Covid antibodies as part of the response plan—to find out how widespread the virus was. Very sensible. But that was about the time that the donor service—a very large one—shut down access to previously routinely accessible information regarding your basic blood profile. So, nobody was informed of their Covid antibody status. A big secret. But the Establishment has been sitting on this information for a helluva long time. One presumes—certainly this one does—that what’s going on now reflects the Establishment realization that they can’t hide the reality of Covid, and maintain the Covid Regime, much longer. Thus the scramble for the exit strategy.
