Robert Malone tweets out the link to the original study as well as a link to a CNN article that provides a nice summary in normal English:
Natural immunity works. Not perfectly, but it works. Better than the vaccines work.

And just to be perfectly clear, from CNN:
When people got reinfected with Covid-19, their odds of ending up in the hospital or dying were 90% lower than an initial Covid-19 infection, according to a new study.
The study published Wednesday in the New England Journal of Medicine found that there were few confirmed reinfections among 353,326 people who got Covid-19 in Qatar, and the re-infections were rare and generally mild.
...
To determine how many people got reinfected, scientists from Weill Cornell Medicine-Qatar compared the records of people with PCR-confirmed infections between February of 2020 and April 2021. They excluded 87,547 people who got the vaccine.
Researchers found that among the remaining cases there were 1,304 reinfections. The median time between the first illness and reinfection was about 9 months.
Among those with reinfections, there were only four cases severe enough that they had to go to the hospital. There were no cases where people were sick enough that they needed to be treated in the intensive care unit. Among the initial cases, 28 were considered critical. There were no deaths among the reinfected group, while there were seven deaths in the initial infections.
"When you have only 1,300 reinfections among that many people, and four cases of severe disease, that's pretty remarkable," said John Alcorn, an expert in immunology and a professor of pediatrics at the University of Pittsburgh who was not affiliated with this study.
The article goes on with any number of caveats, but the bottom line of Alcorn remains: Only 1,300 reinfections of a respiratory virus among an unvaxxed population of 353,326, with virtually all of those rare cases being mild. That’s remarkable, and what’s even more remarkable is the concerted attempt to ignore the natural immunity that develops with exposure.
I notice the lede on the CNN story says "Dr. Leana Wen explains why the herd immunity approach won't work." Now I have to read the article to find out where she goes with that...
If the current data in Qatar keeps pace like it has in India, Africa and other places not using the vaccine we'll soon see whole continents and regions of the world, not just countries scrubbed from the internet.
The narrative and information control in this is impressive!!! What I wouldn't give to be a fly in the wall of the actual motive conversations. It's got to be biblical.
