It would make sense if you had coronavirus you shouldn’t be first in line for the vaccine. This article suggest otherwise but they fail to note the probabilities and focus on fix cases to certainly scare one into jumping into line even though you already had it. They may be right but the way it is written there is not enough information to formulize a conclusion without using an emotional response. They note people who had it can catch it again – what is the % – I am sure we will see people with vaccine will get it again to hence efficacy not 100% Once again the article also makes it sound like taking a vaccine every year will be routine – wow that’s a lot $$$$ that never was needed until now. Someone(s) is making out big because of this virus. https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/does-the-vaccine-give-better-protection-than-having-fought-off-the-virus_uk_601c0663c5b62bf30754c563
“we know that coronavirus antibodies from natural infection can last for at least six months for the majority (88%) of people who have had the virus.
Researchers say the results indicate antibodies produced following natural infection may “provide a degree of protection for most people”. However UK Biobank chief scientist, Professor Naomi Allen, says we can’t be certain how having these antibodies relates to immunity.”
“Vaccines, on the other hand, are believed to induce stronger and longer lasting immunity.”
“While most presume that the second time around you’d get an easier ride, one 25-year-old man from Nevada was infected with two variants of the virus within a 48-day timeframe. When he caught Covid-19 the second time, his symptoms were more severe and he ended up in hospital needing oxygen support.”
“the family of viruses have a number of tricks to “subvert normal immunity”, he explains. “The vaccines can overcome this and induce much stronger, more lasting immunity as they work in a different way. They present a single protein – spike – to the immune system on a really stimulatory platform.””
“We know natural immunity can last around six months – but we don’t know how long vaccine immunity lasts. However, based on research from other vaccines, scientists believe having the jab will provide immunity for well over a year.”
“In the UK, the advice is that you should have the vaccine whether or not you’ve previously had Covid-19. Prof Altmann says this is important, “not least because many people could never get a PCR test, so can’t be 100% sure if they were truly infected [at the beginning of the pandemic]”.”
Another interesting over the counter item to use to fight against covid-19 – Xlear sinus care – found on Amazon – once again focused on the sinus which makes sense – adding this to my arsenal for when I travel – https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.12.02.408575v3.full
“Combination therapy with GSE and xylitol may prevent spread of viral respiratory infections not just for SAR-CoV-2 but also for future H1N1 or other viral epidemics. GSE significantly reduces the viral load while xylitol prevents the virus attachment to the core protein on the cell wall.”
So sad no mentioned of ivermectin or even hcq/zinc given very low risk and potential high reward – they did mentioned dexamethasone – https://elemental.medium.com/if-you-get-covid-19-here-are-the-current-treatments-available-85c72086da1e
First time in awhile US not leading death – Brazil at 1500
First time CA not leading any category – NY leading both.
NY is very dispersed
LA still leading all counties
LA deaths are treading down
