A study by Chemaitelly et al out of Qatar on July 7, 2022, shows that the “Effectiveness of primary infection” which is natural infection in an unvaccinated person, “against severe, critical or fatal COVID-19 reinfection was 97.3%,…irrespective of the variant of primary infection and reinfection, and with no evidence of waning…for over 14 months after primary infection”. [@1:23:03] Demonstrating natural infection provides superior immunity which is broad, robust and long lasting.
On July 7, 2022, NEJM Correspondence by Boucau et al, now published, demonstrated that the boosted, “people who are triple-vaccinated …against COVID recover significantly more slowly from COVID infection and remain contagious for longer than people who are not vaccinated at all.”
Ten days previous on June 28, 2022, another paper by Venkata et al showed that increased hospitalisation and death from COVID-19 is occurring in the highly vaccinated and that 95.6% of all COVID-19 deaths had pre-existing conditions.
