Updated Aug. 6 with CDC analysis of Kentucky (unvaccinated Kentuckians had “2.34 times the odds of reinfection<\/em>“ compared with fully vaccinated) and national analysis in Israel (vaccinated Israelis were 6.72 times more likely to get infected after the shot than after natural infection). More below.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) became one of the latest high-profile figures to get sick with Covid-19, even though he’s fully vaccinated. In a statement Monday, Graham said it feels like he has “the flu,” but is “certain” he would be worse if he hadn’t been vaccinated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While it’s impossible to know whether that’s the case, public health officials are grappling with the reality of an increasing number of fully-vaccinated Americans coming down with Covid-19 infections, getting hospitalized, and even dying of Covid. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) insists vaccination is still the best course for every eligible American. But many are asking if they have better immunity after they’re infected with the virus and recover, than if they\u2019re vaccinated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Increasingly, the answer within the data appears to be \u201dyes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why does CDC seem to be \u201cignoring” natural immunity?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In fact, some medical experts have said they\u2019re confounded by public health officials’ failure to factor natural and virus-acquired immunity into the Covid equation. Public and media narratives often press the necessity of \u201cvaccination for all,\u201d chiding states where vaccination rates are lowest. And they use vaccination rates and Covid case counts as inverse indicators of how safe it is in a particular state: high vaccination rate = high safety; high case counts = low safety (they claim).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, vaccination rates alone tell little about a population\u2019s true immune-status. And where high Covid case counts occur, it ultimately means a larger segment of that community ends up better-protected, vaccines aside. That\u2019s according to virologists who point out that fighting off Covid, even without developing any symptoms, leaves people with what\u2019s thought to be more robust and longer-lasting immunity than the vaccines confer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
