(Natural News<\/a>) Mainstream media articles are beginning to question the effectiveness of the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccines<\/a> as more and more vaccinated people get infected and the boosters now being widely proposed.<\/p>\n A recent Bloomberg<\/em> article stated: \u201cVaccinated people appear to be getting the coronavirus at a surprisingly high rate.\u201d It added that \u201cthere\u2019s a growing concern that\u00a0vaccinated people may be more vulnerable to serious illness than previously thought.\u201d<\/p>\n The article also mentioned the small beach town of Provincetown, Massachusetts, where one of the best-known outbreaks among vaccinated people<\/a> occurred. Thousands of vaccinated and unvaccinated people gathered there over the Fourth of July weekend to celebrate the holiday.<\/p>\n About three-fourths of the 469 infections recorded after the parties were among vaccinated people.<\/p>\n The Daily Beast<\/em>, which has spent much of the pandemic shaming the vaccine-hesitant, is now admitting that the number of infections in \u201cultra-vaxxed\u201d Israel is soaring. Earlier this month, Israel\u2019s\u00a0Ministry of Health<\/em>\u00a0reported that 64 percent of the country\u2019s 400 COVID-19 patients in serious condition were fully vaccinated.<\/p>\n The country\u2019s preliminary vaccine data published in July also found that\u00a0Pfizer\u2019s COVID-19 vaccine was just\u00a040.5 percent effective on average at preventing symptomatic infections.<\/p>\n The analysis, which was carried out as the delta variant became the dominant strain in Israel, appeared to show a waning effectiveness of the Pfizer vaccine<\/a>. It was only\u00a016 percent effective against symptomatic infections\u00a0for those who had two doses back in January. For people that had received two doses by April, the efficacy rate against symptomatic infection stood at 79 percent.<\/p>\n Some are asking whether catching COVID-19 now is better than more vaccines. A recent headline from UK government-funded BBC<\/em> asked: \u201cWhat\u2019s the best way to top up our immunity?\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIt is now a serious question that has implications for whether children should ever be vaccinated. And whether we use the virus or booster shots to top up immunity in adults. Both have become contentious issues,\u201d the article stated.<\/p>\n \u201cWe could be digging ourselves into a hole<\/a>, for a very long time, where we think we can only keep COVID away by boosting every year,\u201d said Eleanor Riley, an immunologist from the University of Edinburgh<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n You get a broader immune response after being infected with the virus than vaccination. \u201cThat means if you had a real humdinger of an infection, you may have better immunity to any new variants that pop up as you have immunity to more than just spike [protein],\u201d said Riley. (Related:\u00a0COVID-19 natural immunity vs vaccine-induced immunity guide<\/a>.)<\/p>\n Our innate immune system protects us from a multitude of pathogens, thereby preventing these pathogens from causing disease. Suppression of innate immunity, especially in the younger age groups, can become very problematic.<\/p>\n As the innate immune system cannot remember the pathogens it encountered \u2013 innate immunity has no so-called immunological memory \u2013 we can only continue to rely on it provided we keep it trained well enough.<\/p>\n Training is achieved by regular exposure to a myriad of environmental agents, including pathogens. Thus, lockdowns and mask mandates are possibly stunting the training of our innate immune system.<\/p>\n Scientists are beginning to realize that\u00a0mass vaccinations are not going to wipe out SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. They\u00a0are now recommending that the virus be allowed to circulate throughout the population.<\/p>\n \u201cWe don\u2019t have anything that will stop transmission, so I think we are in a situation where herd immunity is not a possibility and I suspect the virus will throw up a new variant that is even better at infecting vaccinated individuals,\u201d Andrew Pollard, director of the Oxford Vaccine Group, told a parliamentary panel earlier this month.<\/p>\n Pollard argued that if mass testing was not stopped, \u201cthe UK could be in a situation of continually vaccinating the population.\u201d He said that only those with symptoms should be tested while others should go about their daily lives.<\/p>\n Infectious disease expert Paul Hunter, professor of medicine at\u00a0University of East Anglia<\/em><\/a>, told the same panel that vaccination would not bring about herd immunity. He said it was time to stop concentrating on supposed cases rather than actual infections.

It is not a priority now to vaccinate everyone with the third dose.\u201d<\/p>\n In March, vaccine expert Dr. Geert Vanden Bossche urged governments to stop vaccination drives<\/a>. He said in an open letter that\u00a0vaccinations will fuel the spread of new \u201cdangerous variants\u201d of the virus.<\/p>\n Vanden Bossche said the ongoing mass vaccination drives are \u201clikely to further enhance adaptive immune escape as none of the current vaccines will prevent replication or transmission of viral variants.\u201d<\/p>\n Immune escape is a term used to describe when the host \u2013 in this case humans \u2013 is\u00a0no longer able to recognize and counter\u00a0a pathogen such as a relevant variant or mutant of SARS-CoV-2.<\/p>\n \u201cThe more we use these vaccines for immunizing people in the midst of a pandemic, the more infectious the virus will become,\u201d Vanden Bossche wrote. \u201cWith increasing infectiousness comes an increased likelihood of viral resistance to the vaccines.\u201d<\/p>\n Follow\u00a0Immunization.news<\/a> for more news and information related to coronavirus vaccines.<\/p>\n Sources include:<\/strong><\/p>\n WakingTimes.com<\/a><\/p>\n Bloomberg.com<\/a><\/p>\n CNBC.com<\/a><\/p>\nGetting\u00a0infected gives more protection\u00a0against variants than getting vaccinated<\/h2>\n
