There\u2019s ample scientific evidence that natural immunity is effective and durable, and public-health leaders should pay it heed.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Without accounting for natural immunity, we are far from Anthony Fauci\u2019s stated target of 70% to 85% of the population becoming immune through full vaccination. But the effect of natural immunity is all around us.\u00a0<\/strong>The plummeting case numbers in late April and May weren\u2019t the result of vaccination alone, and they came amid a loosening of both restrictions and behavior.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Natural immunity is durable.<\/strong>\u00a0Researchers from Washington University in St. Louis\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nature.com\/articles\/s41586-021-03647-4\">reported<\/a>\u00a0last month that 11 months after a mild infection immune cells were still capable of producing protective antibodies. The authors concluded that prior Covid infection induces a \u201crobust\u201d and \u201clong-lived humoral immune response,\u201d leading some scientists to suggest that natural immunity is probably lifelong. Because infection began months earlier than vaccination, we have more follow-up data on the duration of natural immunity than on vaccinated immunity.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Researchers from the Cleveland Clinic published a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.medrxiv.org\/content\/10.1101\/2021.06.01.21258176v2\">study<\/a>\u00a0this week of 1,359 people previously infected with Covid who were unvaccinated. None of the subjects subsequently became infected, leading the researchers to conclude that\u00a0<strong>\u201cindividuals who have had SARS-CoV-2 infection are unlikely to benefit from COVID-19 vaccination.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s the harm of underestimating or disregarding the protection afforded by natural immunity?\u00a0<strong>It almost certainly cost American lives by misallocating vaccine doses earlier this year,<\/strong>\u00a0and is still doing so in countries where Covid is prevalent and shots are scarce. It continues to delay full reopening and prolongs the state of fear that has many people wearing masks even when there\u2019s no mandate, or reason, to do so.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Fauci said last Aug. 13 that when you have fewer than 10 cases per 100,000, \u201cyou should be able to open up safely and clearly.\u201d\u00a0<strong>The U.S. reached that point in mid-May. It\u2019s time to stop the fear mongering and level with the public about the incredible capabilities of both modern medical research and the human body\u2019s immune system.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/articles\/the-power-of-natural-immunity-11623171303\"><em>Read more here&#8230;<\/em><\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>As we are once again bombarded with accusations of &#8220;ignoring the science&#8221; &#8211; when even the head of CDC cannot show the &#8220;science&#8221; she is using to back her decision to make America mask-up again &#8211; and suggesting that natural immunity is not enough (you must still get the jab) as policymakers appear to be heading towards the tyrannical control required to achieve &#8220;ZeroCOVID&#8221; &#8211; an impossible dream (that enables trillions more in stimmies and more and more dependence on government handouts.<\/p>\n<p>___<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/political\/makary-fauci-its-time-stop-fearmongering-amid-widespread-natural-immunity\">https:\/\/www.zerohedge.com\/political\/makary-fauci-its-time-stop-fearmongering-amid-widespread-natural-immunity<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Makary To Fauci: &#8220;It&#8217;s Time To Stop The Fearmongering&#8221; Amid Widespread Natural Immunity<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-76406","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76406","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=76406"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/76406\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=76406"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=76406"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=76406"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
