"In today’s MMWR, a study of COVID-19 infections in Kentucky among people who were previously infected with SAR-CoV-2 shows that unvaccinated individuals are more than twice as likely to be reinfected with COVID-19 than those who were fully vaccinated after initially contracting the virus. These data further indicate that COVID-19 vaccines offer better protection than natural immunity alone and that vaccines, even after prior infection, help prevent reinfections."

The anti-vaxxers continue to deny the medical evidence.

That's not what I heard Paul,
I heard catching Covid will give you 7 times the immunity that you would otherwise get from 2 shots of Pfizer.
- So much conflicting information.

Hi AC,

What it is, is the protection offered after catching Covid is variable. In some cases there is a high level of immunity from having had the disease, for others it is rather low, its doubtful that natural immunity is uniform. For those that have had the virus vaccination should still be a consideration.
