I don't think there is any data yet on whether natural immunity

Posted by is either stronger or lasts longer than vaccination immunity. sm on Thu, Aug 12 2021 at 09:16 AM CDT:

In Reply to: I was definitely sick that long and actually even longer. Shortness of breath posted by for me lasted about 2 months. I haven't been sick since, sm on Wed, Aug 11 2021 at 08:19 AM CDT:

I believe I had Covid back at the start of the epidemic before there was antibody testing available. I never bothered to get tested thereafter, I just got vaccinated after the initial cattle stampede died down along with the number of active cases out there. If I didn't have Covid, I'm now protected, and if I did, I've effectively had a 3rd booster, so good either way.

Vitamins are all well and good, and I do take some on general principles, but they're no guarantee you won't catch an infectious disease if/when you are exposed to a sufficiently high viral load. They may help make your immune system sufficiently strong to recover without a problem, but even that is not guaranteed.

Actually there is data and if you want me to send you more I will See link Thu, Aug 12 2021 at 09:12 PM CDT (13)
- There is data, yes, conflicting data and incomplete data. Amost no one has had natural immunity for more than a year and a half, sm Sat, Aug 14 2021 at 09:47 AM CDT (12)
  - Another study that appears to be promising for long term... sm Sat, Aug 14 2021 at 02:11 PM CDT (5)
    - Recent data on cases of reinfection shows that vaccination is more effective at preventing it than naturally acquired immunity. sm Sun, Aug 15 2021 at 08:23 AM CDT (4)
      - Disagree. The narrative is breaking down. Serious problems are already coming out. Sun, Aug 15 2021 at 08:48 AM CDT (3)
        
        If you think it's all about "narrative," never mind the numbers, you really should take this conversation to the other board. nm Sun, Aug 15 2021 at 05:46 PM CDT (2)
        
        The narrative is breaking down. Watch how many serious cases Are vaccinated. These vaccines are not working Mon, Aug 16 2021 at 09:34 AM CDT (1)

  - Oh yes, and most of the immunity studies look only at antibodies, which are just one subset of the total immune system. sm Sat, Aug 14 2021 at 09:52 AM CDT (5)

    - It's interesting to think about this. Researchers find long-lived immunity to 1918 pandemic virus sm Sat, Aug 14 2021 at 10:34 AM CDT (3)
      - Too bad they missed the window to test duration of immunity in those who contracted the virus in middle and old age. sm Sat, Aug 14 2021 at 11:35 AM CDT (0)
      - Yes, but even with influenza, variants can override immunity. And humans have never developed long-lasting immunity from common-cold coronaviruses. nm Sat, Aug 14 2021 at 11:31 AM CDT (0)
      - The human body is pretty amazing what it can do. nm Sat, Aug 14 2021 at 10:37 AM CDT (0)
