well, this is unfortunate...

The study determined that natural immunity is somewhat short, and in a model where everyone has either been infected with COVID-19 or vaccinated against it, those who are unvaccinated can expect to be reinfected with the coronavirus roughly every 16-17 months.

Shorter than the vax, which looks to be about 6 months?

How often are vaccinated people catching it?

Seems to be a LOT more often than the unvaccinated people.

And they will have a 99.999 % chance of surviving a virus a large majority of the time they don’t even have symptoms or know they have the virus to start with

Not sure why there’s any hysteria about this anymore

My household had it about 7.5 months apart. We will continue to roll with our natural immune systems which seem to be doing mighty fine jobs fighting this virus.

Well, I’ve made it 2 years without being infected - and I’ve been tested at least once a month those entire 2 years.

Still that is three times longer than the vax last. But it is nice to know how long it will be between each mutation.

Someone did not take technical writing....

"The study, which used a model where everyone has either been infected with COVID-19 or vaccinated against it, predicts that those who are unvaccinated can expect to be reinfected with the coronavirus every 16-17 months."

Ok, so what. We survived it once. I'm infected with the flu about every 10 years. Colds about every 2 years. Throw it in there with the rest.

Why would we need a model for this? Hasn't it been longer than 16-17 months since COVID was prevalent throughout the country?

Get in line for your booster and shut up. Review this menu of the several choices you have to mix and match. You can do the Moderna and then 4-6 months later, the Pfizer and then J&J at 10 months to a year after your initial shot. Or you can go back with the Moderna if you didn't get the clots the first time.

And you can still catch and spread Covid???

Frick them.

Well I've worked through this entire thing and never had it. Been tested like 5 times and it's been negative every time.

Right? Wouldn't this also be a knock against the vaccine, since you can still get infected while vaccinated?

Lovely how they leave out the instances of vaccinated people getting sick too.

So I'll get COVID sniffles on top of seasonal sniffles.

Fine with me.
