A new study on the effects of natural infection by the coronavirus suggests that there may be little to no benefit for recovered SARS-CoV-2 patients in receiving vaccines against the coronavirus.
Coronavirus patients who recovered from the virus were far less likely to become infected during the latest wave of the pandemic than people who were vaccinated against COVID, according to numbers presented to the Israeli Health Ministry.
Health Ministry data on the wave of COVID outbreaks which began this May show that Israelis with immunity from natural infection were far less likely to become infected again in comparison to Israelis who only had immunity via vaccination.
More than 7,700 new cases of the virus have been detected during the most recent wave starting in May, but just 72 of the confirmed cases were reported in people who were known to have been infected previously – that is, less than 1% of the new cases.
Roughly 40% of new cases – or more than 3,000 patients – involved people who had been infected despite being vaccinated.

With the immune system buffers in the vaccine, I wonder if a person who gets the virus after getting the vaccine actually builds natural immunity against the virus? I have a feeling that the answer is no, but I could be wrong.

Been saying for months now, if the chance of reinfection was even remotely a thing they would use it in their pleas 24/7 through out all forms of media to persuade folks to go get the vaccine. Since I have yet to see that my take was always that it wasn't used because natural immunity was much better and they've know so far a long time or knew it the whole time.

Some people don't respond to me anymore, don't feel bad. When they have no response it's because they haven't been told one yet.
The information is available, that's the important thing. The fact that nobody that supports mass vaccination addresses articles like this shows that it's not about the science or offering the best protection.

There can't be a plan in which eroding trust in the government is part of a plan that "the government" would adopt. (unless those in charge were as stupid as they appear)
