"In addition, individuals who were previously infected who received one dose of the Pfizer vaccine were even more protected from breakthrough infection than the naturally infected group. There were no deaths in any of the groups examined. Given that previously infected individuals may have had multiple infections prior to the study period, the overall applicability of the study to all populations needs more clarification. Lastly, these findings should not be taken as an endorsement that getting infected is a better overall option for protection than the highly effective vaccines that are available as only those who survived initial infection were eligible for analysis."
Isn't that apples and oranges comparisons? They're not talking effective rates only relative rates. They could also claim having mRNA + adenovirus vaccines improve efficacy (not sure if there is such a study) but that does not say anything about mRNA vs adenovirus by themselves.
As a possible patient, good riddance as well. These people clearly don't believe in science and/or they don't believe in trusting experts and following their instructions.
That's the last person I want anywhere near me. Especially if they're nurses. I've run across a lot of nurses who think they know better than doctors, and this seems like a fantastic way to weed them out.
How much you want to bet "accidental" deaths go down after this?
People who worked like crazy, got COVID, recovered, and now don't want to take the vaccine as a consequence. Selfless heros to bad garbage, in less than 12 months.
Public health in a nutshell. The world will not forget.
Public health means that healthcare workers must put the well-being of their patients front and center. That’s why we have many vaccinations before medical school, rotations and residency and that’s why we have to have vaccinations before working clinically.
The vast majority of us knew that this was serious from the get go and acted accordingly. The majority of us have received our vaccinations and the rest have now been or real soon now be weeded out for their pro-disease and anti-science ideology.
There is no conflicting research and the conclusion drawn by this research needs further parsing as it may not be applicable to all populations.
Nonetheless, this study should not be taken as an endorsement that getting infected is a better overall option for protection than the highly effective vaccines.
