The CDC is at it again with distorting the Coronavirus narrative. This time, in a press released titled, “New CDC Study: Vaccination Offers Higher Protection than Previous COVID-19 Infection,” the CDC is distorting the truth on natural immunity through leaving out key details.
See the press release here: https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2021/s0806-vaccination-protection.html
Cutting to the chase, the CDC suggests that being vaccinated provides better immunity than natural immunity, but the study they rely on is about those who contracted Coronavirus and then subsequently received the vaccine.
The misleading element is that, instead of comparing those who got the shot without prior infection, the CDC is relying on the confounding variable of those who already contracted the virus.
Quoting the CDC: “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.”
By leaving out those who got the shot but never contracted the virus prior, the headline misleads people to think that ALL vaccinations are more effective than natural immunity and that it’s vaccination itself that is driving the bulk of the improvement.
On top of that, the comparative rate of “2.34 times less likely to be reinfected” does not speak to the actual risk of reinfection in raw numbers, nor does it speak to what the outcomes are for those who are already recovered.
In essence, the CDC is misleading people about vaccine efficacy in independent form and is hiding the extent to which natural recovery played a role in immunity generally.
The study they relied on also suffers from some serious issues. Of most importance, noted even by the study’s authors, is that the reinfections looked at were not confirmed through whole-genome sequencing, that is, it’s not certain the reinfection was even the Sars-2 virus.
On top of that, viral shedding may have continued past the point of infection to create a positive test result even though there was no subsequent reinfection.
See the researcher’s commentary on those issues here:
Reduced Risk of Reinfection with SARS-CoV-2 After COVID-19 Vaccination — Kentucky, May–June 2021
https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7032e1.htm?s_cid=mm7032e1_w
Of course, the misleading headline and study limitations are not stopping “fact checkers” (more like fraud presenters) from claiming that vaccine-induced immunity is more effective and longer-lasting than natural recovery in all cases.
So, if you see someone parroting this distortion from the CDC’s press release headline, be sure to call them out on it.

My understanding is that natural immunity is in fact better. However, a vaccine provides for an improved immune response whether you have had covid or not. While it is probably a gross oversimplification, if you had covid and recovered, your first vaccine dose really serves as your first booster.
While I am not certain of this myself, there have been a number of credible virologists who have voiced a concern that the vaccination using the mRNA technology may push toward an increase in escape variants, that is, variants of the virus that mutate rapidly to avoid the spike-specific antibodies.
See my article: https://ecency.com/lambdavariant/@thepholosopher/innate-immunity-is-the-cornerstone
I think the verdict is still out, but the topic is not new and it appears plausible that, given the rapidly-evolving nature of the virus and the mass vaccination, it is possible that the push toward spike-specific immunity may foster an evolutionary push toward super-viruses.
We will have to wait and see on that one with more time and study.
Why is the CDC manipulating the data?
As Biden would say, "C'mon Man!" You know the answer to that.
No, I don’t. Power and control is just so generalized. I’m trying to get more to the heart of the matter. It’s something I have been wondering about this whole time. There’s never been a credible connection made, at least for me.
If you want to go deep, then you have to go through Fauci's whole history and his management of $50 billion dollars in grants through the NIH. Look at who is wife is and what she heads. Look at his connections to Bill Gates and the Clintons.
It's a cabal of Malthusian Eugenicists who are finishing up plans from the early 20th century to seize control of the world through global government in the hopes of implementing a depopulation agenda.
There's so much to this history, it's hard to take in readily.
But two books that can get you kicked off on the topic are:

The CDC is manipulating the data because there is a giant revolving door with corporate lobbyists and those in the state. Those connected want to both deepen their control over the population through medical tyranny and enrich themselves in the process. The data manipulation serves to do this by creating a false flag of fear from which those in the state can rationalize their emergency powers, reorganize the economy, and get everyone onto a cradle-to-grave surveillance system under the guise of "safety."
