Effectiveness of Natural Immunity
September 16, 2021
WASHINGTON — On Wednesday, U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) sent a letter to
Dr. Anthony Fauci, Director of National Institute of Allergy and Infectious
Diseases (NIAID), Dr. Rochelle Walensky, Director of the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention (CDC), and Dr. Janet Woodcock, Acting Commissioner
of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regarding President Biden’s
announcement of vaccine mandates in both the public and private sectors
without making any exceptions for those who have been previously infected
with COVID-19 and have natural immunity.
“On September 9, 2021, President Biden announced vaccine mandates in both
the public and private sectors without making any exceptions for those who
have been previously infected with COVID-19 and have natural immunity,” the
senator wrote.
“When asked to comment on the effectiveness of natural immunity against the
virus based on recent studies from Israel, Dr. Anthony Fauci stated he did
not ‘have a real firm answer’ on that. Almost 20 months into the pandemic,
it is shocking that the chief medical advisor to the president does not
have a firm grasp on the effectiveness of natural immunity, but still
promotes freedom-robbing vaccine mandates.
This administration clearly does not want the public to question whether
natural immunity is more effective than vaccines. As President Biden
revealingly declared, the vaccine mandate ‘is not about freedom or personal
choice.’ This administration’s decision to disregard the effectiveness of
natural immunity and demand vaccination ignores current data and is an
assault on all Americans’ civil liberties.”
The full text of the letter can be found here and below.

发帖数: 194 | 2 Dear Drs. Fauci, Walensky, and Woodcock:
On September 9, 2021, President Biden announced vaccine mandates in both the
public and private sectors without making any exceptions for those who have
been previously infected with COVID-19 and have natural immunity.[1]
When asked to comment on the effectiveness of natural immunity against the
virus based on recent studies from Israel, Dr. Anthony Fauci stated he did
not “have a real firm answer” on that.[2] Almost 20 months into the
pandemic, it is shocking that the chief medical advisor to the president
does not have a firm grasp on the effectiveness of natural immunity, but
still promotes freedom-robbing vaccine mandates. This administration
clearly does not want the public to question whether natural immunity is
more effective than vaccines. As President Biden revealingly declared, the
vaccine mandate “is not about freedom or personal choice.”[3] This
administration’s decision to disregard the effectiveness of natural
immunity and demand vaccination ignores current data and is an assault on
all Americans’ civil liberties.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) have openly admitted that they have not fully studied
natural immunity, while also promoting vaccination over natural immunity.
The CDC recommends that, regardless of prior infection status, individuals
should be vaccinated as “experts do not yet know how long you are protected
from getting sick again after recovering from COVID-19.”[4] The FDA has
also stated “[a]t this time, researchers do not know whether the presence
of antibodies means that you are immune to COVID-19; or if you are immune,
how long it will last.”[5]
Recent studies in Israel, however, appear to show that natural immunity may
provide similar or even better protection than vaccines in the fight against
COVID-19. In one preprint study, researchers found that, in terms of
protecting against COVID-19, previous SARS-CoV-2 infection provided similar
protection compared to the BioNTech vaccine.[6] Another preprint study from
Israel found that individuals with previous infection had 13 times the
protection from the Delta variant than fully vaccinated, previously
uninfected individuals.[7] The same study found that there was a 27 fold
increased risk for symptomatic breakthrough infection in vaccinated
individuals compared to reinfection for individuals with natural immunity.[8]
The Israeli studies are not alone in suggesting the potency of natural
immunity. Earlier this year, the National Institutes of Health (NIH)
published an article about a January 2021 study from the La Jolla Institute
for Immunology with the headline “Lasting immunity found after recovery
from COVID-19.”[9] The article stated that the researchers found that more
than 95 percent of those who recovered from COVID-19 had durable immune
system memory of the virus up to 8 months later.[10] The article noted that
“the results provide hope that people receiving SARS-CoV-2 vaccines will
develop similar lasting immune memories after vaccination.”[11]
According to the CDC, an estimated 120 million Americans had been infected
with COVID-19 as of May 2021.[12] The CDC itself acknowledges that immunity
to a virus can occur “through infection with the actual disease (resulting
in natural immunity).”[13]
I was tested for antibodies and found that seven months after having an
asymptotic case of COVID-19, my serology is positive for antibodies against
SARS-COV-2 at roughly the same level as an individual that has received the
Moderna vaccine.[14] My experience seems consistent with the previously
mentioned January 2021 study that found immune memory to SARS-CoV-2 lasted
up to 8 months after infection.[15] Some researchers and studies have found
that natural immunity from COVID-19 could last years or potentially decades
.[16]
To better understand Dr. Fauci’s, FDA’s, and CDC’s positions regarding
natural immunity from COVID-19, I request the following information:
1. Approximately 20 months into this pandemic, why have U.S. health agencies
not fully studied COVID-19 natural immunity?
2. Please explain why Dr. Fauci supports vaccine mandates for all
individuals without apparently considering studies that show the
effectiveness of natural immunity against the virus.
3. Did Dr. Fauci recommend to study the protection offered by natural
immunity prior to President Biden’s decision to impose vaccine mandates?
If not, why not?
4. Did FDA and CDC consider the January 2021 NIH article titled, “Lasting
immunity found after recovery from COVID-19,” or other studies on natural
immunity, when deciding that individuals, regardless of previous COVID-19
infection, should be vaccinated? If not, why not?
5. Does the FDA and CDC agree with the World Health Organization’s
statement that “[a]vailable scientific data suggests that in most people
immune responses remain robust and protective against reinfection for at
least 6-8 months after infection”? [17] If not, why not?
6. Is the FDA or CDC aware of any adverse events in previously infected
individuals that have been vaccinated? Please provide a complete list of
these adverse events.
7. How many Americans received a vaccination after having COVID-19? If this
data is unavailable, please explain why.
8. Provide the current estimated total number of infections of COVID-19 in
the U.S.
9. Do the FDA and CDC dispute the findings of the two Israeli studies cited
in this letter? If so, please provide the data that contradict these
studies.
10. Provide the estimated number of breakthrough infections in vaccinated
persons versus reinfections in previously infected persons.
11. Please explain why “antibody testing is not recommended to determine
whether you are immune or protected from COVID-19.”[18]
12. Has the FDA or CDC examined the duration of natural immunity compared to
vaccine immunity? If not, why not?
Please provide a response no later than September 29, 2021. Thank you for
your attention to this urgent matter. | j******9

。不过要求人家玩命，咱们凭什么。
但是，现在的局面，乃是一个死局，对方是绝对没有退路的，你起来发出不同声音，指
望对方听进去，是不可能的。对方退一步，就会崩溃。必须死硬到底，谁跳出来就不择
手段地灭谁。你必须有干死对方的决心，做好被对方干死的心理准备，豁出去玩命，才
有一线生机。
否则，最多就是一场政治秀而已，只是几分钟的谈资，如此而已。
当年美国南方闹独立，开始是完全可能快速军事解决问题的。但是战略目标错了。他的
战略目标是，你放我独立吧，打仗的目的是求和，而对方的目的是彻底干翻你，把你按
在地下猛操。这一开始就注定是打不赢的仗。不是物质力量的差距，而是战争目标，战
争意志的差距。
同样，二战德国对于英国，也是犯了同样的错误。
美国韩战，越战，阿战，就不用说了。
床铺除了自身个性，为人处世，各种缺点，最致命的是 没有真正玩命的狠劲，就是一
个 barking dog, 绣花枕头。他从头到尾就是一个懦夫，作出张牙舞爪的样子唬人，
成功一时，但很快就露馅了而已。

发帖数: 215 | 4 打疫苗对抗疫有没有帮助？
打疫苗有没有副作用？有的话，相比于抗疫值不值得？
很简单的选择题，说到底就是个决断的问题。
天朝决断，人民配合，所以控制下来。美帝都死了60多万了，还在一天到晚辩论要不要
带口罩要不要打疫苗，一拖再拖，长期伤害更大。
参议员，也算是政治领导精英了，挑刺唱反调一点都不难，难的是站出来提出解决问题
的办法，付出团结民众战胜疫情的行动，成天打这样的嘴炮，对于抗疫毫无帮助，所谓
政客当政，国家的不幸。 |
