How the CDC Buries the Truth about Natural Immunity | Brownstone Institute - Joe Wang:
March 30, 2022 - "The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is one of the U.S. government’s major operating components, an agency under the Department of Health and Human Services. The CDC’s mission statement reads, 'CDC increases the health security of our nation. … CDC saves lives and protects people from health threats.' The agency also pledges to the American people that it will 'base all public health decisions on the highest quality scientific data that is derived openly and objectively.'
"Well, COVID-19 has been the nation’s largest health threat for the past two years. It has had a huge impact on the lives of every American. During those two years, thousands of scientists and health-care researchers have studied COVID and accumulated a huge amount of information on the disease. We’ve now gradually come to realize that the most effective force that would eventually end the pandemic is natural immunity. Even Bill Gates has admitted that 'the virus itself, particularly the variant called Omicron, is a type of vaccine.' With the rapid spread of Omicron and with many asymptomatic infections, millions of people have developed natural immunity, which is driving COVID-19 out of its pandemic stage and into endemicity....
"The CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) published on Jan. 28 presented some very interesting information from California and New York comparing immunity against COVID-19 from four groups of people, indicating natural immunity alone provides the best protection. Since then, I have been anxiously waiting for more data, as there are 48 other states, and even for California and New York, important data like this should be updated monthly, if not weekly. To my surprise and disappointment, I have not been able to find any more data on natural immunity from the MMWR since Jan. 28. I am sure they have the data — they just don’t want to share it with us. I’m beginning to wonder if CDC stands for Center for Data Control....
"The CDC’s Jan. 28 report included the following chart but neglected to provide a summary comparing protection between vaccinated people without natural immunity and unvaccinated people who recovered from COVID and now have natural immunity. It seems that it’s necessary to dive a little deeper into the data to elaborate my point, as the authors of the report did not conclude the very obvious. Please bear with me.
"The above CDC chart shows data from California on protection against COVID-19 collected from four groups of people between May 30, 2021, and Nov. 20, 2021:
- The unvaccinated, with no previous COVID-19 diagnosis (top solid line)
- The vaccinated, with no previous COVID-19 diagnosis ([blue] broken line below the solid line)
- The unvaccinated, with previous diagnosis [black broken line]
- The vaccinated, with previous diagnosis [blue dotted line]
"It is obvious that the lines representing 3) and 4) are superimposing on one another, indicating that vaccination had virtually no impact on protection when a person has recovered from COVID-19 infection, meaning natural immunity dominates protection over vaccination to a level that made vaccination irrelevant.
"Although the biggest difference lies between the unvaccinated with no previous infection and everyone else, the second biggest difference, however, is between the 'Vaccinated, no previous COVID-19 diagnosis' line (vaccine immunity) and the 'Unvaccinated, previous COVID-19 diagnosis' line (natural immunity), with the natural immunity line having a much lower hazard rate, meaning better protection. The report also revealed similar findings for New York state.
"The CDC’s MMWR is a weekly report. The chart above is part of the report for the last week of January, and it was for only two of the 50 states, California and New York. When I was writing my Feb. 5 article, I thought that maybe it was a benign omission that the CDC did not conclude the obvious. For sure, more data would be coming from the CDC in February and March, I thought, as it would teach us so much more about natural immunity.
"However, it hasn’t materialized. Since Jan. 28, there have been 10 MMWR reports published on the CDC website, totaling 29 articles in all. They cover topics ranging from vaccination by geographic locations, to vaccine confidence by sexual orientation, to isolation strategy for fully vaccinated NFL players, and so on. So far, the Jan. 28 report was the only one that included 'unvaccinated, with previous diagnosis' in the data, and that’s unfortunate. All the other reports were to re-enforce the conclusion that vaccines are effective, with almost nothing about natural immunity....
"According to the CDC’s own information, the United States has had about 80 million COVID-19 cases. The vast majority of patients recovered from the disease. This huge part of the U.S. population now enjoys natural immunity. This is also true for Canada and many other parts of the world.
"It seems that the CDC is avoiding anything and everything related to natural immunity. But why?"
