On March 11th, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. In the United States, our ability to combat SARS-CoV-2 virus was greatly accelerated by Operation Warp Speed . The incredible speed with which vaccines got to the public is a testament to human innovation, demonstrating what the biotech industry can achieve when regulatory reins are loosened.
Data from an ongoing SARS-CoV-2, nationwide antibody study by Cure-Hub LLC shows high neutralizing antibody levels after vaccination, especially after the second mRNA dose. Two doses of either of the mRNA vaccines appears to push antibody levels even higher than natural infection.
Despite strong antibody production after vaccination, reports of breakthrough infections are still occurring . Emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants, particularly the Delta variant , sometimes allow the virus to escape vaccine immunity. Delta is also more transmissible than previous variants, as evident in its rapid overtaking of other variants in all sequenced SARS-CoV-2 samples .
Fortunately, vaccines appear to reduce disease severity when breakthrough infections do occur ( 1 , 2 , 3 ).
While the focus has been on vaccination, there are many people who recovered from the virus. The CDC estimates 101 million symptomatic COVID-19 infections and 767,00 deaths have occurred in the USA. That leaves an estimated 100 million people that have beat the virus, the majority of whom have natural immunity ( 3 , 4 ).
Studies on SARS-CoV-2 natural immunity show durable protection against reinfection. Some data even suggests that natural immunity is more protective than the vaccines ( 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 ). When reinfection does occur, it also appears less severe than first infections ( 9 ).
Breakthrough infections display how difficult it is to produce a vaccine that fully protects against SARS-CoV-2. This difficulty means we must consider the difference between natural immunity and vaccine immunity, and what that means for SARS-CoV-2 as we move away from a pandemic emergency. To understand those differences in immunity, you must first understand some biology. Doctor performs COVID-19 PCR test.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
