New CDC data released on Wednesday (Jan. 19) showed that people who already recovered from COVID-19 had stronger protection against SARS-CoV-2 infection and hospitalization during the Delta wave than fully vaccinated who haven’t had COVID-19.
The new report examined COVID-19 data among adults in New York and California from May 30 to November 20, 2021.
In early October, infection rates in California among fully vaccinated people who previously had COVID-19 were 6.2-fold lower than among unvaccinated people who haven’t had COVID-19, and 4.5-fold lower in New York. Meanwhile, infection rates in California among unvaccinated people who previously had COVID-19 were 29-fold lower than among unvaccinated people who haven’t had COVID-19, and 14.7-fold lower in New York.
Hospitalization rates in California followed a similar pattern. In October, hospitalization rates for fully vaccinated people who haven’t had COVID-19 were 19.8-fold lower than among unvaccinated people who haven’t had COVID-19. However, hospitalization rates for unvaccinated people who previously had COVID-19 were 55.3-fold lower than among unvaccinated people who haven’t had COVID-19.
There were no hospitalization data from New York.
CDC’s Natural Immunity Bombshell Catches CNN Completely Off-Guard, Leaving Audience Misinformed and Confused
The U.S. CDC shocked the world on Wednesday (Jan. 19) when it released data confirming that natural immunity from prior SARS-CoV-2 infection not only exists—but provides vastly superior protection from COVID-19 than vaccination alone.
“You know, it’s very interesting,” CNN Medical Correspondent Elizabeth Cohen said on Wednesday (Jan. 19) at the beginning of a segment before telling a lie. “The CDC showed once again that vaccination is superior to prior infection.”
And it gets worse.
When CNN’s website first reported on the news earlier that day, its original headline —’Vaccination Protects Against COVID-19 Hospitalization Significantly More Than Prior Infection, According to CDC Study’—was stunningly false, claiming the opposite of what was true.
Is this journalistic malpractice, or outright propaganda?
