You can't ask people to prove they had an illness (practically impossible to do formally) but you can track vaccinations and quantify it.
Actually, you could. The EU framework actually does so, combining vaccination, infection, and recent testing, all into the one "cert". Notice also the nod the Australian system makes: it doesn't exactly make a direct comparison as to which is better or worse, but it deems infection to be a medical counter-indication from getting vaxed, so ends up having much the same practical effect. (I'm not sure if there's particularly strong evidence for it being an actual counter-indication, so that might be either a slightly sly presentation, or just an abundance of "oh no, cytokine storm" caution.)
I'm just a layperson, but this appears to indicate that unvaxxed who've recovered from covid are more protected (gasp) than the vax'd who've never had covid?
Oh, don't be so modest! You're a layperson that's been singing this song for a while. Recall the Israeli preprint that claimed a
maHOOsive such effect?
Short answer: yes and no. Does it indicate that if you got around Novax Pox Party I, you're super-immune, and less likely to get it again than someone recently triple-vaxed? (See social-media misinformation,
passim.) Nope! Potentially longer answer on how other configurations after I've looked at the paper (for which link thank you) properly.
One factor is almost inevitably the "variant" effect. Those vaccines are for Sars2 WT -- or as the SMMI might put it, outdated
and dangerously experimental, at the same time! If you've had a delta or an omicron infection, every chance you have more carryover immunity to getting delta or omicron, or something genetically closer to those than to Classic, than from the WT vaccine.
A short play:
Indeed, put the "short" part on the posters. You can quote me on that if you don't get other reviews!
Biden threw that opportunity out the window
While lying, the filthy insufficiently radical communist scum that he is. Keep banging the macro, we'll keep "cherry gonna cherry!"-ing.
Until we accept the necessity of masks we are doomed. In other words, we are doomed. Well, not everyone, just hundreds of thousands doomed to die and millions more to a debilitating maybe permanent illness.
You talking in the US, or worldwide? Hard to tell when the "only one country" effect is in effect and when not, especially on a nom-det 'Merkin website. Assuming the former: that seems rather pessimistic overall, and wildly off for any likely difference between maskier and less-masked scenarios. And even if it weren't... seriously, find a blamemap that doesn't make you sound like a
truly desperate partisan hack.
I have been obsessed with avoiding covid (to no avail), and even I would outright reject any plan where I wear a mask for the foreseeable future.
Hopefully it won't be a one-and-done permanent burnout. To be optimistic, we might be entering a phase where from a public health point of view, "let's catch this cold!" might actually make sense. But to be pessimistic, not impossible we'll have bad "covid seasons" -- or worse, bad combo covid/flu seasons to come. So we might have future peaks we'd prefer to "flatten".
Here they've this very day dropped I think basically all restrictions
apart from mask-wearing in shops and on public transport.
In other words, our country is totally Bidened.
If only there were some other more applicable proper noun, also describing a recent head of state, that actually made more semantic sense in this context, and even happened to be verb too...
