      First lab results on Omicron, from @sigallab.🙏 Not great, but not as catastrophic as it could have been. Tested with 2x Pfizer, and shows, yeah, it'll cause a lot of breakthroughs. Those with vaccine *and* infection appeared much more protected: suggests boosters will work well.https://twitter.com/_b_meyer/status/1468319835012673549 …

      (Vaccine + Booster) is not the same as (Vaccine + Recovery). However, (Vaccine + Recovery) is very similar to just Recovery (aka. natural immunity), especially if the infection came before the vaccination.

      I'll take the bet you are wrong on this. We already have data from South Africa on re-infections, plus work from other variants and basic principles of science. Honestly, natural immunity is a real thing, but so is getting high on one's own supply.

          And what exactly does that "data from South Africa on re-infections" say? Is Pfizer paying you by the tweet? Do you have any idea how many people are going to die from the outright lies you are pushing?

          Just more Covid porn & speculation. Never ends. Cesspool of "confirmation biases". But it'll all be a different story in another month or so anyway. Chasing yet another variant or mutation &/or absurd CDC study all in service of the "narrative". Rest of us are moving on honey.
