A newly published medical study has found that infection from Covid-19 gives far better protection against the Delta variant of the virus than vaccines do, obliterating the case for a health passport indicating vaccination status.
“The natural immune protection that develops after a SARS-CoV-2 infection offers considerably more of a shield against the Delta variant of the pandemic coronavirus than two doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, according to a large Israeli study,” reported the Scientific American on Thursday. “The newly released data show people who once had a SARS-CoV-2 infection were much less likely than vaccinated people to get Delta, develop symptoms from it, or become hospitalized with serious Covid-19.”
Thus the vaccinated are 27 times more likely to become infected with the virus than those with natural immunity.
Zero need for vaccine passports
The findings come as many governments around the world are demanding citizens acquire “vaccine passports” to travel, shop, eat out and participate in recreational activities. New York City, France, and the Canadian provinces of Quebec and British Columbia are among those who have recently pushed hard for vaccine passports.
Australia even wants to make higher vaccination rates a condition of lifting its particularly harsh lockdowns. In the US, President Joe Biden, also a booster shot advocate, is considering making interstate travel unlawful for people who are unvaccinated.
But these passports have been made redundant by the new findings out of Israel and the UK. Harvard Medical School professor Martin Kulldorff confirmed that natural immunity offered the protection needed against Covid-19. Therefore, demanding vaccination as a condition to participate in public life is not only discriminatory but not based on available scientific findings.
