Natural Immunity’ From Covid Is Not Safer Than a Vaccine

Mon, 2020-12-07 10:40 — mike kraft

On the heels of last month’s news of stunning results from Pfizer’s and Moderna’s experimental Covid-19 vaccines, Senator Rand Paul tweeted a provocative comparison.

The new vaccines were 90 percent and 94.5 percent effective, Mr. Paul, Republican of Kentucky, said. But “naturally acquired” Covid-19 was even better, at 99.9982 percent effective, he claimed.

Mr. Paul is one of many people who, weary of lockdowns and economic losses, have extolled the benefits of contracting the coronavirus. The senator was diagnosed with the disease this year and has argued that surviving a bout of Covid-19 confers greater protection than getting vaccinated.

As UK prepares to roll out COVID-19 vaccines, scepticism remains

Mon, 2020-12-07 10:10 — mike kraft

Britain begins its vaccine programme this week and others are likely to follow soon, so governments are seeking to reassure people of vaccines' safety and efficacy in order to get a critical mass to take them.

U.S. Vaccine rollout smaller than pledged, states scramble amid surprise squeezee
