The two groups studied are vastly different from each other. The median age of the vaccinated group is pretty significantly higher compared to the convalescent group by almost 15 years. >51% of the vaccinated group is over 60 while only 16% in the convalescent plasma group. In the vaccinated 180 day group the average age was 65 compared to 40 in the unvaccinated group at the same time interval. Also the vaccinated cohort had significantly more comorbidities including diabetes and immunosuppression. don’t know if you can confer that much from this except spike ab in previously infected 40 year olds may last longer than vaccinated >60 year olds with more comorbidities. Would be better if they compared vaccinated vs previous infected with same age and medical conditions.While still a preprint, this is good news for natural immunity for those who have had covid19.
"In vaccinated subjects, antibody titers decreased by up to 40% each subsequent month while in convalescents they decreased by less than 5% per month. Six months after BNT162b2 vaccination 16.1% subjects had antibody levels below the seropositivity threshold of <50 AU/mL, while only 10.8% of convalescent patients were below <50 AU/mL threshold after 9 months from SARS-CoV-2 infection. Conclusions: This study demonstrates individuals who received the Pfizer-BioNTech mRNA vaccine have different kinetics of antibody levels compared to patients who had been infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus, with higher initial levels but a much faster exponential decrease in the first group."
No, it has not. Only ONE of the studies it used was withdrawn, and it is being reprinted.That study has been withdrawn
Expression of Concern: “Meta-analysis of Randomized Trials of Ivermectin to Treat SARS-CoV-2 Infection”

You should put on a respirator and cut off all outside air supply to be sure that no Rona gets thru. Guaranteed to prevent you from catching it.Continue searching for the perfect cocktail of horse tranquilizers, essential oils, disenfectants, and prayers to whatever god you have.
I'm sure it'll work out well
Hope it works but the study retracted that they used in the meta-analysis from Egypt was the largest trial included and showed the most improvement with ivermectin. Would be great if ivermectin works though. A cheap drug that could save lives. Wish more research would be done on fluvoxamine and inhaled budesonide. They seem to have better data than ivermectin.It’s definitely a fast moving bogey but hopefully will still yield fruit.
I’d just like to see more locales moving out on the monoclonal antibodies accessibility it seems to bounce people right back.Hope it works but the study retracted that they used in the meta-analysis from Egypt was the largest trial included and showed the most improvement with ivermectin.

TBH, I don't think he's genuinely trying to change anyone's mind. I think he's more interested in virtue signaling.It's amazing to me that his approach, and it's not just his, is how people think they will change anyone's mind on anything. Trying to shame people doesn't work. Talking down to people doesn't work. Transparency works. Something Fauci should have considered before he was caught lying.
Delta wave in NY may be cresting/have crested. Positivity never got above 4%.
If I do (which considering my vaccination status, age, level of health, and following of CDC recommended protocols would be highly unlikely) I will have gotten a bad draw for sure. I trust the doctors would do everything they can to help anyone in that situation. But thanks for your concern.so if you catch Covid and end up in the hospital be sure to tell them not to try any treatments - you was vaxxed afterall
Isnt that exactly what the vaccine is? Some mix of rando chemicals designed to help.Continue searching for the perfect cocktail of horse tranquilizers, essential oils, disenfectants, and prayers to whatever god you have.
