And yes I was vaccinated but missed my third jab and caught it on holiday in France. So, like many studies such things are useful but in a strictly controlled environment only is an indication not the be all and end all. In science there are no absolute answers only possibilities. | |||

Of course, 1 of the consequences of potentially getting infection-derived immunity, is that you may need hospitalisation and may die. Those are consequences that are avoidable and highly costly to others, potentially helping others to die too. I'd not be comfortable with that.
In any event, there are mixed conclusions from the research. As Campbell doesn't appear to have appropriate expertise in epidemiology etc, that I'd not even consider looking anywhere else other than in the recognised professional literature, for evidence that's peer-reviewed. Certainty not on a quack's paradise, where such dubious charlatans may promote unsubstantiated points that they earn money from, without any of the oversight, responsibilities or honesty that true professionals and global networks of expertise invest. | |||

" John is an interesting chap, decent enough nurse but like many people he has a weakness for being told how great he is." I can't speak to that. I do watch his overviews with an objective eye and, whilst he does have a bias which is shown in his choice of studies, he seems to present them fairly and simply for the lay man. It is frustrating when people criticise without having watched any of his output. The worst is when they sat that, as a nurse, he is unqualified to do this. I would argue that those inside the health care bubble are more biased in their assessment and that why I don't listen to drug peddlers. Ivor Cummins, for example, is an engineer and his analysis of the government statistics is enlightened as he approaches from a different perspective. If you haven't watched his Covid content, it's worth a watch. Doctors are invested in the allopathic model of "care of the sick" and do not have a rounded view of their subject. They are a product of the pharmaceutical sponsored medical education system and risk discipline procedures if they do not follow "guidelines". How can you expect these people to be unbiased in their assessment of what went on in the pandemic. The "quacks" are able to quack because their livelihoods do not depend on following big pharma's narrative. | |||

"As somebody pointed out .. natural immunity to Polio, Measles etc. These are traditional vaccines and very very different to the Covid vaccine. If you rely on Pharma and rubbish food, lack of excersise to dictate your life then your immunity will be compromised. People can't even be bothered to wash their cars these days let alone look after themselves.....Ramming loads of vaccines into kids is a recipe for disaster. The body is the ultimate machine, you put something foreign into it and there will be a reaction. Pharma is all about profit . ..they want you sick" its people not getting their children vaccinated that has led to a recent increase in diseases such as measles and mumps... even polio has been on the rise. As more and more parents are refusing to let their children be vaccinated. | |||

We may get irreparable damage to organs and their failure, or death instead.
Vaccines give a precise, measured dose that have predictable immune responses . We'll know the proportion of those with good effective immunity, how much death and serious illness are prevented and are able to see the cost effectiveness of vaccination versus the preventable damage.
Vaccines or infections trigger the same immune systems responses. Millions of lives have been and are secured. Countless grief prevented. It's tragic that singular acts by the likes of the fraudulent peoples' acts, like the discredited Wakefield pose such threats to the wellbeing of humanity. All whilst we have the technology and medical expertise to keep us safe.
We'll undoubtedly have future pandemics and we should prepare for them, not losing the experience that we've gained. Vaccines will almost certainly be a big part of this. | |||

"I don't see a natural immunity to TB over the years, I thought thats why we all got a job at school. What a stupid comparison.. Also FYI If you did aquire a TB infection your body would develop enough natural immunity to make it inactive although not enough to clear it.So what about the 1.6 million that TB killed in 2022? Why did they not develop natural immunity. Mrs x I think you have to be born with this natural immunity type, you know just like stupidity, it's a pre-defined gene. Well I think that because I've just been to Tesco and they had no stock and didn't know what it was. Another nonsensical post Do you think so....you'd think with all this cancer kicking about for thousands of years, the body would have developed a natural immunity to that as well.

" Vaccines give a precise, measured dose " With traditional vaccines yes. Mrna vaccines are different due to your body actually making the antigen. This obviously can differ from person to person and in some cases by a substantial amount. | |||

" Vaccines or infections trigger the same immune systems responses. Millions of lives have been and are secured. Countless grief prevented. " The Covid 19 vaccine and the infection immune system responses are different and are not the same.. I do agree with you though, that potentially millions of lives globally of sick and vulnerable people have been saved by the vaccines. | |||

"The study quoted is interesting but pretty irrelevant now. The vast majority of people in the UK have now had covid and so have "natural immunity". A more relevant question is to compare those who have had the vaccine and covid against those who have just had covid. Not surprisingly those who have both do better as the vaccine and infection stimulate the immune system in different ways. Protection at 12 months after the vaccine against hospital admission is 97.4% vs 74.6% for those without. If you would like to read the paper which is a meta-analysis of 26 studies combined the doi is 10.1136/bmj.p171" It's floored if the study is grouping all non vaccinated people into one group. If you have old and vulnerable people, that are at serious risk of becoming very ill or dieing not having the vaccine when they should that is really going to screw the data. | |||

If you told me that my tb jab was gonna be sooo effective I could still catch TB multiple times, despite many doses and boosters, I'd prob pass on that too. | |||

"I've had vaccines and covid multiple times. Does that make me super immune? My friend group recently had an outbreak of it. Despite being around everyone when they believe it was passed around there was only me and one other who didn't catch it or I was asymptomatic and not showing as infected on a test." Have you been on the company of someone with the cold and not caught the cold. I've had it twice now, to be honest it was relatively worse than a bad cold but not as bad as full blown flu. I'm relatively fit and healthy, however I've a mate who was just about over the edge. There is a lot of mumbo jumbo kicking about and in the day and age even more Internet doctors, scientists and theologians. However my last word on this is the human body does not create antibodies that last a life time in 24 months. The doctors are the best place to give us advice and care on how to look after ourself and it is proven beyond doubt without the jab the death toll would have been far far higher in any statistic. Enjoy the thread, I'm out. | |||

I would never have guessed you have had a ABI so hope it is not affecting you to much.
I think it's fair to say at one point MSM and health bodies where implying that the vaccine was alot more effective at stopping the spread of infection than it is. This has lead to alot of misconceptions for the public that people still repeat today.
I just enjoy reading and learning I have bias like everyone else but I'm not tribal and Im happy to change my position depending on what I have read.
Mucosal immune response from COVID-19 vaccine.

Individual response to Spike protein production posy vaccine l.
"Indeed, in a woman with mRNA-1273 COVID-19 vaccine-induced thrombocytopenia, plasma S protein levels 10 days after vaccination were 10 ng/ml [6], thus nearly 100 times higher than those reported by Ogata and colleagues in vaccinated subjects with no apparent adverse effects [2], pointing to possibly excessive vaccine-induced production of S protein, in turn attaining concentrations high enough to significantly bind targets such as ACE2, and eventually resulting in vaccine toxicity."

"As a rule I don’t blindly trust big corporations but those fines indicate that some balances are in place against corporate greed. On balance I’m glad the pharma industry exists!" There is definitely a balance to be had. I was just reading this on the bbc... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-66885389 And in particular this paragraph... " " In 2010, fewer than 40,000 people died from a drug overdose across the country, and fewer than 10% of those deaths were tied to fentanyl. By 2021, more than 100,000 people had died annually in drug overdoses, with an estimated 66% of those tied to fentanyl." Now I have no idea what fentanyl does... But pharma have created a drug that has killed over 66k a year in the US... Whilst it's abuse of drggs... I can't help feeling there must be some responsibility for making something so toxic, so widely available to such people. | |||

"Did you also hear about the study? Apparently israel have done a study and the outcome of it shows that natural immunity wins. What they were able to do was to get 2 groups, one group that havent had the vaccine and the other group who have had the vaccine. Although many had both, the so called hybrid immunity, so therefor they could compare the two. They found that people with the natural infection, were 13 times less likely to get reinfected. When it come to symptomatic infection, people who had the natural infection, but werent vaccinated were 27 times less likely to get symptomatic infection. What is your view about their study and natural immunity? I agree that natural immunity is superior "natural immunity, like in 18th century, when people were dying of tetanus. The vaccine against tetanus allowed massive progress in controlling the disease. The result — 89 percent reduction in tetanus cases and deaths since 1990. | |||

"As a rule I don’t blindly trust big corporations but those fines indicate that some balances are in place against corporate greed. On balance I’m glad the pharma industry exists! There is definitely a balance to be had. I was just reading this on the bbc... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-66885389 And in particular this paragraph... " " In 2010, fewer than 40,000 people died from a drug overdose across the country, and fewer than 10% of those deaths were tied to fentanyl. By 2021, more than 100,000 people had died annually in drug overdoses, with an estimated 66% of those tied to fentanyl." Now I have no idea what fentanyl does... But pharma have created a drug that has killed over 66k a year in the US... Whilst it's abuse of drggs... I can't help feeling there must be some responsibility for making something so toxic, so widely available to such people. Analgesia. Most often used as patches in palliative care. 66k people died from patches? Isn't that even worse? The issue with fentanyl in the US isn't even prescriptions. It's the tainted other drugs coming from Mexico that are killing most. People are buying c*ke and then ODing because its laced with fentanyl." Exactly and the dose of Fentanyl needed to OD is tiny | |||

Fentanyl is a commonly used GA, like any drug if it is abused it’ll prove harmful, just the same as paracetamol. Only it's really not the same as paracetamol is it? It's 50 times stronger than heroine and is responsible for over 66k deaths in the USA. Parecetamol is responsible for 500.... They are both drugs but thats where the similarity ends surely. One is available over the counter one is script only. Which part of Fentanyl is used as a GA confused you? You said you didn’t know what it was used for, so we explained. I don't think it was your explanation that Fentanyl is used as a GA that confused him probably more to do with the false equivocation you made to paracetamol. Both pain killers. Both dangerous if overdosing on. One clearly more dangerous than the other... One killed 66k people a year in the USA. The other killed 500.

"Did you also hear about the study? Apparently israel have done a study and the outcome of it shows that natural immunity wins. What they were able to do was to get 2 groups, one group that havent had the vaccine and the other group who have had the vaccine. Although many had both, the so called hybrid immunity, so therefor they could compare the two. They found that people with the natural infection, were 13 times less likely to get reinfected. When it come to symptomatic infection, people who had the natural infection, but werent vaccinated were 27 times less likely to get symptomatic infection. What is your view about their study and natural immunity?

"The problem of saying 'I'm gonna get infected to get immunity' is you might be one of those people that end up in the hospital or die," said Christopher Murray, the director of the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) at the University of Washington and the study's senior author. "Why would you take the risk when you can get immunity through vaccination quite safely?" | |||

We have to remove the criminal element of supply from discussion because that is not the fault of the creator or prescriber. We have to be aware regulations are totally different between the UK and the US. There are milder drugs in use in the UK that are limited over the counter and monitored by GPs prescribing, due to potential addiction. I state potential because, even though one is at risk of addiction that doesn't mean every user becomes addicted. | |||

As Fentanyl use is relatively new we will most likely see this increase exponential over the next decade. | |||

"Given how important it is for us to get the vaccine, it’s a miracle that humanity, and life in general, managed to survive for millions of years before vaccines were invented! As you can tell, I’m pro vaccine When most children did not see their first birthdays and life expectancies was no greater than 35-40 years. Oh yes, under these conditions, a few somehow managed to survived over 45.
There were 150 of us living in shoe box in middle of t'road. I had to walk barefoot to school in the snow, uphill both ways! "I remember those times. Had to get up early in the morning, half an hour before we went to bed | |||

"So is coffee, doesn't make it any less of a ridiculous comparison. Well let’s agree to disagree shall we. The adverage person would require a dose of 12,000 mg of paracetamol to OD vs only 2mg of Fentanyl. That's less than 2 packets of shop own brand (24 tablets, 12g). And doesn't take that much to affect your liver hence the warning on the packet not to take more than 4g a day. Your missing the point.. If just one of those tablets was fentanyl and you cut that one tiny 500mg table into 250 smaller pieces that would be enough Fentanyl to kill you.. Just think how small that actually is for a second. I'm ignoring your point and highlighting mine - accessibility. Well if your going to be willfully ignorant there's no point discussing it with you.
I'll rephrase, side-stepping your point to make a more valid point, IMHO, because we are in the UK, paracetamol is cheap and easily available. I could amass a mountain of packets of paracetamol and zero fentanyl today. In that scenario paracetamol is more dangerous. "To you and the bubble you live in absolutely. That would also be the experience of most law abideing people but to people with different lives and less privilege it's just as easy to obtain illegal drugs, in fact easier as drug dealers deliver these days just like ordering a takeaway!  | |||

The point I was making was in the US. Because that's a bigger market for pharma companies and what will motivate their values more. But yes in the UK big pharma are all good. "The supply of fentanyl in the US is from Illegal sources and not through the medical system. Illegal gangs have realised that it is way more addictive than Heroin. OxyContin was definitely a Pharma/ Sackler family driven epidemic. This Fentanyl crisis has nothing to do with Pharma. | |||

"Total fucking bollocks Israel s country built in religion not science " Israel has the most scientists,technicians and engineers per captia in the world, they have nothing to gain or lose by publishing infomation like this,they are just presenting unbiased scientific facts,the way science should be done. If vaccines produced a better immune response over natural immunity then they would have published that instead.  | |||

"Total fucking bollocks Israel s country built in religion not science " This is a common misunderstanding. Zionism is not Judaism. There are many Judaists who are no zionists, and many zionists who are not judaists. What you have in Israel now is the capture of, or exposure of the zionist movement by/as fascist apartheidists. They don't really care for their citizens, perhaps that's why they jabbed them all? | |||
