No, your antibodies are not better than vaccination: An explainer

&gt;<i>In the US, however, public health officials are unequivocal in their approach: people are categorized as either vaccinated or unvaccinated, regardless of prior infection. It&#x27;s an approach with many strengths, including robust scientific data supporting vaccination for people who have recovered. That data—which we&#x27;ll get into below—has consistently shown that immune responses from natural infections are extremely variable, thus unreliable.</i><p>It&#x27;s easier to prove this with data when multi-billion dollar industries sell vaccines, domestically and globally...

&gt; The US approach also has logistical benefits. Simple categories of &quot;vaccinated&quot; and &quot;unvaccinated&quot; skip over the messy and difficult step of figuring out who has been infected and when.<p>And WHY is this difficult and messy? We made a herculean effort to push out a new medicine, but we can&#x27;t do the same for natural immunity detection?<p>&gt; Though opponents argue that mass vaccination is driven by &quot;evil corporations&quot; out for prodigious profits at all costs<p>Not that long ago they would rather you die than cover costs for pre-existing conditions (as one example). They are incentivized by profit, and saying otherwise is a fringe theory.

I&#x27;ve said this before and I will say it again, the whole &quot;No, ....&quot; style of headline is so condescending and confrontational that the people it needs to persuade aren&#x27;t going to bother reading it.<p>Is it so hard to write a headline like &quot;An explanation as to why antibodies are not better than vaccination&quot;? Or something like that. Must journalists feel the need to talk down to people?

Stupid fight and not a problem in EU where infection that is confirmed by PCR test is also a valid option for EU COVID-19 certificate. Unfortunately it only lasts for 6 months but some member states are considering to extend this period.
