Previous studies show that mRNA CoVid vaccines induce stronger Covid 

neutralizing antibody responses than do natural CoVid infections, but a new Israeli study shows these infections protect equally well against a second infection and its consequences.

 

The numbers show that a natural infection is 94.8% protective against a recurrent one, 94.1% protective against hospitalization, and 96.4% protective against a severe case of CoVid.  In comparison, the Pfizer vaccine was 92.8% protective against a CoVid infection, 94.2% protective against hospitalization, 94.4% protective against a severe CoVid infection.

 

This data suggests that limited CoVid vaccine resources should go first to those never infected with CoVid.
