Those developing breakthrough CoVid after full vaccination with the Pfizer vaccine were 3.5 times more likely to reach their predicted exercise capacity compared with unvaccinated CoVid patients.  The the conclusion of an Israeli study of 43 participants who developed CoVid during the Delta-predominant era.

 

Of the 43, 15 were vaccinated and 43 were unvaccinated, and testing was completed on average 3 months following their acute infections.  At that time, the pulmonary function parameters were similar in the vaccinated and the unvaccinated groups yet the aerobic fitness of the vaccinated group was 14% higher than that of the unvaccinated.  Half of the unvaccinated group had fitness levels less than 80% of that predicted for them versus only 14% of those in the vaccinated group.

 

So vaccination not only protects you from infection.  It also maintains superior heart and lung function for those who sadly become infected despite vaccination.
