A Becker News article published on February 15, 2022 titled, “The Lancet Publishes Medical Prof’s Warning That Natural Immunity Has Made Vaccine Mandates Irrelevant”.
In a Lancet letter from a “highly acclaimed professor of medicine at the University of Leeds” stating “recent findings on Covid natural immunity have made the vaccine mandates irrelevant. Furthermore, the mandates are unnecessarily exacerbating labor shortages in the medical field, which is harming patient care”.
Highlights of the letter include:
- There is “evidence of natural immunity in unvaccinated healthy US adults up to 20 months after confirmed COVID-19 infection”
- “Unclear how these antibody levels correlate with protection against future SARS-CoV-2 infections, particularly with emerging variants”.
- “Natural immunity after recovery from infection provides better protection than vaccination”
- Vaccination “needs to be undertaken annually because of waning vaccine immunity”
- “Individuals exposed to natural infection were ten-times less likely to be re-infected compared with vaccinated individuals without natural infection”

The Becker article goes on to identify a “Johns Hopkins University in January dropped a quiet bombshell about natural immunity that went widely ignored in the mainstream media. Dr. Marty Makary, spearheading a team at Johns Hopkins to do the work the CDC and NIH refused to do, showed that 99% of unvaccinated people known to have Covid infections had robust “natural immunity” that did not diminish for at least 650 days”.
In an example of the required adherence to maintain the Covid narrative in which a well-established evidence based principle was ignored, the Becker article shares the letter continues “systemic vaccination against viral respiratory tract pathogens, these individuals can still transmit virus to non-vaccinated individuals because of a lack of mucosal immunity,” he continued. Therefore, individuals with immunity resulting from natural infection are probably less likely to transmit the infection to vulnerable patients (who should themselves be vaccinated) compared with those who are vaccinated but not naturally immune. Long-term immunity in the upper airway cannot be directly measured, and serum antibody levels are not a surrogate for mucosal immunity.”
