Natural immunity is not a new or controversial theory, but rather a scientific fact that has been understood for centuries. Even GW exempted those who had already had the disease. #KibbeOnLiberty w/ guest @RepThomasMassie @theblaze @BlazeTV https://t.co/G6FE74hPVh pic.twitter.com/x7wSllOy9O

Rep. Thomas Massie recently sat down with Free the People’s Matt Kibbe to discuss the CDC and White House’s refusal to acknowledge natural immunity, people who had already contracted COVID-19 becoming immune, throughout most of the pandemic. The congressman notes that many in the past understood such immunity existed, including America’s first president, George Washington.

Rep. Massie said, “The other thing I never really anticipated is that (President Joe Biden) would not know as much about science or medicine as George Washington.”

Massie said that those who insisted on vaccine mandates would use Washington’s smallpox orders as an example. The Kentucky congressman explained how they were getting it all wrong.

“Because that was the precedent,” Massie noted. “They always say ‘Oh, well George Washington made people get the smallpox inoculation.’ Well, go read his orders. In two places I can find in his orders, he said all of who have not had it, all of who had not had smallpox.”

Massie was indicating that Washington believed those who had already had smallpox should not be inoculated.

Including Washington himself.

“By the way, George Washington had had smallpox as an adolescent so he never took it either,” Massie added.

He finished, “He understood natural immunity and Joe Biden doesn’t.”

You don’t say?

Microsoft News reports, “People who had previously been infected with COVID-19 were better protected against the Delta variant than those who were vaccinated alone, suggesting that natural immunity was a more potent shield than vaccines against that variant, California and New York health officials reported on Wednesday.”

From my op-ed at Fox News, “The classical liberal economist Friedrich Hayek foresaw this debate when he wrote: ‘Most scientists realize that we cannot plan the advance of knowledge, that in the voyage into the unknown—which is what research is—we are in great measure dependent on the vagaries of individual genius and of circumstance, and that scientific advance, like a new idea that will spring up in a single mind, will be the result of a combination of conceptions, habits, and circumstances brought to one person by society, the result as much of lucky accidents as of systematic effort.’

In other words, the benefits of scientific progress are only realized if science is free from excessive restraint.

The same arguments against central planning for an economy also hold for science.  If, or rather when, the central planner errs the entire economy is threatened.  Likewise, when a central medical planner errs, all patients are threatened.

Anthony Fauci’s fundamental decision to ignore natural immunity has led to a cascade of bad decisions, the effects of which have seeped into all of our lives.  Ignoring the immunity that comes naturally with infection caused Fauci to underestimate the combined immunity in our country from vaccination and previous infection, leading him to advocate forced vaccination on everyone including those at very low risk, such as children and previously infected individuals.”

From the Brownstone Institute: “Public health officials and the medical establishment with the help of the politicized media are misleading the public with assertions that the COVID-19 shots provide greater protection than natural immunity.  CDC Director Rochelle Walensky, for example, was deceptive in her October 2020 published LANCET statement that ‘there is no evidence for lasting protective immunity to SARS-CoV-2 following natural infection’ and that ‘the consequence of waning immunity would present a risk to vulnerable populations for the indefinite future.’

“We should not force COVID vaccines on anyone when the evidence shows that naturally acquired immunity is equal to or more robust and superior to existing vaccines. Instead, we should respect the right of the bodily integrity of individuals to decide…” https://t.co/V6hfj0tLWS

Immunology and virology 101 have taught us over a century that natural immunity confers protection against a respiratory virus’s outer coat proteins, and not just one, e.g. the SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoprotein. There is even strong evidence for the persistence of antibodies. Even the CDC recognizes natural immunity for chicken-pox and measles, mumps, and rubella, but not for COVID-19.”

Brownstone Institute: “From the beginning of the March 2020 lockdowns for the SARS-CoV-2 virus, the subject of natural immunity (also called post-infection immunity) has been neglected. Once the vaccination became widely available, what began with near silence at the beginning turned nearly into a complete blackout of the topic.

30 Peer reviewed journal articles confirming natural immunity after Covid infection. Will Fauci now finally apologize to the 100 million or more Americans who’ve had COVID?

Even now, there is an absence of open discussion, presumably in the interests of promoting universal vaccination and required documentation of such vaccination as a condition of participating in public life and even the jobs marketplace. Still, the science exists. Many studies exist. Their authors deserve credit, recognition, and to have their voices heard.

These studies demonstrate what was and is already known: natural immunity for a SARS-type virus is robust, long-lasting, and broadly effective even in the case of mutations, generally more so than vaccines.”

Reuters reports, “Secondary immune response stronger after infection than vaccination…

The immune system response to infection appears to outshine its response to vaccines when it comes to memory B cells. Regardless of whether antibodies are induced by infection or vaccine, their levels drop within six months in many people. But memory B cells stand ready to produce new antibodies if the body encounters the virus…”
