Correct. Those in communist led countries must follow the mandates or face the consequences.

If you didn't know masks are required in airports you must have been living under a rock.

Booster is available for those over 65.

Crossing the border from Canada to the USA is like being in two different worlds - masks in Canada, few masks in the USA. I know the world I prefer!

Maybe that natural immunity myth started at the NIH

"The immune systems of more than 95% of people who recovered from COVID-19 had durable memories of the virus up to eight months after infection."

Lasting immunity found after recovery from COVID-19 | National Institutes of Health (NIH)

Or maybe the Israeli Department of Health started it

A new Israeli study on coronavirus immunity suggests that people who were previously infected with the virus benefit from significantly stronger and longer-lasting immunity than the immunity provided by vaccination alone.

This study demonstrated that natural immunity confers longer lasting and stronger protection against infection, symptomatic disease and hospitalization caused by the Delta variant of SARS-CoV-2, compared to the BNT162b2 two-dose vaccine-induced immunity. Individuals who were both previously infected with SARS-CoV-2 and given a single dose of the vaccine gained additional protection against the Delta variant..

Do you know the reason they stated 8 months?

It was because they ONLY HAD 8 MONTHS OF DATA!

Yep, Israel data showing strong protection 18 months after infection.

Oh please, be common and sophomoric. I'm sure most of those who posted on this thread would be interested in the qualifications needed to make some of the statements that were made. Or is it all "common sense"?????:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

It'd be great if there is long lasting protection after infection for anyone who gets symptomatic infection even if they get a MAT or pill version of an anti-viral. I.e. just ramp up the therapeutics and treat to get a solid sterilizing immunity in the widest possible cohort. Not saying vaccines don't have a place, just saying it's not the way out since the immune response is inferior.

You can have all of the education in the world, but without sense you can end up being a danger to yourself and others. I will leave out the basic silly memes.

And you're a surgeon with a doctorate. I think that trumps some of the rather ignorant posts that some have made.

I don't know, you'd have to ask that poster who is a surgeon, since I am not one. But I would imagine it is.
