  According to data from Israel, immunity from having gotten the infection is much better at stopping the delta variant by a factor of around 7x. Other research shows that natural immunity is long lasting. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-021-03647-4 https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-021-03647-4

      The link is for the second sentence. To quote from the abstract: > Overall, our results indicate that mild infection with SARS-CoV-2 induces robust antigen-specific, long-lived humoral immune memory in humans. As far as the reports from Israel: > By contrast, Israelis who were vaccinated were 6.72 times more likely to get infected after the shot than after natural infection, with over 3,000 of the 5,193,499, or 0.0578%, of Israelis who were vaccinated getting infected in the latest wave. https://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/309762 https://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/309762

        > The link is for the second sentence. Gotcha, that was not at all clear from your comment. Thanks for providing a citation for the other claims, I'll take a look at it.
