What "2.34 times" is referencing is two groups had COVID-19 but one of them got the vaccine as well. In which case the COVID-19 + Vaccine group has less chance of reinfection compared to those who only had COVID-19.
The original article does mention that COVID-19 + infection does provide more protection as well I believe.
- dataflow 5y agoYou're only looking at "protection". It's not just about that individual. That's only half the story. Transmissibility is the other half. Think about it this way: if we could tell already-vaccinated people to get COVID for extra reduction of transmissions (!), we would do that too. For obvious reasons, we don't do that. But this clearly doesn't apply in the reverse direction!
