> Sure, it is better, but it was not by much during delta wave when these decisions were made. mRNA vaccine protection dropped during delta, but only because that technology wanes after a few months. J&J (and other traditional vaccines) have lower but more durable protection. The conclusion would be that getting vaccinated and boostered is still much safer than getting Covid without any vaccination. > Well, if you are not clearly open about this, you are hurting the trust. Natural immunity was less protective against Covid than recent vaccination. The CDC also just released a study about how effective natural immunity is. There's no reason for them to hide it or lie about it because it doesn't change the basic fact that it's safer to get vaccinated than to acquire natural immunity by getting the disease. That's what all the official messaging says: natural immunity is protective, but it's much safer to just get a vaccine before you're infected.
