Dr. Scott Atlas : Vaccines Work, But Natural Immunity Should Not Be Ignored | CLIP
Dr. Scott Atlas says that the end point for the pandemic should be to focus on reducing the risk of hospitalization and death, not reducing the rate of infection with COVID-19. He says that even if the efficacy of vaccines for preventing infections wanes of over time, the vaccines do still work in reducing risk for hospitalization and death. Even still, Atlas warns against ignoring the natural immunity aspect of the equation, citing data showing that natural immunity from previous infection still continues to be the most effective way of preventing serious illness and reinfection.
