Poll Shows that ‘Science-Loving’ Democrats Don’t Believe in Natural Immunity
A new poll finds that Democrats — who claim to be the only people who follow science — don’t believe in natural immunity against the coronavirus.
Natural immunity gained after a viral infection is often better — or at least as good — as the immunity one gets from a vaccine. Certainly, gaining immunity by catching a virus is riskier than simply taking a vaccine. However, if one does catch something and comes through it, the virus is usually the loser.
This is science. This is not politics.
But the so-called party of science doesn’t believe in facts. According to a new poll, Democrat voters don’t believe in the truth of natural immunity.
The poll comes from Rasmussen.
“Those who have previously been infected with COVID-19 acquire natural immunity, providing ‘robust protection against COVID-19 for at least six to eight months after infection,’ according to the World Health Organization,” Rasmussen states in its analysis of the results. “The same is true of vaccines. However, most Democrats (61%) believe vaccines are more effective than natural immunity in protecting against COVID-19, while just 17% think natural immunity offers more protection, and only 13% correctly believe vaccines and natural immunity are equally effective.”
However, the poll found that the views of Republicans and independents are more in line with reality.
“Among Republicans, 43% think natural immunity is more effective in protecting against COVID-19, and just 25% believe getting vaccinated offers more protection, while 24% correctly say vaccines and natural immunity are equally effective,” Rasmussen states. “Among those unaffiliated with either major party, 33% think vaccines are more effective, 31% believe natural immunity is more effective, and 26% correctly answer that vaccines and natural immunity are equally effective in protecting against COVID-19.”
Meanwhile, a study from Israel finds that natural immunity is better than vaccines.
“Confirmed infection rates increased according to time elapsed since the last immunity-conferring event in all cohorts,” the study states. “For unvaccinated previously infected individuals they increased from 10.5 per 100,000 risk-days for those previously infected 4-6 months ago to 30.2 for those previously infected over a year ago. For individuals receiving a single dose following prior infection they increased from 3.7 per 100,000 person days among those vaccinated in the past two months to 11.6 for those vaccinated over 6 months ago. For vaccinated previously uninfected individuals the rate per 100,000 person days increased from 21.1 for persons vaccinated within the first two months to 88.9 for those vaccinated more than 6 months ago.”
And remember, the so-called “vaccines” they are touting for the coronavirus aren’t really vaccines. They are more like palliatives. They aren’t tried and tested, real vaccines such as those for polio, mumps, and other common diseases that have been held to near non-existence singe their origination.
These polls show that Democrats don’t believe in science.
