All immunity is “natural,” Dr. Carlos Del Rio, president-elect of the Infectious Disease Society of America...Vaccines are “natural” too. Dr. Rochelle Walensky, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, agreed with this.
Pay attention to the misreference...trying to define the term "natural" in reference to the body producing antibodies and opposed to how the body obtained its immunity. From the CDC's page:
Active Immunity results when exposure to a disease organism triggers the immune system to produce antibodies to that disease. Active immunity can be acquired through natural immunity or vaccine-induced immunity.
- Natural immunity is acquired from exposure to the disease organism through infection with the actual disease.
- Vaccine-induced immunity is acquired through the introduction of a killed or weakened form of the disease organism through vaccination.
So why would the CDC and Infectious Disease Society use active immunity's definition for natural immunity? You're starting to hear more and more about natural immunity and government entities as a whole have pretty much refused to recognize natural immunity relating to covid restrictions. I'm betting the media starts to jump all over this and will simply continue to use this misreference and redefine the terms. Pretty soon, natural immunity will mean those that are vaccinated. You'll support it if it's natural right?
