Fact-checking a claim raised at WVU about a coronavirus study in Israel
https://www.politifact.com/artic…
IF YOUR TIME IS SHORT
• A study done in Israel that is not yet peer reviewed found that people who had been infected with COVID-19 had greater protection than vaccinated people against becoming reinfected with the virus’ delta variant.
• The claim suggests that people are better off going unvaccinated. But peer-reviewed studies repeatedly have found that vaccinated people are more likely to avoid hospitalization or death if they become infected.

''Even a perfect response won’t end the pandemic. As long as the virus persists somewhere, there’s a chance that one infected traveler will reignite fresh sparks in countries that have already extinguished their fires.''
''Under these conditions, there are three possible endgames: one that’s very unlikely, one that’s very dangerous, and one that’s very long.''
''1. The first is that every nation manages to simultaneously bring the virus to heel, as with the original SARS in 2003. Given how widespread the coronavirus pandemic is, and how badly many countries are faring, the odds of worldwide synchronous control seem vanishingly small.''
''2.The second is that the virus does what past flu pandemics have done: It burns through the world and leaves behind enough immune survivors that it eventually struggles to find viable hosts. This “herd immunity” scenario would be quick, and thus tempting. But it would also come at a terrible cost: SARS-CoV-2 is more transmissible and fatal than the flu, and it would likely leave behind many millions of corpses and a trail of devastated health systems.''
''3. The third scenario is that the world plays a protracted game of whack-a-mole with the virus, stamping out outbreaks here and there until a vaccine can be produced. This is the best option, but also the longest and most complicated.''
