What about natural immunity with these current iterations? Early on I went through covid without much symptomatically, then got Moderna regiment about a year later and developed some ongoing symptoms. If there are potential new vaccines coming out why not wait, or if you had covid 6-9 mos. go, should you wait for a new vaccine given the benefits of natural immunity? Just think if Dr. Poland mentions masking he'd address all aspects that in fact are real. Is the chance for "long covid" the same, higher given the new variants. That is if you had very manageable symptoms and no long covid with omicron or delta variant how does that translate to the threat represented by new variants?

In the recent past, if you had Covid you had good protection against getting Covid. In this latest podcast, Poland said that with the extremely highly transmissible variants, you can get Covid even if you had all your shots, and even if you had Covid previously. In his last podcast he said they are seeing more reinfections than in the past; having Covid is not the protection that it once was.
