But You Can’t Post This on Instagram

Previous Covid Prevents Delta Infection Better Than Pfizer Shot – Bloomberg

People who recovered from a bout of Covid-19 during one of the earlier waves of the pandemic appear to have a lower risk of contracting the delta variant than those who got two doses of the vaccine from Pfizer Inc. and BioNTech SE.

The largest real-world analysis comparing natural immunity -- gained from an earlier infection -- to the protection provided by one of the most potent vaccines currently in use showed that reinfections were much less common. The paper from researchers in Israel contrasts with earlier studies, which showed that immunizations offered better protection than an earlier infection, though those studies were not of the delta variant.

As I said earlier, though, you can’t post this on Instagram.

Instagram has blocked the results page for the use of the hashtag #naturalimmunity.

When the hashtag is selected, Instagram says, “This hashtag is hidden,” and that “Posts for #naturalimmunity have been limited because the community has reported some content that may not meet Instagram’s Community Guidelines.”

Good thing our Big Tech Overlords are watching out for us and protecting us from this dangerous “disinformation”—that might save lives.
