“Vaccine immunity is between 10 and 18 times stronger than natural immunity” – Dr. Chris Barbara

Feb 22 2021 Share

In a TVAM interview on Monday morning, virologist Dr. Chris Barbara stated that it is calculated that immunity developed from the vaccine is between 10 and 18 times stronger than the natural immunity developed after contracting the virus.

Dr. Barbara went on to express the importance of taking the COVID-19 vaccine, even if one had already contracted the virus due to natural immunity not lasting too long.

The virologist also revealed that the most common variants are those of the United Kingdom and Brazil and since they are more contagious, these variants are quickly taking the place of the original virus and if we continue to work to mitigate their spread, they will decrease rapidly.
