By the time the federal government required that all its employees, including members of the military, be vaccinated with the COVID-19 vaccine, approximately one-third of the country had contracted COVID-19 at least once. Further, a significant number of the people who had been vaccinated had contracted COVID despite the vaccination, many multiple times. (A Cleveland Clinic study subsequently demonstrated that the more vaccinations one got, the higher the infection rate).
The evolution of the SARS-CoV-2 virus necessitates a more nuanced approach to assessing the potential impact of vaccination than when the original vaccines were developed. Additional factors beyond vaccine effectiveness need to be considered. The association of increased risk of COVID-19 with higher numbers of prior vaccine doses in our study, was unexpected. A simplistic explanation might be that those who received more doses were more likely to be individuals at higher risk of COVID-19. A small proportion of individuals may have fit this description. However, the majority of subjects in this study were generally young individuals and all were eligible to have received at least 3 doses of vaccine by the study start date, and which they had every opportunity to do. Therefore, those who received fewer than 3 doses (>45% of individuals in the study) were not those ineligible to receive the vaccine, but those who chose not to follow the CDC’s recommendations on remaining updated with COVID-19 vaccination, and one could reasonably expect these individuals to have been more likely to have exhibited higher risk-taking behavior. Despite this, their risk of acquiring COVID-19 was lower than those who received a larger number of prior vaccine doses. This is not the only study to find a possible association with more prior vaccine doses and higher risk of COVID-19. A large study found that those who had an Omicron variant infection after previously receiving three doses of vaccine had a higher risk of reinfection than those who had an Omicron variant infection after previously receiving two doses of vaccine [21]. Another study found that receipt of two or three doses of a mRNA vaccine following prior COVID-19 was associated with a higher risk of reinfection than receipt of a single dose [7]. We still have a lot to learn about protection from COVID-19 vaccination, and in addition to a vaccine’s effectiveness it is important to examine whether multiple vaccine doses given over time may not be having the beneficial effect that is generally assumed.
Anthony Fauci was a key proponent of the universal vaccine requirement, as well as a strong advocate for forcing all Americans, regardless of employer, to get the jab.
He also knew that the vaccine was less effective at preventing infection and severe disease than prior infection, as one would expect. After all, the vaccine's mechanism for action was trying to mimic the same exposure of the immune system to the spike protein on COVID viruses as one would get from exposure to the virus itself.
EXCLUSIVE: Fauci Privately Called Natural Immunity Data ‘Impressive’ Before Forcing Jabs On Americans https://t.co/8Id3kU7pb2 via @emilyakopp

Federal officials were desperate to get every American vaccinated, and no doubt they believed that for some of the population that had yet to be infected, the balance of cost versus benefit was positive. That population, though, was only for a portion of the people who had not been previously infected who also had multiple other risk factors.
In other words, for anybody who had suffered a previous infection or who was otherwise healthy, the vaccine presented more risk of harm than good. Their explanation for choosing to insist that the vaccine was safe and effective for everyone was that they didn't want to present a "mixed message" and that it was easier to communicate a blanket recommendation than a nuanced one.
Except...the vaccine is not entirely benign. It has risks, and imposing those risks on people who didn't need to take it is unethical.
Fauci's knowledge that the vaccine was less efficacious than natural immunity came from the most studied population in the world: Israel. The studies there showed that the vaccine did not provide as good protection as having gotten the disease. Fauci knew that, agreed that the study was "impressive," and then buried the results.
Former President Joe Biden’s top pandemic response officials discussed a thorough study from Israel showing the superiority of natural infection in August 2021, simultaneous with the initiation of federal vaccine mandates via an Aug. 24 Pentagon memo, according to documents obtained through the Freedom of Information Act by Protect the Public’s Trust, indicating officials who helped compel COVID shots had contemporaneous scientific evidence they were unjustifiable for millions of Americans. The officials distorted the evidence in public statements, repeatedly saying vaccination is necessary for immunity.

“What does it say about our own institutions that, despite billions spent every year, Americans had to rely on Israeli research for their health information, and that our own officials tried to bury what didn’t fit their preferred narrative?” Protect the Public’s Trust Director Michael Chamberlain told the Daily Caller News Foundation. “There’s been a lot of handwringing about reforms and personnel actions by the new leadership at HHS, but this is just more evidence that the public health bureaucracy was ripe for a thorough housecleaning.”
The revelation comes amid an ongoing investigation under President Donald Trump’s Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Commissioner Marty Makary into deaths following the COVID vaccines in children and young adults. Further details could uncover whether people died from shots mandated by Biden administration officials aware of their redundancy for people with prior immunity. (RELATED: Sen. Ron Johnson Demands Documents About ‘Blockbuster’ Memo On Child Deaths Following COVID Vaccine)
Let me say this again: Fauci knew that the vaccine was not entirely benign; there were over a million reports of possible dangerous side effects, including deaths, and an acknowledged danger of myocarditis induced by the vaccine, yet he and others argued everybody should be forced to get the vaccine even when it was known that it was less effective than natural immunity. Over 30% of the population had natural immunity, but he and others allowed no exceptions for these people, putting them at risk.
Privately, Fauci and National Institutes of Health (NIH) Director Francis Collins acknowledged the strength of an Israeli study, featured in the news division of the prestigious journal Science, showing people who had recovered from a natural infection were 13 times more protected against subsequent infections than those vaccinated with the Pfizer vaccine. Publicly, the NIH launched a public relations blitz for indiscriminate vaccine mandates.
“The data [in the Israeli study] as reported in the news article look rather impressive . . . . but I would imagine that it is more complicated than we think . . . . [I]t is conceivable and possibly likely that those who have had a serious systemic infection develop a high level of immunity that even surpasses that of full vaccination,” Fauci conceded in an Aug. 27, 2021 email with the subject line “RE: Post infection protection vs vaccine immunity.”
Despite awareness of the “impressive data” showing the strength of natural immunity by August, Fauci advocated for broad vaccine mandates in media appearances throughout the fall.
People lost their jobs, military members were expelled from the service, all to promote a policy that was known to be dangerous and unnecessary for 100 million or more people.
That should be criminal; it certainly violates federal policy and medical ethics.
Fauci lied to Congress and the American public and repeatedly withheld data that contradicted his narrative. He conspired to deceive us regarding the origins of COVID and is currently getting the highest pension in US government history.
We live in insane times.
