Multiple studies have shown that someone w a prior COVID infection who gets vaccinated is more protected than anyone else, incl those with only vaccination. “Natural immunity” from the infection alone isn’t good enough. https://t.co/bgUJQskHY7

I've worked on infectious disease outbreaks for 30 years. I've NEVER seen anything like the speed of Omicron. It's as infectious as measles spreading in a non-immune population, with a much shorter incubation time therefore much faster doubling time. Hope it's a lot less severe. pic.twitter.com/EtLfa4JKqd
