charlie > But natural immunity did not provide protection against the omicron variant.
It provided, similar to the vaccine, protection from severe outcomes in part due to T-cell immunity that is more general than antibodies and come to play after someone is infected.
What we really need for non-vaccinated is a way to get exposed to a light case. For example, make them come into an infected room for 2 minutes [this will avoid possible exposure for 2 hours]. Or, better, release a weakened variant (either find a natural one or engineer). Of course, FDA that had hard time understanding the value of imperfect home tests, will not approve of such “unethical” path even as it will save millions of lives.
