The Vaccine Protects Better than Recovery
by Yisroel Rosner
Encouraging news from the Health Ministry: the level of antibodies resulting from the Pfizer vaccine is higher than in people who have recovered naturally.
In a hearing which took place this past Monday in the Legislative Committee for Law and Justice in the Knesset, Dr. Ro'i Singer, assistant director of Epidemiology of the Health Ministry, stated that according to studies made by Pfizer, the body of one who received the shot possesses more antibodies than that of one who recovered from the virus on his own.
Dr. Singer maintains that "regarding the vaccine, we have discovered something very surprising during the process of certification thereof: the level of antibodies which it produces is higher than that of one who contracted the virus and recuperated naturally. I don't know if there is any other disease like this where the vaccine protects more efficiently than contracting the disease itself. This regards a study of forty thousand people, certainly a significant amount."
A similar factor was found in Pfizer studies on the primary figures of the serological survey which took place on Monday in the Sheba hospital, a week after the second vaccine was given.
According to the results, over 98% of those who received the second vaccine developed neutralizing antibodies against Corona.
