Opinion: Don’t believe the hype around Djokovic - catching COVID is no substitute for the jab

Amid all the hype surrounding the Novak Djokovic saga, one troubling myth needs to be dispelled: that being infected with SARS-CoV-2 and recovering from COVID-19 provides adequate immunity from the disease, making vaccination unnecessary.

Novak Djokovic may have argued his brush with COVID meant he did not need immediate vaccination, but don’t think that’s all you need to be protected.With each vaccination, protective immune response expands, refines and better equips the army poised to protect against future infection. If the virus enters and attaches to cells of the upper airways, an immune system primed by vaccinations is both more potent and more rapidly activated.

For the unvaccinated but not yet infected, the message is clear: the extremely contagious Omicron variant changes your risk calculation and you need to forego hesitancy, resist peer pressure and get vaccinated. The Omicron strain does cause serious disease, albeit less frequently than Delta. Further, 10 per cent of current infections are caused by Delta.in the current wave and thousands face “long COVID” in the months and years to come.

For the many double vaccinated who have recently acquired COVID-19, the infection should be seen as equivalent to a booster. But still get your booster. It is safe to do so, but the benefit is likely to be greater if left for at least a month after symptoms have settled.

Hitler's Germany had racial lows, but Jessy Ovens still had right to compete, unlike Novak in AO! Even Nazis had more sense then australian goverment! WeStandWithNovak AustralianClosed austardsgoverment

Agree.

Seeing of the 36 Covid fatalities in NSW yesterday 33 were fully vaccinated, I was longing for an opinion piece which reassured me my regular chemical injections would confer immunity. I knew I could rely on the Sydney Pharma Herald to come up with the goods. Pfizer needs you 💘

Pigs ass .. so the jab is better than natural immunity all of a sudden.. Should be don't believe your hype..

“Resist peer pressure and go get vaccinated” - Is this a typo? Or are you both out of touch with reality?

Yes but the elephant in the room tells me that he didn't have covid on 16 December

Hahaha ok yes thank you government mouth piece. We only trust our supreme leaders, not science nor facts 😂

the stated goal in the creation of this mutant virus, was that it would be an aerosol recombinant vaccine for bats, in order to ironically enough stop a future pandemic. of course natural immunity is many times better than a jab. but shoot up toxic proteins if you want

And here in the uk they have taken plasma from those who have had covid because they’ve built immunity which was I used to treat very sick People misinformation to support your governments behaviour this week is disgusting

Where do you people find your information the vaccines don’t even include the coronavirus so how can yoh state this when you get covid you get a natural immunity. And omicron isn’t even much more than a bad cold the migration of the virus is weakening and becoming abs endemic !!!

I thought we were following the science? 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️ He has had 2 covid infections now...

where is all this coming from? Since when is generic vaccine more effective as compared to the more complex natural immunity? I also don’t see the logic or proof in getting a booster after recently contracting Covid.

Of course not. The antibody is much better than taken the Jab. BUT..! has he really got Covid recently The point is our wonderful Government under PM leadership just make a mess..!

It is no longer safe to enter Australia. God bless America’s Bill of Rights.

There is no proof at all that substantiates the claims that having had Covid a person is immune. The only hope of immunity comes with the discovery by scientists of an immune solution which does not appear to be being funded adequately since we get no reports of progress

Give it a rest . You are a propaganda machine for big pharma. Stop spreading lies. Anyone with a brain knows getting the jab is safer than catching C19, but jabbed or not for most people going through C19 illness is not a walk in the park. Leave Novak out of your 🐂💩 news.

Fake news

world_news_eng You should review your sources.

There was a study in Israel that proved that natural immunity after catching covid was 13 times stronger than the v a c c i me Don't take my word for it Anyone can Google this up

First word of the story … “Opinion”. More MSM falling in line with the narrative. Can’t allow any of those pesky skeptics asking questions.

'The natural immune protection that develops after a SARS-CoV-2 infection offers considerably more of a shield against the Delta variant of the pandemic coronavirus than two doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, according to a large Israeli study'

It's 13x better...
