New NCAA guidelines say athletes who had COVID will be considered fully vaccinated!

INDIANAPOLIS, Indiana (PNN) - January 10, 2022 - The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) on Thursday released its new COVID-19 guidance for winter sports, and the guidance contains some important news.

The NCAA’s COVID-19 Medical Advisory Group updated its definition of "fully vaccinated" to account for various new vaccinations, boosters, and immunity factors.

“Fully vaccinated individuals now include those who within two months of receiving the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, five months of receiving the Pfizer vaccine series, six months of receiving the Moderna vaccine series, and individuals who are beyond the aforementioned timeline and have received the booster vaccine.”

But perhaps the biggest development came in the following line.

“Individuals within 90 days of a documented COVID-19 infection fall within the equivalent of ‘fully vaccinated.’”

In many parts of the world, including the Fascist Police States of Amerika, “vaccine” passports are required for travel, even though such requirements are direct violations of international, and in many case, federal or national laws.

“Vaccine” passports are morally dubious for several reasons, but they seem particularly unjust for people who have already had COVID-19, since they have already been exposed to the virus and have acquired natural immunity. Some evidence, such as a medical study out of Israel published in October, suggests that people with natural immunity actually have more protection from COVID-19 than vaccinated individuals.

Dr. Anthony Fauci, the fascist Director of the National Institutes of Health and the Chief Medical Advisor to pretender Joe Biden, was recently asked about the Israeli study – specifically, if people naturally infected with COVID-19 had a lower risk of contracting the virus than those who received the “vaccine”. He refused to give a clear answer.

“I don’t have a really firm answer for you on that,” Fauci said. “That’s something that we’re going to have to discuss regarding the durability of the response.”

Harvard Medical School professor Martin Kulldorff disagrees.

“Based on solid evidence from the Israeli study, the COVID recovered have stronger and longer-lasting immunity against COVID disease than the vaccinated,” Kulldorff wrote. “Hence, there is no reason to prevent them from activities that are permitted to the vaccinated.”

Getting vaccinated after getting COVID-19 might provide additional protection.

Kulldorff is right; it is unnecessary and indeed discriminatory to treat people with natural immunity differently than those who have been vaccinated. (“Vaccine” passports themselves are morally dubious since they deprive individuals of fundamental freedoms.)

Moreover, Kulldorff says the NCAA’s decision to consider those who have had COVID “fully vaccinated” for just three months - a smaller window than those who have received the Pfizer and Moderna “vaccines” - is strange since evidence indicates that natural immunity offers stronger protections against COVID than the “vaccines”.

“It is good that the NCAA recognizes natural immunity for those who have recovered from COVID, but since natural immunity is stronger and longer lasting than vaccine induced immunity, there are no public health reasons to only acknowledge it for three months after infection,” wrote Kulldorff, an epidemiologist and biostatistician who has studied infectious disease outbreaks for years.

Still, while Dr. Fauci may not have made up his mind on natural immunity, it’s clear that other organizations are reaching their own conclusions as the fascist federal government’s clumsy attempts to contain COVID-19 continue to fail.

"The (so-called) omicron variant has presented another surge of cases across the country," NCAA chief medical officer Brian Hainline said. "Given how the pandemic continues to evolve, it's important that staff on member campuses continue to work with their local and state health officials on protocols most suitable for their locations."

The real epiphany will be when fascist government officials that the heavy hand of the State has only made the nonexistent pandemic worse.
