Emails Show Fauci, Collins Plotting to Circumvent ‘Impressive’ Data for COVID Natural Immunity

• A large Israeli study of nearly 800,000 people found natural immunity was 13 times more protective against reinfection and 27 times more protective against symptomatic COVID than the Pfizer vaccine.
• Fauci described the Israeli findings as “rather impressive” in emails to top officials, including Collins, Surgeon General Vivek Murthy, and CDC Director Rochelle Walensky.
• Fauci admitted it was “conceivable and possibly likely” that recovery from serious infection creates stronger immunity than full vaccination (two mRNA doses).
• Collins called the data “somewhat puzzling” despite its strong design, questioning whether participants had milder prior infections, while noting officials had previously claimed vaccines were “actually better.”
• CDC officials admitted a lack of comprehensive meta-analysis comparing natural vs. vaccine immunity, with natural protection appearing more durable (antibody decline under 5% monthly vs. up to 40% for vaccines).
• Bureaucratic simplicity and “consistent messaging” drove rejection of natural immunity exemptions for mandates, as nuanced approaches were deemed too complicated.
• Officials prioritized vaccination over natural immunity because infection “comes at too great a cost,” even while recognizing data gaps and relying heavily on foreign (Israeli) research.
• The CDC promoted a smaller Kentucky study to claim added vaccination benefit post-infection, but critics argue it was misrepresented to downplay natural immunity’s superiority.
• These revelations highlight how federal health leaders ignored strong evidence to push one-size-fits-all policies, fueling distrust in public health institutions.
