1. Peter Nyikos Peter Nyikos United States says:

    Are you addressing Dr. Dutta, or the science establishment? The first sentence suggests the former, the last sentence suggests the latter.

    The only thing that could link the last sentence to Dr. Dutta is a statement unrelated to any research that she mentions elsewhere: "Importantly, vaccines offer the highest level of protection against SARS-CoV-2 infection in COVID-19 recovered individuals."

    In the context of the rest of the article, I interpret this as saying, "vaccines good, recovery from Covid-19 better, giving recovered patients the vaccine best."  However, given the low rate of reinfection (6.7 times lower than in vaccinated individuals, according to an exhaustive study of all cases in Israel between May 1 and July 13), adverse effects of vaccination after recovery need to be weighed into the balance.
