Biden says supply chain issues are driving inflation problemsReturn to menu

Pressed on how his administration is addressing rising prices, Biden said his team is focused on improving the supply chain issues that have been exacerbated by the pandemic.
“Inflation has everything to do with the supply chain, and I think what you see is that we’ve been able to make progress on speeding up the access to materials,” he said.
In particular, Biden highlighted the rising cost of cars as a key driver of inflation and said that the lack of computer chips is a significant factor in the “skyrocketing prices.” He said his administration is focused on the United States becoming more self-reliant on the computer chips needed to be able to make more cars.
On energy prices, the president said that the story is more complicated but that he has worked with other countries to release oil from their versions of the petroleum reserve to bring down the price of gas. Still, he acknowledged that rising gas prices are hurting middle- and working-class people.
“We’re going to continue to work on trying to increase oil supplies that are available,” he said.
President Biden addressed the brewing conflict between Russia and Ukraine during a press briefing Wednesday, saying of Russian President Vladimir Putin, "my guess is he will move in."
Why it matters: U.S. officials have issued a series of warnings about Russia's threatening military buildup on the border with Ukraine, with Secretary of State Antony Blinken saying in Kyiv earlier Wednesday that Russia could invade "on very short notice."
But as Biden himself acknowledged, it's unclear whether Putin himself has decided what comes next.
What he's saying: "I think he still does not want any full-blown war, number one. Number two, do I think he'll test the west? Test the United States and NATO as significantly as he can? Yes, I think he will," Biden said.
"But I think he'll pay a serious and dear price for it that he doesn't think now will cost him what it's going to cost him. And I think he'll regret having done it.""My guess is he will move in. He has to do something."
Worth noting: Biden said that Russia will be "held accountable if it invades" but added that "it depends on what it does."
"It's one thing if it's a minor incursion and we end up having to fight about what to do and not do, et cetera."But if Russia launches a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, this would be a "disaster for Russia."
Asked later if he was effectively giving Russia permission to make a small incursion, Biden stressed the importance of NATO having a unified response and noted that differences amongst the bloc's members do exist.
"If it's something significantly short of a significant invasion or not even significant — major military forces coming in...for example, it's one thing to determine that if they continue to use cyber efforts, we can respond the same way, with cyber.""There are differences in NATO as to what countries are willing to do, depending on what happens. The degree to which they are able to go."
Our thought bubble, from Axios' Zach Basu: Biden's suggestion that there may not be devastating sanctions over a "minor incursion" by Russia is sure to spark alarm in Ukraine, where top officials have been pleading with the U.S. to impose sanctions now to avoid that very scenario.

He actually said that he is not perfect like Trump
WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden acknowledged the frustration many Americans say they are feeling as both inflation and the pandemic surge, along with missteps he said his administration has made on Covid strategy, as he capped his first year in office with a rare press conference.
"Should we have done more testing earlier? Yes. But we're doing more now," he said, as he painted a portrait of slow progress.
"We have faced some of the biggest challenges that we've ever faced in this country these past few years, challenges to our public health, challenges to our economy. But we're getting through it," Biden said. "And not only are we getting through it. We're laying the foundation for a future where America wins the 21st century by creating jobs at a record pace, and we need to get inflation under control."

Angry shouting, lies, more lies, creepy whispering, cough, fart, lies, clenched fist threats, everyone is a racist, fart, creepy weirdo whispering, screaming for no reason, lies, cough, my butt’s been wiped.
Has he got to the "my butt's been wiped" part yet ?
Biden said sanctions by the U.S. and its allies are strong enough to dissuade Russian President Vladimir Putin from invading Ukraine.
“He’s never seen sanctions like the ones I promised would be imposed if he moves,” Biden said. “What you’re going to see is that Russia will be held accountable if it invades."
Biden also said the repercussions will “depend” on what Russia does.
“It’s one thing if it’s a minor incursion and then we end up having a fight about what to do and not do, et cetera,” Biden said. “But if they actually do what they’re capable of doing ... it is going to be a disaster for Russia if they further degrade and, invade Ukraine.”
The U.S. allies, he said, "are ready to impose severe costs and significant harm on Russia and the Russian economy."
Earlier Wednesday, GOP senators urged Biden to take stronger action to prevent Russia from invading Ukraine. Their remarks came after a bipartisan delegation of senators traveled to Kyiv over the weekend to reassure Ukrainian leaders that the U.S. stood with them.
The president noted his conversations with Putin and said “he has no problem understanding me, nor me him.”
“I pointed out, ‘You’ve occupied before other countries, but the price has been extremely high,’” Biden recalled. “It’s real. It’s consequential. So this is not all just a cakewalk for the Russia military.”
“I think [Putin] still does not want any full-blown war," Biden said.
President Biden insisted Wednesday that he did not overpromise on his agenda amid a series of setbacks at the one-year mark of his presidency, making the case that his administration has made progress in fighting the COVID-19 pandemic and on other fronts.
“I didn’t overpromise,” Biden said in response to a question at his first news conference of 2022. “I think if you take a look at what we’ve been able to do, you’d have to acknowledge we’ve made enormous progress.”

Biden said Wednesday that his administration has made “enormous progress” on the virus specifically, adding, “It’s getting better.”
Biden said his challenge has been getting Republicans on board with “making things better in this country.”
"I did not anticipate that there would be such a stalwart effort to make sure the most important thing was that President Biden didn't get anything done," Biden said, adding: “What are Republicans for? What are they for?”
Biden suggested he would do more in the coming weeks to talk about his accomplishments and draw a contrast with Republican lawmakers.
President Joe Biden on Wednesday committed to Vice President Kamala Harris as his running mate in 2024 when he runs for reelection.
“Yes and yes,” Biden responded during his first news conference of the year when a reporter asked whether Harris would be on his ticket and whether he thought she was doing a good job facilitating voting rights policies.
“I didn’t overpromise,” Biden said in response to a question at his first news conference of 2022. “I think if you take a look at what we’ve been able to do, you’d have to acknowledge we’ve made enormous progress.”
He's failed by every measureable and objective measure. Some progress.

"Think about this: What are Republicans for? What are they for? Name me one thing they’re for.” — President Biden, quoted by the Washington Post. _________
I can do that, Mr. President. As some of them confessed to a Republican they wanted to run for senator, "we can do nothing."
THAT'S what they are for. Doing nothing.
They won't put that in a platform, that THAT'S what they are for.
That, and a STEADILY DECREASING number who are still for continuing to repeat Trump's BIG LIE.
Biden Thinks Putin Will Invade Ukraine January 19, 2022 at 5:45 pm EST By Taegan Goddard 12 Comments
President Joe Biden said that he expects Russian President Vladimir Putin to order an invasion of Ukraine, and warned that “a disaster” awaits Russia if that happened, CNBC reports.
Said Biden: “My guess is he will move in, he has to do something.
He added: “It is going to be a disaster for Russia if they further invade Ukraine. Our allies and partners are ready to impose a severe cost on Russia and the Russian economy And I think he’ll regret having done it.”
Your Democratic neighbors won’t be ordered to vote for laws that ostracize you from society, steal your property, or send you away to a concentration camp. They will do it burning with pride.
By Dan Gelernter
January 18, 2022
Almost half of Democratic voters—48 percent—think the government should be able to fine or imprison individuals “who publicly question the efficacy of the existing COVID-19 vaccines on social media, television, radio, or in online or digital publications.”
This is not the most astonishing finding of a poll just released by Rasmussen. Let’s go through the relevant points: Nearly the same percentage of Democratic voters—47 percent—think the government should be able to put a tracking system, like an ankle monitor or a locked collar, on people who refuse the vaccine. And 45 percent favor putting the unvaccinated in camps. Camps.
More than half of Democratic voters—55 percent—think people who refuse the vaccine should be fined. Fifty-nine percent favor confining all unvaccinated people to their homes. More than a quarter of Democratic voters—29 percent—think that the government should be able to confiscate the children of unvaccinated parents . . .
Examine these historical personages from Revolutionary France or Soviet Russia or Nazi Germany (or Nazi France): It’s not just that they were following orders. On the contrary, they thought they were doing a positive good for society. They were eager to help rid their community of dangerous elements. They were proud of what they did.
Report Ad
Some of your Democratic neighbors will likewise be proud to lock you up, put a tracking collar on your neck, take away your children—all for the public good. These are people who would murder you for the public good.
And this is the inevitable result of raising up generations of Americans without any fundamental attachment to freedom.
"I did not anticipate that there would be such a stalwart effort to make sure that the most important thing was that President Biden didn't get anything done."
Uh, is there anyone within his circle of "advisors" capable of telling the dumb fuck that his party controls the House AND the Senate?
I am curious how Joe Biden believes that having some (but not all) of the Democrats and none of the Republicans in the Senate makes him a moderate, rather than someone who is trying to move us left?
I listened to him ramble, stop, start, whisper, close his eyes and then couldn't take it anymore.
You should've stuck around for the angry shouting. He tore some sap a new one for repeating back to him what he actually said in his divisive Georgia speech.
Poor kid. Thought he was safely on the team and he got smacked by the old sundown man.

ICYMI, Ukraine has charged Petro Poroshenko with treason. Recall Poroshenko was Biden's partner in crime, ie firing the prosecutor who was investigating Hunter's boss. Right before the prosecutor was fired, Hunter was told that the investigations needed to be closed. What a mess.
oops, correction. Treason, not corruption.
Good job Joe, someone must have asked about that ?
VERY IMPORTANT! VERY IMPORTANT! VERY IMPORTANT! Supreme Court Won’t Block Release of Trump Files January 19, 2022 at 6:32 pm EST By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment
The Supreme Court refused a request from former President Donald Trump to block the release of White House records concerning the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, the New York Times reports.
Only Justice Clarence Thomas noted a dissent.
Washington Post: “The order turned aside Trump’s request to block the records release while the case continues through the courts. It means there is no legal obstacle to release of the materials from the National Archives.”
THE WALLS KEEP CLOSING IN, CLOSING IN, CLOSING IN...
The Supreme Court on Wednesday rejected former President Donald Trump’s bid to use executive privilege to block a House committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection from accessing a trove of records created by Trump’s White House.
The move opens up a trove of documents to Jan. 6 investigators who have sought them to determine Trump’s actions and mindset in the weeks leading up to the Jan. 6 attack, as well as what he did as his supporters were rioting at the Capitol.
The only member of the high court who signaled he would have granted Trump’s request for emergency relief was Justice Clarence Thomas.
Biden smacks down Fox News' Peter Doocy when he asks why president is 'pulling the country so far to the left'
Matthew Chapman
January 19, 2022
At his Wednesday press conference, President Joe Biden bluntly swatted away a question from Fox News' Peter Doocy meant to criticize his agenda.
"It's a new year," said Doocy. "Why are you trying so hard in your first year to pull the country so far to the left?"
"Well, I'm not," said Biden. "I don't know what you consider to be too far to the left, if, in fact, we're talking about making sure we have the money for COVID, making sure we have the money to put together a bipartisan infrastructure, making sure we are able to provide for those things that, in fact, significantly reduce the burden on working-class people and make them have to continue to work hard. I don't know how that is pointed to the left."
"If you may recall, you guys have been trying to convince me that I am Bernie Sanders," added Biden. "I'm not. I like him, but I'm not Bernie Sanders. I'm not a socialist. I'm a mainstream Democrat, and I have been. Mainstream Democrats — if you notice, the 48 of the 50 Democrats supported me in the Senate on virtually everything I asked."

When the Delta variant dominated, vaccination and prior infection protected against Covid-19, but vaccination was safest, study finds By Deidre McPhillips, CNN Updated 3 hours ago Jan 19, 2022 (CNN) - When the Delta variant was dominant in the United States, both vaccination and prior infection helped protect against Covid-19, but vaccination was the safest way to be protected, according to a study published Wednesday by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The data included in the study was collected before the Omicron wave in the United States, and before boosters were widely available. The CDC says it will publish additional data on Covid-19 vaccines, boosters and the Omicron variant later this week. "Although the epidemiology of COVID-19 might change as new variants emerge, vaccination remains the safest strategy for averting future SARS-CoV-2 infections, hospitalizations, long-term sequelae, and death," the researchers wrote. Researchers analyzed the risk of Covid-19 infection and hospitalization among four groups of individuals: vaccinated with and without prior infection and unvaccinated with and without prior infection. The study case data from about 1.1 million cases in California and New York between the end of May and mid-November 2021. Hospitalization data was available from California only. Overall, Covid-19 case and hospitalization rates were highest among unvaccinated people who did not have a previous diagnosis. At first, those with a prior infection had higher case rates than those who were vaccinated with no history of prior infection. As the Delta variant became predominant in the US in later months, this shifted and people who survived a previous infection had lower case rates than those who were vaccinated alone, according to the study. "Experts first looked at previous infections confirmed with laboratory test by the spring of 2021, when the Alpha variant was predominant across the country. Before the Delta variant, Covid-19 vaccination resulted in better protection against a subsequent infection than surviving a previous infection. When looking at the summer and the fall of 2021, when Delta became the dominant in this country, however, surviving a previous infection now provided greater protection against subsequent infection than vaccination," Dr. Benjamin Silk, lead for CDC's surveillance and analytics on the Epi-Task Force, said on a call with media Wednesday.
"The data clearly shows that vaccination provides the safest protection against COVID-19 and additional protection for individuals who have had a prior infection. In addition, it shows that people who remain unvaccinated are at the greatest risk of hospitalization and death," said Dr. Erica Pan, state epidemiologist for the California Department of Public Health, said in a statement. "Outside of this study, recent data on the highly contagious Omicron variant shows that getting a booster provides significant additional protection against infection, hospitalization and death."

“He’s never seen sanctions like the ones I promised would be imposed if he moves,” Biden said. “What you’re going to see is that Russia will be held accountable if it invades."
Biden also said the repercussions will “depend” on what Russia does.
“It’s one thing if it’s a minor incursion and then we end up having a fight about what to do and not do, et cetera,” Biden said. “But if they actually do what they’re capable of doing ... it is going to be a disaster for Russia if they further degrade and, invade Ukraine.”
The U.S. allies, he said, "are ready to impose severe costs and significant harm on Russia and the Russian economy."
Earlier Wednesday, GOP senators urged Biden to take stronger action to prevent Russia from invading Ukraine. Their remarks came after a bipartisan delegation of senators traveled to Kyiv over the weekend to reassure Ukrainian leaders that the U.S. stood with them.
The president noted his conversations with Putin and said “he has no problem understanding me, nor me him.”
“I pointed out, ‘You’ve occupied before other countries, but the price has been extremely high,’” Biden recalled. “It’s real. It’s consequential. So this is not all just a cakewalk for the Russia military.”
“I think [Putin] still does not want any full-blown war," Biden said.
Over one hour so far more than Trump did
President Biden insisted Wednesday that he did not overpromise on his agenda amid a series of setbacks at the one-year mark of his presidency, making the case that his administration has made progress in fighting the COVID-19 pandemic and on other fronts.
“I didn’t overpromise,” Biden said in response to a question at his first news conference of 2022. “I think if you take a look at what we’ve been able to do, you’d have to acknowledge we’ve made enormous progress.”
ADVERTISING
Biden said Wednesday that his administration has made “enormous progress” on the virus specifically, adding, “It’s getting better.”
Biden said his challenge has been getting Republicans on board with “making things better in this country.”
"I did not anticipate that there would be such a stalwart effort to make sure the most important thing was that President Biden didn't get anything done," Biden said, adding: “What are Republicans for? What are they for?”
Biden suggested he would do more in the coming weeks to talk about his accomplishments and draw a contrast with Republican lawmakers.
Your girlfriend rrb
President Joe Biden on Wednesday committed to Vice President Kamala Harris as his running mate in 2024 when he runs for reelection.
“Yes and yes,” Biden responded during his first news conference of the year when a reporter asked whether Harris would be on his ticket and whether he thought she was doing a good job facilitating voting rights policies.
“I didn’t overpromise,” Biden said in response to a question at his first news conference of 2022. “I think if you take a look at what we’ve been able to do, you’d have to acknowledge we’ve made enormous progress.”
He's failed by every measureable and objective measure. Some progress.

And it always will, that’s the nature of disease, you idiot.

I can do that, Mr. President. As some of them confessed to a Republican they wanted to run for senator, "we can do nothing."
THAT'S what they are for. Doing nothing.
They won't put that in a platform, that THAT'S what they are for.

President Joe Biden said that he expects Russian President Vladimir Putin to order an invasion of Ukraine, and warned that “a disaster” awaits Russia if that happened, CNBC reports.
Said Biden:
“My guess is he will move in, he has to do something.
He added:
“It is going to be a disaster for Russia if they further invade Ukraine. Our allies and partners are ready to impose a severe cost on Russia and the Russian economy And I think he’ll regret having done it.”
Over one hour so far more than Trump did

Your Democratic neighbors won’t be ordered to vote for laws that ostracize you from society, steal your property, or send you away to a concentration camp. They will do it burning with pride.
By Dan Gelernter
January 18, 2022
Almost half of Democratic voters—48 percent—think the government should be able to fine or imprison individuals “who publicly question the efficacy of the existing COVID-19 vaccines on social media, television, radio, or in online or digital publications.”
This is not the most astonishing finding of a poll just released by Rasmussen. Let’s go through the relevant points: Nearly the same percentage of Democratic voters—47 percent—think the government should be able to put a tracking system, like an ankle monitor or a locked collar, on people who refuse the vaccine. And 45 percent favor putting the unvaccinated in camps. Camps.
More than half of Democratic voters—55 percent—think people who refuse the vaccine should be fined. Fifty-nine percent favor confining all unvaccinated people to their homes. More than a quarter of Democratic voters—29 percent—think that the government should be able to confiscate the children of unvaccinated parents . . .
Is any of this Nazi enough for you yet? You are living next door to the people who would have turned you over to the ComitΓ© de salut public for opposing the “Law of Suspects”—the law that authorized the arrest of all suspected enemies of the Revolution and ushered in the Reign of Terror. You are living next door to the people who would have turned you over to the NKVD for “moral sabotage of the Soviet Union.” You are living next door to the people who would have called up the Gestapo and said, “My neighbor is hiding a Jew.”
Examine these historical personages from Revolutionary France or Soviet Russia or Nazi Germany (or Nazi France): It’s not just that they were following orders. On the contrary, they thought they were doing a positive good for society. They were eager to help rid their community of dangerous elements. They were proud of what they did.
Report Ad
Some of your Democratic neighbors will likewise be proud to lock you up, put a tracking collar on your neck, take away your children—all for the public good. These are people who would murder you for the public good.
And this is the inevitable result of raising up generations of Americans without any fundamental attachment to freedom.
He talked in paragraphs that made sense.
ROFLMFAO !!!
I guess alky "sense"
I listened to him ramble, stop, start, whisper, close his eyes and then couldn't take it anymore.
but I could write what the lying POS "pastor" would say before Biden even started
One hour and 45 minutes and he didn't stutter like rrb believes
Slow Joe on the GOP:
"I did not anticipate that there would be such a stalwart effort to make sure that the most important thing was that President Biden didn't get anything done."
Uh, is there anyone within his circle of "advisors" capable of telling the dumb fuck that his party controls the House AND the Senate?
I am curious how Joe Biden believes that having some (but not all) of the Democrats and none of the Republicans in the Senate makes him a moderate, rather than someone who is trying to move us left?
Biden: "i'm a capitalist. but capitalism without competition is exploitation"
I listened to him ramble, stop, start, whisper, close his eyes and then couldn't take it anymore.
You should've stuck around for the angry shouting. He tore some sap a new one for repeating back to him what he actually said in his divisive Georgia speech.
Poor kid. Thought he was safely on the team and he got smacked by the old sundown man.
US STOCKS-Wall Street sell-off deepens, Nasdaq confirms correction
an 19 (Reuters) - Wall Street's main indexes ended sharply lower on Wednesday, with the tech-heavy Nasdaq confirming it was in a correction, after a diverse set of corporate earnings and as investors continued to worry about higher U.S. Treasury yields and the Federal Reserve tightening monetary policy.
The Nasdaq ended down 10.7% from its Nov. 19 closing record high, as stocks sold off into the market close. A correction is confirmed when an index closes 10% or more below its record closing level.

btw Did anyone ask how Hunter's art sales were going?
I saw the prosecutor he had inserted in Ukraine so Hunter wouldn't get prosecuted just got arrested for corruption.
Imagine that.
Anyone ask Joe if he was planning to fly anywhere else and get foreign prosecutors fired to protect his son ?
Is that just part of being a "Biden" ?

ICYMI, Ukraine has charged Petro Poroshenko with treason. Recall Poroshenko was Biden's partner in crime, ie firing the prosecutor who was investigating Hunter's boss. Right before the prosecutor was fired, Hunter was told that the investigations needed to be closed. What a mess.
oops, correction. Treason, not corruption.
Good job Joe, someone must have asked about that ?

Supreme Court Won’t Block Release of Trump Files
January 19, 2022 at 6:32 pm EST By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment
The Supreme Court refused a request from former President Donald Trump to block the release of White House records concerning the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol,
the New York Times reports.
Only Justice Clarence Thomas noted a dissent.
Washington Post:
“The order turned aside Trump’s request to block the records release while the case continues through the courts. It means there is no legal obstacle to release of the materials from the National Archives.”
THE WALLS KEEP CLOSING IN, CLOSING IN, CLOSING IN...
IF TRUMP HAD NOTHING TO HIDE, HE WOULD NOT BE ASKING (BEGGING?) SCOTUS NOT TO RELEASE THE MATERIALS.
King Donald Trump lost the supreme Court
The Supreme Court on Wednesday rejected former President Donald Trump’s bid to use executive privilege to block a House committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection from accessing a trove of records created by Trump’s White House.
The move opens up a trove of documents to Jan. 6 investigators who have sought them to determine Trump’s actions and mindset in the weeks leading up to the Jan. 6 attack, as well as what he did as his supporters were rioting at the Capitol.
The only member of the high court who signaled he would have granted Trump’s request for emergency relief was Justice Clarence Thomas.
We are capitalists!
Biden smacks down Fox News' Peter Doocy when he asks why president is 'pulling the country so far to the left'
Matthew Chapman
January 19, 2022
At his Wednesday press conference, President Joe Biden bluntly swatted away a question from Fox News' Peter Doocy meant to criticize his agenda.
"It's a new year," said Doocy. "Why are you trying so hard in your first year to pull the country so far to the left?"
"Well, I'm not," said Biden. "I don't know what you consider to be too far to the left, if, in fact, we're talking about making sure we have the money for COVID, making sure we have the money to put together a bipartisan infrastructure, making sure we are able to provide for those things that, in fact, significantly reduce the burden on working-class people and make them have to continue to work hard. I don't know how that is pointed to the left."
"If you may recall, you guys have been trying to convince me that I am Bernie Sanders," added Biden. "I'm not. I like him, but I'm not Bernie Sanders. I'm not a socialist. I'm a mainstream Democrat, and I have been. Mainstream Democrats — if you notice, the 48 of the 50 Democrats supported me in the Senate on virtually everything I asked."
I laughed out loud!

When the Delta variant dominated, vaccination and prior infection protected against Covid-19, but vaccination was safest, study finds
By Deidre McPhillips, CNN
Updated 3 hours ago Jan 19, 2022
(CNN) - When the Delta variant was dominant in the United States, both vaccination and prior infection helped protect against Covid-19, but vaccination was the safest way to be protected, according to a study published Wednesday by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The data included in the study was collected before the Omicron wave in the United States, and before boosters were widely available. The CDC says it will publish additional data on Covid-19 vaccines, boosters and the Omicron variant later this week.
"Although the epidemiology of COVID-19 might change as new variants emerge, vaccination remains the safest strategy for averting future SARS-CoV-2 infections, hospitalizations, long-term sequelae, and death," the researchers wrote.
Researchers analyzed the risk of Covid-19 infection and hospitalization among four groups of individuals: vaccinated with and without prior infection and unvaccinated with and without prior infection. The study case data from about 1.1 million cases in California and New York between the end of May and mid-November 2021. Hospitalization data was available from California only.
Overall, Covid-19 case and hospitalization rates were highest among unvaccinated people who did not have a previous diagnosis.
At first, those with a prior infection had higher case rates than those who were vaccinated with no history of prior infection. As the Delta variant became predominant in the US in later months, this shifted and people who survived a previous infection had lower case rates than those who were vaccinated alone, according to the study.
"Experts first looked at previous infections confirmed with laboratory test by the spring of 2021, when the Alpha variant was predominant across the country. Before the Delta variant, Covid-19 vaccination resulted in better protection against a subsequent infection than surviving a previous infection. When looking at the summer and the fall of 2021, when Delta became the dominant in this country, however, surviving a previous infection now provided greater protection against subsequent infection than vaccination," Dr. Benjamin Silk, lead for CDC's surveillance and analytics on the Epi-Task Force, said on a call with media Wednesday.
However, this shift coincides with a time of waning vaccine immunity in many people. The study did not factor the time from vaccination -- and potential waning immunity -- into the analysis. The study also does not capture the effect booster doses may have and was conducted before the emergence of the Omicron variant.
Throughout the period of the study, risk of Covid-19 hospitalization was significantly higher among unvaccinated people with no previous Covid-19 diagnosis than any other group.
"Together, the totality of the evidence suggests really that both vaccination and having survived Covid each provide protection against subsequent reinfection, infection and hospitalization," said Dr. Eli Rosenberg, New York state deputy director for science. "Having Covid the first time carries with it significant risks, and becoming vaccinated and staying up-to-date with boosters really is the only safe choice for preventing COVID infection and severe disease."
While there's no doubt that prior infection provides some level of protection, vaccination can boost that protection, Dr. William Schaffner, an infectious disease expert at Vanderbilt University Medical Center told CNN.
"If a person who's had natural Covid then gets vaccinated, they have levels of antibody that are much, much higher than after the natural infection itself. And what we know about higher levels of antibody is: one, you usually get a longer duration of protection, and number two, the variety of antibodies that your immune system produces is more diverse. The notion is that you will be better protected against a diversity of variants," said Schaffner, who is a vaccine adviser to the CDC, but was not involved in the study.
Experts noted that characteristics of variants change, including how well they effect immunity from prior infections.
"The data clearly shows that vaccination provides the safest protection against COVID-19 and additional protection for individuals who have had a prior infection. In addition, it shows that people who remain unvaccinated are at the greatest risk of hospitalization and death," said Dr. Erica Pan, state epidemiologist for the California Department of Public Health, said in a statement. "Outside of this study, recent data on the highly contagious Omicron variant shows that getting a booster provides significant additional protection against infection, hospitalization and death."
