What is natural immunity?

Natural immunity is the antibody protection your body creates against a germ once you’ve been infected with it. Alongside antibodies, the immune system produces T cells that can target viruses to help protect the body. T cells do not prevent infection, because they kick into action only after a virus has infiltrated the body.

Our goal is to give the public a tool to allow for social freedom via a “passport” showing natural immunity. Considering the feasibility and and moral responsibility of a publicly accepted immunity passport is not a new concept, and it has been discussed and debated in many publications and studies. An article in The Lancet Infectious Diseases¹ said “failing to recognise the reduced infection threat immune individuals pose risks punishing people for low-risk behaviour.“

Through so many studies, it has been shown that natural immunity to Covid-19 is as effective at building antibodies in the system as the Covid-19 vaccines. Cureus published a study² from PMC, the US National Laboratory of Medicine, NIH (National Institute of Health) on 10/21/2021 that concluded “Our systematic review showed no clear evidence that vaccinated COVID-naïve individuals enjoyed greater protection than unvaccinated COVID-recovered counterparts.“
