Conservative politicians, rank-and-file workers and even high-profile athletes and coaches who oppose vaccine mandates are increasingly making the argument that people who have recovered from COVID-19 shouldn’t have to roll up their sleeves for the shot.
“Now more than ever, we need to pursue every scientific measure — such as natural immunity — that can help mitigate the pandemic without threatening people’s jobs, our economy or denying Americans access to everyday life activities based on COVID-19 vaccination status,” Rep. Diana Harshbarger, R-Tenn., said in a statement.
Harshbarger and a group of House Republicans, including Utah Rep. Chris Stewart, say natural immunity from previous COVID-19 infection is effective, durable and long-lasting. They have introduced legislation requiring federal agencies to take into account naturally acquired immunity from previous coronavirus infection when issuing any regulations aimed at protecting people from the disease.
