Dr. Anthony Fauci, the White House's top adviser for the COVID-19 pandemic, told CNN on Thursday that he doesn't have "a really firm answer" on the accuracy of a study that found natural immunity provides better protection against the virus than vaccines alone.
During an interview on "Anderson Cooper 360," CNN chief medical correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta asked Fauci about a study done in Israel that found natural immunity from previous COVID-19 infection conferred longer-lasting protection against the Delta variant of coronavirus than two shots of the Pfizer vaccine.
"So, as we talk about vaccine mandates, I get calls all the time, people say, I've already had COVID, I'm protected. And now the study says maybe even more protected than the vaccine alone. Should they also get the vaccine? How do you make the case to them?" Gupta asked.
