==Misinformation==
===Natural Immunity===
In October of 2021 CNN's Chief Medical Correspondent, Sanjay Gupta, claimed on air that a study showed that those with natural immunity were twice as likely to get infected than those who have been vaccinated.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYZTN5NkxmQ&t=512s Watch Dr. Sanjay Gupta go one-on-one with podcaster Joe Rogan], ''CNN'', Oct 14, 2021</ref> This appears to be based on a misleading headline on a [[Centers for Disease Control and Prevention | CDC]] release, which was titled "New CDC Study: Vaccination Offers Higher Protection than Previous COVID-19 Infection.<ref>[https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2021/s0806-vaccination-protection.html New CDC Study: Vaccination Offers Higher Protection than Previous COVID-19 Infection], ''CDC'', Aug 6, 2021</ref> The focus of the study, however, was the risk of *reinfection*. Thus every participant had natural immunity.<ref>[https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7032e1.htm Reduced Risk of Reinfection with SARS-CoV-2 After COVID-19 Vaccination — Kentucky, May–June 2021], ''CDC'', Aug 13, 2021</ref> Natural immunity provides greater protection against Covid than vaccination.<ref>[https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2021/sep/15/ron-desantis/fact-checking-desantis-covid-19-natural-immunity/ People who “have recovered (from COVID-19) have very strong immunity.”], ''Politifact'', Sept 13, 2021</ref>
