... West ... served as the head of the Texas Republican Party before stepping down to challenge Gov. Greg Abbott.

If .. elected, West would be .. setting Texas’ policies for responding to .. health crises ...

... "Instead of enriching .. Big Pharma .. we should be advocating the monoclonal antibody .. therapy" ...

... both the vaccines and the antibody infusion therapy come from major pharmaceutical companies ...

"Instead of jabbing Americans ... with these spike proteins ... I now have natural immunity and double the antibodies" ...

West is .. wrong about the vaccines injecting spike proteins ...

Natural immunity is available only to people who survive ... More than 700,000 in the US did not ...

3. Here is my succinct summary of the article

Allen West is wrong about EVERYTHING.

He is a dumb man. Driven by ideology rather than actual information. He fits right in with the Republican party.

6. And how long does natural immunity last?

A friend of mine got covid in March of 2020, before we were really even expecting it and she was under the impression that she had immunity and so while she was going to get vaccinated was not feeling the need to hurry but got it again just in June this year. It was far worse than the first time.

7. Disagree on one point

Natural immunity is definitely available to those that died. I mean, they'll never get COVID again, right?

How is it different from a vaccine?
A vaccine helps stimulate and prepare your immune system to respond if or when you are exposed to the virus, Petty says. “Your immune system is ready to create all these antibodies before they are needed.”

Monoclonal antibodies boost the immune system after you are already sick, speeding up your immune response to prevent COVID-19 from getting worse. “But a vaccine does this much easier and much better,” Petty says.

You can think of monoclonal antibodies as guided missiles that target and neutralize the virus, Fales says. But they don't stick around. While monoclonal antibodies are effective for about a month, they are long gone 6 months later, when a vaccine still offers significant protection.
