    There's a lot left to figure out but it's stupid how this gets buried.
    We need to acknowledge that there's still a lot to learn. But with all the focus on vaccinations, I don't believe we can definitively say that people that have had COVID should also get vaccinated.

    I've heard that people who had the first SARS virus back in 03 are still immune today. So it's logical to surmise that those infected with this virus will attain long term immunity. And if that's the case, then the vaccines become like cloth masks for the previously infected - placebo and theatrical.

    Of course it would be prefereable if we all had immunity to a novel pathogen but we don't. Not sure why anyone should be surprised that natural immunity is more robust than vaccination, I haven't heard anyone argue the reverse.

    The fact that pandemics unfold in real time, with real time impacts on people and ins utions (businesses, governments, schools, hospitals) tends to moderate the speed at which people are willing to get to natural immunity.

    But anyone who wants to chase COVID should go for it, imho.

    It's called herding. President Trump told us this 2 years ago come January. You called him everything but a white man.

    Let us proceed...

    Just quoting the article. My point being that there's very little attention given in the media and social media that it's possible (even likely) that those that have had COVID may not really need to get vaccination shots.
    I still believe that all the vaccinations may turn out to be a bad thing in the long term with a large % of the vaccinated believing they are immune and can go out in public without any concerns.

    I also worry that it's going to cause more mutations in the virus.

    IMO, the only way to try to get ahead of it would be to shut down everything as much as possible for a month or so. But that's not going to happen.

    sure, but i think its been known for a while that people with natural immunity are very well protected. i dont think that necessarily means that them getting vaccinated on top of that isn't a good idea. in fact, we've heard the opposite

    i agree that people taking it easy thinking they're invulnerable just because they're vaxxed is bad.

    If natural immunity is more effective than the vaccine, that's only the case after you've had it. In the meantime, the unvaccinated are still crowding our hospitals, dying at a much higher rate, and spreading it more easily when they get COVID.

    I agree that it has been know for a while but I think there's an incredibly large % of the population that ignores that fact. Everything is being painted with a broad brush while still the large % of hospitalizations/deaths are with people that had some underlying condition and elderly. From what I've read, the chance of reinfection is very rare. But also that getting a vaccination would double the chances of not getting reinfected. But those are both below 1% to my knowledge. I guess my end point being that if a healthy person has already had COVID, I'm not sure the shot should be recommended.

    In a perfect world, everyone could go see their doctor before getting vaccinated to see if they have any underlying conditions that might cause issues with the vax. I think I already posted it but I have an aunt that got vaxxed and then a few hours later had a stroke. They determined that she had a preexisting aneurysm that leaked and then burst. Had she known that, she could have made a decision to not get vaxxed and just hunker down.

    And I"m certainly not anti-vax. But I have a pretty big mistrust of Big Pharma licking their chops at vaxing everyone and then recommending boosters every year.

    Oh...there's a side effect? We've got something to treat that as well.

    my advocacy for vaccines has nothing to do with my love for the industry ... i think i've long said that healthcare is something that probably should be nationalized because the profit motive conflicts with the duty to treat patients imo

    Yeah...I wasn't meaning to imply that you're pro Big Pharma. You may suck at fantasy football but you're generally reasonable otherwise.

    the complete lack of reasoning by people to just say "oh just let everyone live freely so we all get it and attain natural immunity" obviously is not seeing the whole picture

    Exactly.

    Note how the resident lef s like Boutons Deux, Spurs Homer, and the like. who have complained about "BigPharma" from forever until last year, are no longer singing the same tune.

    Such hypocrites.

    Are you ing re ed? The vaccines make it a lot less likely you die or get really sick when you get infected. So greatly lowers the risk associated with finally catching the virus that first time.
