Our immune system didn't evolve to cope with living in incredibly tight spaces surrounded by millions of people. Our immune system also isn't good at dealing with infections as we age: it's simply unnatural to survive past 70. We need to keep vaccinating, to create a collective immunity that protects the vulnerable.
- leoedin 5y agoVaccinating is literally training the immune system to look for a specific protein and treat it as a threat. When your immune system learns how to fight off a virus, it does it by creating antibodies for a specific protein - treating that protein as a threat. They're effectively the same thing. The only thing the vaccine does differently is it doesn't exponentially reproduce in your cells. So anyone who survived Covid by definition has an immune system which can recognise the virus and attack it. Otherwise they wouldn't have survived.
- f6v 5y agoHow does that relate to my point? I said that the vaccination is a matter of public health. Instead of letting everyone get sick, we aim to eradicate the virus by vaccinating as many people as possible. This helps reduce the death toll.
