Its not about vaccine vs natural immunity. Its about immunity vs mandates.
Getting covid intentionally is stupid. If you feel up to it, get the vaccine. Any encounter with covid will be milder.
However, some people have already had it and are frankly being unjustly discriminated in some states and institutions.
I'm not against vaccines but the treatment of previously infected people as second tier has got to stop.
- shmatt 5y agothere is a point to be made here. in Israel for example, a verified blood test with high antibody levels gets you a "vaccine passport", without the need of a vaccine it only lasts a limited time though, and these measured antibodies fade within months. so people that have been sick are still encouraged to get at least 1 shot of Pfizer It's important to add antibody levels for people that have been sick are very different. I know many sick people who got under 150 (the stated minimum to get the passport) a few weeks after being sick. With 2 shots of Pfizer I got over 12,000 units. So it's not even the same ballpark. At least for the measurable antibody tests we currently have I suspect, if the government offered a monitored blood test to prove antibodies, the "but muh mandates" crowd will still be just as angry
- travisporter 5y agoI would equate it to hiring for a job: saying you have a college degree (history of infection) < showing the degree (proof of vaccination) < showing your GPA (antibody levels). This is because my colleagues say of covid: "oh, just sniffles" versus "worst sore throat and muscle aches of my life". Unlikely both these immune systems are similarly trained to fight covid
