I didn't take any precautions, got covid (I guess, never had serious symptoms), probably have natural immunity now. For me, covid is over for a long time. I'm back to living life normally. Never vaccinating because I don't think its healthy.

Get vaccinated and then you can be sure to have natural immunity.

Why is vaccinating not healthy? Do you have any evidence of a significant "unhealthiness"? I'm pro-pragmatism, which means I don't think covid is a big deal for most people after they're vaxxed. So let's all get vaxxed and then go about our business.

    What an asinine question. Shame on you. Here's a list of 14 horrible diseases that you won't get, because of vaccines. https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/parents/diseases/forgot-14-diseases.html https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/parents/diseases/forgot-14-dise... It's not up for debate. Get vaccinated.

      why is it always presented as though all vaccines are equal? why is it not possible to be supportive of some vaccines and cautious about brand new ones? this is like making the argument that all medicine is good for you because "medicine" works. some medicines turned out to be very bad for you in the long term.

        And what evidence do you have that covid vax is bad for you in the long term? None lol.

        there hasn't been a "long term" yet. it was made available to the general public less than 6 months ago

        So if you don't get it, most likely you'll get a case of covid (70%+ chance most likely if you're participating in society). There is no "long term" knowledge of what covid does yet either? How do you know that even light covid doesn't stress the heart muscle, lungs, brain, etc years down the line? You don't. So since the hesitancy is about "we don't know the long term impact"... then I guess these same people need to avoid covid for 10 years too if they're worried about "unknown long term effects"

        I got vaccinated, but this is an incredibly poor argument. The other poster has just as much evidence that it’s bad for you long term as you do that it’s not.

        But I have evidence that it's good in the short/medium term. So my decision has good short/medium and unknown long. His decision (assuming you will eventually get covid), has fairly negative short/medium and unknown long. Weight those and run the math and then tell me what the optimal/logical decision is.

      Contrarian fervor lol! You're neurotically against the "people in power" and if they say the grass is green, you'll say the grass is blue.

A small CDC study found that vaccination after recovery from infection cuts the risk of reinfection in half. However we don't know how long the additional protection lasts. https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7032e1.htm https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7032e1.htm
