I’m afraid to ask why having antibodies from a previous Covid infection isn’t as good or better than taking the vaccine.

The problem is if you can get natural immunity independently, how can you be dependent on the government? Reduced dependency for vaccines and healthcare will reduce the need for government intervention and reduce the justification for increased taxes and regulations.

There are many cases people get covid more than once, even some congressman I think.

Because you don't take a chance in dying if you get the vaccine but you do if you catch COVID. Also, you spread COVID when you get COIVD, you don't spread COVID when you get the COVID vaccine.

  Doesn't excuse firing people who have already had it. Regardless of whatever the argument is about those who haven't had it.

  Broad strokes paint outside the lines. For a large portion of the population, COVID isn’t a death sentence. I had COVID not long ago and it was like every other flu I’ve ever had—aches, lethargy, over in 3 days. I didn’t even know it was COVID (instead of a normal flu) until my sense of smell was gone. (Back a week later)

  Wrong, you do take a chance getting the vaccine. The media and SV have been instrumental in keeping that fact from most of the public but the risks are very real. The benefits are also far less than originally hoped, we're seeing ICUs all around the world filling up with "fully vaccinated" people. The risks are unknown, the benefits are unknown, the censorship and group-think is real though. Fuck that, I won't be getting any of the current vaccines, I'll go homeless and defecating on the streets of SF before I allow any of the current Pfizer, J&J or MOderna jabs into my own body. Novavax looks a lot more promising, so if safety data for it isn't censored by the media and social media including Youtube, I'll gladly get one.

I think it's mainly ego at this point. The establishment said that herd immunity won't work, accepting that those who already have had the disease are as immune as those with the vaccine would be in effect admitting they were wrong.

Because the CDC insists on PCR-positive nonserovonversion cases as proof that previous infection does not guarantee antibodies.

  PCR-positive results don't necessary guarantee evidence of infection.
