The calculus is different for tens of millions people who acquired natural immunity from previous infections before the vaccines even existed. I am one of them.

The calculus is different for tens of millions people who acquired natural immunity from previous infections before the vaccines even existed. I am one of them. There is no good reason for me to take the risk with the vaccines because it will only increase my immunity marginally.
- JamisonM 5y agoI think the evidence available today contradicts this position. Vaccine immunity is much better than naturally acquired immunity, and natural immunity plus vaccine immunity is much better still.
- rc2634 5y agoI am sorry to say, but you’re mistaken. That might have been the case before the Delta variant but not anymore. Natural immunity is definitely better against the Delta variant. https://www.science.org/content/article/having-sars-cov-2-once-confers-much-greater-immunity-vaccine-vaccination-remains-vital https://www.science.org/content/article/having-sars-cov-2-on... https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.08.24.21262415v1 https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.08.24.21262415v...
