This is an absurd position.
Vaccination isn't just a good idea in the abstract, it is a good idea (for public health) in the real world.
Natural immunity is not better just because it correlates to a lower breakthrough infection rate than vaccination immunity. If you choose the natural immunity path, you're subjecting yourself (and others) to higher risk of death and health problems.
- mensetmanusman 5y agoPossibly, but it might be better to focus on vaccinating the poor and bringing their immunity to 90% from 0% than mandating a rich person improve from 96% to 97% or get fired :) (this is where I think you might be misunderstanding, I’m not saying we should use natural immunity as a strategy for the 0% as you imply)
- Jason_Protell 5y agoMostly agree, but I think both (vaccinating poor + public service vaccination requirements) can be part of a holistic public health strategy.
- mensetmanusman 5y agoThis is the ideal case, but that assumes a public health system people can trust.
