But when people on an aircraft carrier of double-vaccinated personnel get COVID, does the vaccine really work better than natural immunity? https://www.bbc.com

  It reduces the spread, and greatly reduces the risk of death and hospitalization. It's not 100% effective, and that's never been the point. It's not like the "natural method" is 100% effective at preventing infection, either.

    The "natural method" provides protection against variants, whereas the vaccine needs boosters to protect against the variants.

      The vaccines have stood up pretty well against variants, when looking at hospitalization and death rates. The "natural method" has much higher rates of both. Boosters aren't being universally applied almost anywhere, and people getting hospitalized in places with big waves right now are mostly unvaccinated. Maybe you like mass graves and overcrowded hospitals, but the rest of us are getting vaccines.

        Not what I'm seeing. I'll stick with the pureblood crowd. https://theswedenpost.com/most-covid-deaths-in-sweden-and-uk-in-september-involved-fully-vaccinated-individuals-headlines-breaking-news-sweden/ https://theswedenpost.com/most-covid-deaths-in-sweden-and-uk... https://nypost.com/2021/10/06/sweden-suspends-moderna-vaccine-for-those-30-and-under/ https://nypost.com/2021/10/06/sweden-suspends-moderna-vaccin...
