Because the vaccine protects so much better than just a previous infection. We've been over this, over, and over. But you just won't accept the numbers now will you?

- ChrisClark 5y agoIf you were infected with the original strain, you'd have had less immunity to Delta than if you were vaccinated. The exact same thing for Delta vs Omicron. The mRNA vaccines give a broader immunization that covers more. That's not even up for debate, you're only pretending it is. I hope your comment is sarcasm.
- throwaway1777 5y agoThis is wrong according to the CDC. Prior infection is better than the vaccine by itself but vaccine + prior infection is best. https://www.forbes.com/sites/joewalsh/2022/01/19/cdc-prior-covid-infection-offered-more-protection-against-delta-than-vaccines---but-both-together-did-best/?sh=500d15ba3d04 https://www.forbes.com/sites/joewalsh/2022/01/19/cdc-prior-c...
- bink 5y agoIt's been awhile since I read about that study but didn't it determine that previous infection provided better resistance to infection than vaccination without a booster, but that vaccination provided better resistance to serious illness and death? Either way I find it weird that the study clearly shows vaccination + infection provides the best protection yet people are using this to argue that they don't need a vaccination at all.

- nsxwolf 5y agoWhat do you mean by "broader"? The mRNA vaccines present the original spike protein to your immune system. A viral infection exposes you to the spike protein as well as every other piece of the virus.

- walterbell 5y agoUntil the CDC changed the definition of vaccine in Sept 2021, most vaccines were understood to provide sterilizing immunity against infection, not only "protection" against illness/death. Intramuscular/serum vaccines cannot stop respiratory infections, by definition. They are non-sterilizing. Only a nasal/mucosal vaccine or nasal infection can provide sterilizing immunity against a respiratory virus.
- ChrisClark 5y agoYou rewriting history? The vaccine was never said to be 100% effective. Stop trying to twist reality to face your own political views.

- dekhn 5y agopretty much all those quotes are "very effective", which is not really quantitative enough to say that fauci and the media were "wrong". Is it super important that they are technically wrong on something, anyway? Like, do you think Fauci is going to be cancelled because he said something wrong? I doubt that's going to occur based on his prior messaging.
