One difference, without picking a side of where that lands in impact(and based on Ontario, Canada's rules): Natural immunity wasn't allowed.

  Did natural immunity work though? Pretty much every active American I know has gotten Covid not once but twice at the least. Of course even in that statement the nuance of what strains etc was lost. I’ll actually agree that by the time vaccine mandates were made the strains didn’t diverge that much and it should have been perfectly acceptable to show iron clad proof of prior infection as an alternative for vaccine proof (if I’m not wrong that was actually the case in some scenarios).

    I am/was pro-vax but they should've made cert of prior infection equivalent. Because it was nearly as good at one point, and then it actually became a better indicator of resistence

    There was a period of time (around when Delta showed up IIRC) when the evidence was pretty compelling that infection plus one vaccine was substantially more protective than no infection and two vaccines. Right now the evidence that boosters are more than a little bit helpful is rather lacking.

    From most of the studies I saw natural immunity was more effective than the vaccines - and both were (slightly) better yet. I say this as someone that got the original strain and then delta - and both were quite serious. I remember at the time I got delta there was supposed to be about a 1% chance of me getting reinfected, though that study might have been pre-delta as I got it quite early.

    > Did natural immunity work though? Looking at your answers looks like you really don't have a clue, but the worst thing is you don't realize that you don't a have clue. Just like ChatGPT. You think it is intelligent, but it is not.

  I'm guessing they didn't allow natural immunity for fear that it would lead to "Covid parties" to acquire natural immunity.
