> I think the data was clear enough that the vaccines are worth getting Unlike like measles or polio, these misnamed 'vaccines' don't prevent getting the disease nor transmitting the virus. I think young healthy people should get the disease, recover, develop antibodies, and be done with it. We did this for chicken pox until a couple decades ago.

>Unlike like measles or polio The polio vaccine children receive today in the United States is non-steralizing. If this anti-vaxxer assumption was meaningful, we wouldn't have fewer cases of polio. >We did this for chicken pox until a couple decades ago. Fun, because that's having great side effects, notably, that shingles sucks ass, and now that there isn't a giant amount of chickenpox virus in every closed space because kids are vaccinated, my generation has a 1/3 chance to develop shingles, even at a young age. Meanwhile, those kids that were vaccinated do not have such worries. Oh, and >get the disease, recover, develop antibodies, and be done with it I guess you aren't familiar with people getting covid multiple times, regardless of vaccination status? It's like how everyone told my mom you can't get mono more than once, despite her having flare ups every year. The public never knew shit about infectious agents and I really don't care about their opinion, much in the same way I don't ask my grandfather who stopped using Windows in 1996 where to find the network settings.

  I'm not familiar with _unvaxed_ people getting coronavirus multiple times (prior infection confirmed by antibody blood test). I got it once and blood tests show continued strong antibodies. Since then I haven't even had the flu in a couple years. I have heard of many vaxed people getting coronavirus multiple times, including prominent world leaders.

      Do they know this from a blood test that looks for antibodies? That is what I did for testing. The nasal swab amplication test looks for fragments in the air intake filter, not actual infection. By the way, I had vaccines for polio measles tetanus and others. Being in decent physical health, my doctor confirmed I was not in a risk group which would benefit from the jab which was authorized for emergency use only. The risk/reward for my profile was not worth it.
