I have a question for all the ones who say my children have had COVID and I can’t wait to get them vaccinated. I am just very curious and it an answer I would like to hear to understand in why when they have had it do you want them vaccinated. does nobody believe in natural immunity no more??? Especially when say they have barely had a symptom. Nobody knows the long terms affects so for people say it safe you really are summarising that fact. As Bill Gates stated if you want to know the long term affects of a new drug you need to wait ten years🤯
does nobody believe in natural immunity no more???
No one is denying that individuals gain some immunity from infection, but it is has been demstrated repeatedly that infection + vaccination offers the best protection.
I think of it as water into a leaky bottle. You want to get the level up to the top, but the water will slowly be draining out.
Repeated exposure and infection will keep topping up the bottle, as will vaccination. You want to keep the level high in everyone's bottles and that's how we get to a population level immunity situation.
Vaccination is the safer option to top up the bottle, and adds to the level of pre-existing immunity, which is why I think it makes sense to include it, rather than relying on repeated exposure alone.
It's the same model as for 'flu, but it just isn't an issue like coronavirus because everyone has been exposed from as early when you were in utero, getting your mums antibodies and then repeated exposure once you're born. We'll get there with coronavirus, but it will take a couple more years.
