Covid 19 conspiracies dump

[Rev. Rye]

I should point out that you explicitly stated it's better, not just in this thread, but in this very page of the thread. And even when you cited a paper from the CDC, they pointed out that, even if natural immunity is fairly good, vaccination is both more effective and safer. The same damn paper that you cited.

Hell, its last sentence was, and I quote:

What the fuck are you even talking about?

Of course they are going to suggest boosters. They're the freakin CDC. That doesn't mean that their data shows that taking a booster is necessary when you already have natural immunity. Look at the actual data, my dude, rather than focusing on a sentence. You know better than that. The data shows that natural immunity is better than someone who has been vaccinated but has not contracted covid. Show me where the data shows that Dr. John Campbell is incorrect in his summary of the data.

I'm looking at it right now. And while that part about how unvaccinated cases with a previous diagnosis have a lower hazard rate than vaccinated cases without a previous diagnosis, there's one more category you failed to include in your analysis: people who are both vaccinated and had a previous case. And where do those cases rank in the heirarchy provided by that paper? Those who both had the vaccine and the virus. So, whether or not you had the virus naturally, it's still better to have the jab just in case. Indeed, the fact that you had the first two doses of the vaccine might have helped make your case so comparatively mild.

The fact that Omicron has a reputation for being a "milder" variant is largely down to the fact that, while it's better at getting past your immune defenses than the previous variants, if you're vaccinated, your immune system is better at dealing with it. If you're not, it's still bad enough to put you in the hospital.
