And those vaccinated have the same immunity as those who had the disease, in some cases better if the vaccine is derived from multiple strains.
The immune system is not like a muscle - it doesn't get stronger with use.
That may be so, but all I can do is take what myself have observed,
Yep. Same here. What I've observed are people dying from illnesses they could have easily been vaccinated from.
Even if it doesn't kill you, getting a disease can have lasting effects. Shingles is a perfect example. I've talked to people who have parents who are anti-vax and, sure, they survived, but they've also had to take far more sick days from school or work.
I've also observed a simple study of history. People were terrified of small pox until doctors kicked its ass with a vaccine and now it is literally extinct. I've observed that polio has gotten much less common since we created a vaccine for it. I've observed that there have only been a handful of cases of people contracting yellow fever since the vaccination for it came out.
Yes, I have plenty of observations based on an understanding of history and biology while you have observations that seem to be based on paranoid conspiracy theories. My vote is, take that shit over to infowars where you'll find other people who will listen to it.
