So then, why is natural immunity being ignored? (By the way, I am double vax'd but don't understand logic in not counting natural immunity other than Pfizer won't benefit otherwise...)
Because...what if you didn't acquire natural immunity? It is EXTREMELY, EXTREMELY misleading to compare "natural immunity" vs. vaccine.
Vaccine is supposed to help prevent you from catching COVID.
Natural immunity means you
already caught COVID. Kind of defeats the purpose of preventing you from catching COVID, don't you think?
I think you misunderstand me. If you vaccinate so you will not get Covid or transmit Covid (which we now know is not true), and according to the chart, natural immunity (i.e. recovered) means you have better Covid prevention, why are vaccine passports not counting natural immunity? And why are we not studying how long natural immunity lasts? The vaccine protects against one protein (spike protein). Natural immunity protects against Covid's 29 proteins (the whole virus).
If I get Covid and my protection is longer than a vaccine which lasts only 3 - 6 months, why are some saying that you have to get the booster regardless or your vaccine passport is expired? Why would we want to get a shot every 3-6 months to be able to participate in society and also keep working (some companies in US are now requiring boosters) if we already caught Covid and have longer lasting immunity? Why are we not measuring antibodies, etc. for a vaccine pass?
Calbear, please explain this to me.
