IMO Most of the "unvaccinated" are that way because they've already had covid and would rather be part of the control group for this large experiment. I just don't buy articles like this for the reason you stated.

You would be the first person that I've heard say hey I already got it, therefore I'm not getting vaccinated.

Even if you've gotten covid, go get vaccinated

The first person I heard say he's not getting vaccinated is a relative who had Covid. He was convinced by an uncle who's an ambulance driver (who later got vaccinated because they forced him and couldn't afford to lose his job).

Don't give people medical advice unless you're their personal doctor.

How about if you've already gotten covid, and are eligible to go get vaccinated, go get vaccinated.

A colleague of mine just lost his best friend. It was the second time he had the virus. They think it was two different variants.

Something like 2.4 billion people have had at least one shot of vaccine. How many more need to before you think its safe?
