Having a broad response via vaccination helps, even if you have antibodies from prior exposure.
Vaccination only provides an immune response for the spike protein, not a broad response.
People with natural immunity aren't even getting infected in any meaningful numbers, while fully vaccinated individuals are getting infected left and right.
If you are unvaccinated and have not had the disease, then if you get infected your prognosis is much poorer than being vaccinated.
If you are vaccinated and get infected, you have a better outcome.
If you are both vaccinated and have had prior immunity, see the discussion on other threads in this discussion.
If you are unvaccinated and previously got infected, you now have a much better outcome than being vaccinated, including from future variants of the virus.
> "I've had COVID - therefore I don't need to get the vaccine." Turns out that's not entirely true. On Friday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention released a study reporting that individuals who've had COVID are twice as likely to get reinfected
The article makes it sounds as if prior infection makes it 2x as likely to get infected as having the vaccine.
In reality, the study is only comparing previously infected individuals. So it's "just Covid" vs "Covid + vaccine". This is obvious. My original claim is, that "just Covid" is better (or equally good) as "just vaccine".
It looks a lot like you are looking for reasons to ignore the evidence. No one can help you if contrarianism is your end goal, and you can harm others plenty.
And, this is exactly why youtube is banning speech right now.
For people who've had Covid before, vaccine is simply redundant. (If you disagree, please provide sources / data for your view.) Of course, getting vaccinated would increase their immune system's response, but so would for someone who was vaccinated a month ago... at some point, it has to be "good enough" for normal life (not 100% safe anyways).
