amazing! I'd love to get this implanted!
How about a “been there done that, now naturally inoculated” badge?

While I’m all for vaccination, I’m concerned that its advocacy is moving past scientific and reaching religious fervor.

You are not the only one!

I've been following recent developments in Israel closely. And the numbers, I've always prioritized numbers over adjectives. There's no good way to asses risk without numbers.

Yeah, but get ready for downvotes or this being moved out of sight.

Glad to hear someone else talking about the need to have data on. Natural immunity

we had two 100+ comment threads on studies about natural immunity in the past day on HN, but sure this is such an underrepresented topic...
Compared with the vast proliferation of “not vaxxed? hope you die” posts on major social media, and a propaganda[0] machine pushing “get vax or you’re bad”, and governments pushing “get vaxxed or get blocked from society” legislation, seems a couple threads with a few dozen “hey, there’s other inoculation too” isn’t a balance.

[0 - when major publications all push the same message without dissent, it’s propaganda]

Part of the problem with that is that a lot of people thought they had covid but never got tested. I suspect a great deal of those people didn't actually have covid.
If anything, being against it is much more akin to a religious fervor.
The smallpox vaccine comes with a built-in badge, it's pretty cool.
More uselful things to assist with in the world than this useless project.
Looks like cult paraphernalia. Probably because it is.
