> We should not force COVID vaccines on anyone when the evidence shows that naturally acquired immunity is equal to or more robust and superior to existing vaccines.
We shouldn't compare immunity. We should compare risk. And the risk associated with vaccines is nowhere near the risk associated with natural infection.
It is clear that getting immunity for naive person by vaccination is much more preferable. But in case when one has been already infected, there is no reason to admit that he has very little to gain by additional vaccination.
In any case, it is inevitable that most people will get covid – vaccinated or not. And ultimately it is only about risk reduction not elimination. We will need to evaluate that a vaccinated person with subsequent infection has considerable immunity.
