Care worker sacked for refusing Covid vaccination ( Archived) (106)

It would seem natural immunity as a result of contracting the illness gives better and longer lasting protection than the vaccine. Of course, assuming the vaccine is safe, topping that immunity up with the vaccine could be seen as a reasonable extra precaution.
There is quite a difference in the lengh of protection with the different vaccines, Johnson & Johnson giving a considerably shorter period of protection than the other vaccines being used. But in extensive tests none of the vaccines provided as much and as long lasting protection and antibodies than natural immunity.

Im not defending any point of view in the following, but it does illustrate the picture, a bit. And, as I’ve said before, here in the U.S., much of what we do, ie, public policy, is in direct conflict with what we said we wanted when the country was chartered. We have, indeed, become what we fled. One cannot put up a hedge, fence, tree, etc…without going through a complicated process, and paying a substantial fee. Cannot build a house without same, add a room, deck, pool, etc…cannot rent unless you prove an income level, rent a car unless you have a credit card, hotel, cruise, air fare all contingent on forced purchase of credit. Hundreds more of these policies that fly in the face of freedom. Hell, you’re not allowed to vote against party in a primary election. Cannot protest on or too near private enterprise even if they operate with government funds. Thousands more…kind of makes the vaccination argument a bit shallow…although I do understand. It’s tough to live in a contrary world. Gotta cowboy up…

I don't know why anybody with natural immunity would get a vaccine. They were fine catching it the first time with neither. And first is the worst.

Even if it was safe. I think that on moral grounds we have no right to pretend to be that vulnerable and high maintenance, there are people starving in the world.

And by accident or by design they're killing the poor through inflation. The only proper thing to do is to behave in a deflationary way. We must save the world by showing just how stoic and deflating we can be.
