Hear me out. Vaccines help. No doubt.
But pre vaccine - 40% of infected with covid were Asymptomatic and 80% would get no worse than mild symptoms.
Post vaccine - we learned that 80% are asymptomatic and 95% only suffer mild symptoms …
That shows protection.
That being said. Those same people who have covid who have take. the vaccine could have also been fine without it (assumption based on the numbers above) I can’t prove that obviously due to the fact that we will never know.
I guess my point is that the immune system in your body is badass - and fights off diseases every day and kicks it in the ass.
I think we have lost ourselves when we say that the vaccination is the only way to beat this when most do anyway.
I think the vulnerable and the elderly need it. I just think we are giving too much credit to it when covid existed before vaccines and there was a very high recovery rate and we know it killed off people that were super vulnerable.
Not a vaccine hate post - but also need to add some perspective because I think we have tipped over to the other side of, if you didn’t get a vaccine you are stupid and selfish and should have no rights.

Getting the vaccine also reduces the likelihood that you pass it to an individual who isn't as healthy, or just has the wrong DNA for this virus.
Your take is a pretty narrow view of a multi layered thing.
