Wish where I lived had lockdowns. 48% vacc rate and winter coming, everyone acting like it's finished already. Gonna blow up again.
Wouldn't you have a large number of people with natural immunity as well as the vaccination protection of people?

They say low risk for 6 months after infection. Sounds like people who got it around this time last year during a spike are at risk again.

Even if you don't get a new mutation as bad because you got one previously, you can still spread that ****.

Doing something because everybody else does is the definition of being a sheep.

I'm not giving him **** for not having the vaccination. But in his case he had a lot to lose.

I bet you could find thousands of anti vaxxers would happily change their tune if you offered them his salary

Had a family member who didn't want to get it I am pretty sure just because she doesn't like being told what to do.
Other than 'because I just don't want to' the best argument was her friend didn't want to get it 'because of RNA'.
I asked if she knows anything about RNA and she said 'no but my friend is a nurse' and a I said I don't think nurses really have expertise at a DNA/RNA level. She ended up getting it anyway to keep her job, nurse friend now unemployed.
Worth noting her friend also backflipped from vegan to strictly animal products too, so she def doesn't mind a wild take.

In regards to what HB said I have other rellies who had a close person friend get flu vax and become 'locked in' for like a couple years and actually made a full recovery. Pretty horrific though.
But tbh unless it has really directly impacted you worrying about the risk of something like that you probably shouldn't be driving either, as that is wayyy more likely to **** you up.

The vaccine was created based off the Wuhan strain. The further time goes on the less effective it will be as the virus mutates and changes. Infection of the COVID virus is a broad infection with multiple spike proteins. Not one like the mRNA vaccine. The broad nature of natural immunity means that as the virus mutates and changes you will likely hold greater immunity to new strains than the vaccine.

Yes you can get the virus again after infection and antibody counts are higher soon after vaccination, but that actually doesn't mean you have a higher risk of severe illness with reinfection.
