> At the time it may have seemed wild, but now it has been proven to be the most effective immunity.
It's wild because immunity is useful for preventing infection (also, reducing the severity of infection). There's little point catching the thing you don't want to catch in order to prevent you catching it, because you still. suffer. the. harm. of having been infected.
There are way better options, like third doses of vaccines. Or revising the vaccines for Delta. Besides, if you want something 'like' a small dose of coronavirus, it would be far safer to attenuate the coronavirus first. Then you just have a classic vaccine.
The study shows natural immunity with a single dose is the most effective. I have little faith in a vaccine that can't be trusted to mitigate a controlled infection. What would be the point of the vaccine if it only "might" help prevent infection? Otherwise, if it is only effective %5 of the time but has nasty side effects 1% of the time, then you're taking a much bigger risk don't you think?
Wow, you really do want to condition people to ignore or disregard anything someone says as long as you say antivax. It is like the word Nazi. Doesn't matter what actually happens, you'd want to be able to call someone a Nazi and have someone mindlessly punch them in the face.
A vaccine preventing the seriousness of infection is a precondition. If I get a vaccine and it does nothing it is pointless. While most vaccinated act like political drones, if you told them than the vaccine actually does nothing to prevent the spread and vaccinated people are still frequently dying from COVID then I'm sure a lot of them would not be getting it.
