the big diff between a vaccine and a previous infection is that the vaccine doesn't damage your body in the process of training your body to attack it.
Covid can wreck havoc on your body and leave it in a weaker state.
20 million people already had the virus. I’m one of them. Are we the red headed step child that we have forgotten about?
Let me change the perspective: when I get the flu because I stupidly did not get the flu shot that year, I don’t rush out and get the flu shot after the fact. I’m wondering why I would do the same with this vaccine when there are lots of evidence that first rounders are not likely to be infected even by variants (assuming low viral load)
I've been asking this same question and have yet to hear a very convincing answer.
The best answer I've heard is: it will give you "extra immunity".
Which begs the follow on question, if we're so concerned about topping off our immunity, why shouldn't people get vaccinated and revaccinated every month or two?
