Sounds very similar in efficacy/safety yet Nat immunity still completely ignored in the US.

Headline is right though. Taking the vaccine is much safer than catching Covid.

Yea I agree with all that. Never disputed it.

But for those that already caught Covid the discussion is a bit different imo.

It’s considered anti-vax

 

[ChicagoFigure]

But why?

Vaxx or nothing.

Yea SOME ppl with antivax misinformation are using the hash tag.

But it's mostly government not wanting ppl to get the idea catching Covid is better than preventing covid with a vaxx.

So with that goes actual natural immunity discussion with substance that at first was simply being ignored...now being outright censored.

Create a Boogeyman, throw labels on em, associate them with other Boogeymen.... tribalism kicks into high gear.

Before Covid ppl talked about reluctance to see family during holidays due to political differences.

This time around it's vaccines.

We stay divided over everything.

I believe he acknowledged Nat immunity a while back

Yep. I don’t think people should be forced to get the vaccine if they have natural immunity, but I think Americans are too stupid to blindly say natural immunity > vaxxed and give those with natural immunity any leeway. That messaging has to be very carefully curated.

 

[Mister B. M. Ed.]

But why?

Because it’s fuckin asinine.

This is 100x a better approach than saying ignore it completely.
