I know a solid split amongst liberals and conservatives who dont want the vaccine for various reasons, as well as a couple muslims who dont want it for their personal reasons. The more educated people I know seem to think people with natural immunity have the best protection, and also know that iffy vaccines have a bigger chance of producing more variants than natural immunity. Problem is, natural immunity wont allow companies and their government and media pals make billions of dollars. Your post is divisive and sad. I thought "my body my choice" was a liberal thing btw? I was a hard core liberal most of my life, and not trusting the FDA (who approves cigs but wont approve melatonin as a viable sleep aid amongst other things) and the pharm industries was in fact a liberal issue for many years. The older hippy folks are natural medicine lovers, which is constantly rejected by the FDA and pharma industry despite real evidence of viability. Oh how times have changes lol! Modern liberals are more like statist dictators these days it seems. Finger pointers.
As many predicted, and now even Bloomberg is saying it. Natural immunity is better than the vaccines. This would be the first "pandemic" in history where surviving the sickness didnt give you long lasting natural immunity, including Spanish flu and Sars. People who survived Sars in 2013 still have natural immunity to it. Covid has over a 99% survival rate and we are accusing people of ridiculous things for not wanting an experimental vaccine that is now being proven to not be nearly as effective than natural immunity.

It will be interesting to see how it all plays out in the end. A popular fella local to my area died from Covid yesterday. He was in his early 80's, and was vaccinated. All this will do is make more people not want the vaccine, based on the comments I read about him on Facebook. For the record he was a long time local Democrat politician.
More misinformation from you in a continuous stream of misinformation.
You are either deceitfully or ignorantly trying to compare getting Covid a second time to getting Covid a first time.
In order to get the “natural” or acquired immunity one gets from contracting a disease, you have to first get the disease. Whereas, the acquired immunity you get from a vaccine prevents you from getting the disease the first time (not 100% of the time, but in accordance the vaccine’s efficacy.)
Also, from your article, “Giving a single shot of the vaccine to those who had been previously infected also appeared to boost their protection.” Which indicates getting vaccinated after recovering from Covid gives additional protection than recovering from the infection alone. This conclusion concurs with other studies. Something you have tried to cast doubt on previously, so I’m not surprised you didn’t mention it.
So I ask you which would you prefer, the “natural” immunity you get to a second case of rabies after your first case of rabies (which you won’t survive) or the acquired immunity to rabies from the vaccine so you don’t get your first (universally fatal) rabies infection?
The vast majority of “educated” people I know recommend getting a vaccine for a vaccine preventable disease rather than getting the disease.
Would you prefer getting meningitis or the meningitis vaccine to prevent meningitis? I’m just spit ballin’ here, but I think must people prefer not getting meningitis. “Educated” or otherwise.
And the FDA didn’t approve cigarettes. A ten second Google search could disprove that false claim.
