#1 Let's hear it from the site's resident asshole - g(r)om, take it away!

#2 Pardon my layman ignorance, but isn't natural immunity a nuance of evolution itself? So it arrives concurrently with yet developing diseases and contends with evolving viruses. At its own rate.

What does one do to achieve immunity for something a)exceedingly virulent, (b)deliberately constructed to (c)infect billions suddenly? One surely develops vaccines. As I understand it, this involves exposure in a controlled manner to the very thing. Again, excuse my ignorance if this is not so.

Does one make mistakes because the evil sons of whores have had decades to create their bioweapon and we have only months to find cures and engineer an induced immunity? Sure. I suppose one minimizes the risks to the population too, because without the population... there is no point in lording it over our States, and no one left to lord over.

Is natural immunity more effective than a shot? Definitely. Have you time to evolve it fast enough to fight the rapidly unfolding CoV package of chaos? I think not. One cannot discount the profit motivations of big pharma and the callousness of governments, not to mention the compulsion to control and coerce. Which is where all this mistrust is generated. I think it would be a good idea to examine the science, and not the statistics when forming our opinions. One simply cannot trust the numbers and graphs in a time when more people show up to elect a man than are living in a district. Gromgoru may be casually dismissive of people he thinks are intellectually inferior, an irritating quality to some, but one thing about him he always points to the science of the thing. Of course I am not in favor of boots on the neck immunization or adding the cancel culture to vaccine protocols, but the public should debate and ascertain for themselves, sans fear mongering and blind anti-establishment rhetoric.

#3 Covid - even if it don't kills one - can bring permanent impairments (google "long covid"). So, by all means seek natural immunity.

p.s. Long Covid doesn't explain raj - IMO he was born this way.

pp.s. My advice to the "five protein" genius who wrote the article, google "affinity maturation".

#8 Not my comment.

The flu virus, like HIV, notoriously mutates. So you are getting a shot for a *different* flu each year. The COVID jab loses effectiveness against the *same* SARS-COV-2 virus.

#9 IF we had immediately started work on a better vaccine instead of sticking to the crummy emergency one and hoping it’ll work better the third time around....

#10 The Science is c-19 is with us forever. There will be no cure.

Group thinkers (r) and apologizers (Drone) can write all they want, it won't change anything.

(r) has wished financial ruin and death upon first the Unmasked and now the Unvaxed. He has transferred his vile and hate towards Palestinians to white Americans. To write an "Aww shucks give the guy a break" comment indicates Drone willful ignorance of the filth (r) has written on this site.
To you both, I wish upon you what you wish upon us.
Keep taking your boosters suckers.

#11 The Science is c-19 is with us forever. There will be no cure.

That's a pretty glum way of looking at anything, Unvaxed. The eggheads won't give up like that and thank heaven for it.

Well, I wish you to be safe so that's alright.

#12 Left unstated and unconsidered is the duration of natural immunity to COVID-19. Natural immunity to other coronaviruses seems rather short, and this explains why most of us get infected by similar coronaviruses over and over again.

#13 the virus is doing just what its creators want, even here at the "burg. That is to divide people. And its working quite well, look at the little spats that happen here...

it's a nearly benign sickness , the propaganda associated with it is what is dividing people

#14 Yes.

What is alarming, is the percentage of people who are infected with the "Get in Children's Faces and Scream Them Into Submission!"

You got an entire generation jumpier than field mice on plow day, and y'all roostering around like you did something noble.

#15 I real hate seeing it divide the good folks here at the burg. we need to revisit the idea of "the middle ground"

#18 I have always wondered what would happen with increased population. As Obama said this is the new normal. We have now in a steady decline in people skills. The phone and television have lead the way. Right and wrong no longer matter. We have become expendable numbers. The herd is actively being culled. Increasingly people are refusing to be managed. All business activity will decline as many are forced out of work. The non vaxed will be denied medical care. The pressure cooker has no relief valve. The show must go on down, and further down. No bottom to be seen as yet.

#19 I know more and more people who were fully vaccinated or previously infected, and even have low co-morbidities and very modest group exposure, who are being hospitalized with severe covid now.

#21 The non vaxed will be denied medical care.

Interesting question. What is the better choice for overall health? Get the vaccine, or give up access to what we call healthcare? Off the cuff I'd think most would be better off without the vaccine until their 60's. At some point you'll want chemo or a stent. Until then you are better off with COVID.
