I used to think that it was kind of good to train your immune system (kind of whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger). I no longer believe that. Vaccines are a method of training your immune system…

Based upon their comment talking about vaccines being good, I'm assuming they mean catching something intentionally to train your body at a convenient time. I remember 30 years ago kids used to be put together if one had chicken pox so the others could catch it to get it out of the way. Covid parties, etc. This is now considered a bad move.

... for now.

After seeing studies like this, and how the shingles vaccine reduces dimensia, I have become increasingly convinced that it’s bad to get almost any disease, even transiently. I used to think that it was kind of good to train your immune system (kind of whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger). I no longer believe that. I believe that diseases often cause unknown effects and it’s better to avoid disease entirely,…

I am now pretty certain every virus we have ever caught is just smouldering in our body somewhere constantly held in check by the immune system. We seem to just accumulate ever increasing issues until our body can't cope anymore and become symptomatic with damage and then ultimately die. We have had a huge blindspot for the damage viruses are doing to people, I doubt any infection leaves us. The research from Covid i…

Most everything is bad for you health. Attempting to avoid most things bad for your health is probably bad for your health. Don't overthink it and just enjoy you time.

That’s impossible to know either way.

I'm not asking for evidence, just vibes. I like to think I'd have the perspective to be grateful, but I also know it's just as likely I'd be searching for something to blame other than just the statistics.

I think what I mean is just that from an individual standpoint we can’t really answer that and it’s not how vaccine evidence is collected or decisions are made. Those are always made at the population level. (Vaccine harms 1 in every 100, disease 10/100, ergo better to get the vaccine). But this says very little or nothing even about that 1/100 that was harmed. They definitely might have been better off not getting it.
