Double-whammy article, second title: Secondary immune response stronger after infection than after shot

Shhhh... don't let science get in the way of the ongoing power grab by the surveillance state and the ongoing money grab by big pharma

What’s science supposed to be contradicting here? The article says Delta doesn’t make kids sicker than other variants, not that it doesn’t make them sick at all. A shot is still going to be preferable to an infection because it isn’t communicable.

The problem with infection to provide immunity is its variability, not its strength.

It's kind of moot anyways, infection + vaccine is better than just an infection.

If the immune response is comparable to that of a fully vaccinated person, we should be issuing "immunization cards" to people who have recovered.

The goal is to control the disease, not the people.

Even though all the science points to infection being better than vaccination at creating immune response, it's not accepted as an alternative. Ridiculous IMO.

What do you mean the variability?

>What’s science supposed to be contradicting here?

There is significant contention over whether the vaccine provides better immunity than prior infection with many claiming it does. "Secondary immune response stronger after infection than after shot" is in direct contradiction of that claim. I haven't read the article in sufficient detail to comment on whether or not that title is justified.

Answer is in the post you reply to. Might want to reread.
