    There are a few cases where the vaccine works better to create an immune response than exposure to the organism "in the wild". HPPV is the classic example., and shingles (chicken pox) is another case where a vaccine improves natural immunity. However, in the vast majority of diseases affecting humans, exposure to the live infectious agent creates a faster, longer lasting immune response.

    There is no trustworthy data on the length of immunity created by any of the C19 vaccines, but we do know that people that survived a similar (but different) virus 15 years ago (SARS) still have T cell immune response to C19. There is, however, considerable data coming out daily that particularly the Pfizer vaccine is losing effectiveness very rapidly, especially to the variants. Unpublished (pre- peer review) data from Minnesota (a group including Mayo Clinic researchers) pegs the Pfizer efficacy number at 43%. That's rather appalling efficacy.

    No one has stepped forward with their in depth knowledge to explain this. Guess I’ll keep waiting while my immune system does it’s job.

    Everybody that functions properly gets natural immunity. AFTER it's happened.

    Everybody that gets covid gets immunity. Immunity is a short lived thing. Thus the vaccine. And now boosters.

    Covid isn't something to be taking lightly either. You can all talk tough. But if you're right for the taking. Covid WILL take you.

    The vaccine doesn't stop your from getting it. It's only 94% effective. Not 100%. But it DOES help you in fighting it. And lessens your chances of dieing.

    You stand a much better chance with the shot then without.

    I'll bet all the unvaccinated dead are wishing they got it.

    A deadly virus has killed thousands around the world and truck driver's are dumb enough to believe as they travel abroad the country,

    Mask don't work.
    Their freedom is being taken away.
    Vaccines don't work or not worth getting.
    That the government is trying to control them.
    That they have been lied to about the virus or vaccines.

    Driving kills thousands around the world every year. It's called living.
    Nothing in life is safe, and if you are too scared to live life that's your problem, no one else's.

    Also, thanks for finely paying attention to science and admit masks don't work.

    You're pulling all of these amazing scientific proclamations out of your butt without a single link to back up even one of your assertions. Care to elaborate?

    Well, someone on this thread is. My theory is the guy that is claiming natural immunity is short lived......
