I mean, we vaccinate against the measles because they can be really nasty if things go wrong, especially long term. And because, while we know that the vax isn't perfect it's still a viable alternative statistically.
But no one that has even a modicum of knowledge would suggest that someone that was vaccinated against measles has a higher future immunity than someone that lived through an actual infection.
Yet here we are, believing corporations that have an interest in selling us something, telling us that their product can do something they have no way of knowing whatsoever and having fucking authorities parroting these lies. And all of them are still alive and free.
