So you think mRNA vaccine is more effective than millions of years experienced and evolved immune system? I would like so but I'm afraid that's not the case.

The vaccines (of all types) aren't somehow an alternate to our immune systems, they're a way to boost our immune systems' response. And yes, they do make the immune system significantly more effective in responding to COVID infection. Go read this: https://www.covid-datascience.com/post/israeli-data-how-can-...
>The vaccines (of all types) aren't somehow an alternate to our immune systems, they're a way to boost our immune systems' response. And yes, they do make the immune system significantly more effective in responding to COVID infection.

Vitamin D and Vitamin B are also a way to boost our immune system. Why should I get vaccinated if I'm young and healthy and can take Vitamin D and Vitamin B.

How should I know if my immune system is strong enough to respond and heal from COVID and how should I know what are long term side effects of mRNA vaccine?

You should get vaccinated so the rest of us can get back to our lives.

People have known about the vitamin D connection since almost the beginning of the pandemic and it wasn't until the vaccine was rolled out in the United States that cases and deaths dropped to all time lows. (and then delta variant happened)

Besides, the findings on vitamin D are weak at best, were not even sure if the relationship is causal.

The research is sparse, but the point isn't whether the effect exists, it's that if vitamin D supplements provided 90+% protection against catching covid in the same way mrna vaccines do, it would be more obvious.

This isn't going to get much better so long as we have such a large unvaccinated population playing host to mutations and clogging up the hospital system.

Vaccinated people can still spread virus but I know at lower rate that's what you gonna tell me..whatever
