If I'm reading the charts correctly, the incidence of infection after recovering from Covid is around 13-15 per 100k after 6-8 months, and after recovering from Covid + Vaccination is around 10-14 per 100k after 6-8 months.

So it seems like vaccination does not present a clear benefit for someone that recovered from Covid? (The confidence intervals overlap)

I think the main benefit is that taking vaccine re-sets the timer on your dimnishing immunity from prior infection.

So if you had covid 8 months ago, but took the vaccine last month you have significantly better immunity than if you didn't.

While a person that took vaccine 8 months ago and was also sick even further back (for example 12 months ago), has roughly the same immunity as a person who was sick 8 months ago and didn't vaccinate.

>does not present a clear benefit

It sounds like youre operating from a premise of unnecessary doses being slightly bad, vs slightly good. Is there a clear benefit to not taking pascals wager?

The premise that injecting experimental substances in my body is not necessarily a good thing.

[scotty79]

With over 6 billion doses taken worldwide it's currently about as experimental as aspirin.

[Bancakes]

We know how and why aspirin works, and we've had it for decades. I don't want to live through class actions and apologies for long term vaccine effects.

[basch]

lets say you have 40 years of life left. are you going to wait 40 years for data? is the 10 they have not enough? 1 more year? 5?

the premise that long term effects exist is also quite a leap.

i think a premise of "this is bad until i know it is good" will be one youll never satisfactorily escape.

[Bancakes]

I'm not interested in vaccines and it's not my job to be. There are scientists who dedicate their lives, and I'm waiting for results. Asking when I'm satisfied is asking a Las Vegas algorithm when its satisfied - it's irrelevant.
