Before everybody from the more esoteric communities chines in with some new reason why we all should immunize "naturally", let's not oversee that breakthrough infections were triggering the same effect.

Also, in general you don't want your immune system to be more aggressive/destructive than necessary when you consider having to rebuild tissue afterwards, which also might include more risks the older you get.

In the case if an infection not seeming life-threatening to your body, a softening of the overall reaction might actually just be the right path to persue. The question is whether we want that in this case or whether we want to further move that towards a more protective optimum in the future with these insights.

For the "I knew it" and "we should have waited" discussion, I personally prefer an early protection, even with a lower reaction, that still keeps me from being hospitalized over being nakedly exposed like we were in the early days of that pandemic. We might have forgotten about this with the current "mild" Omicron variant.

I would love to see the study include severe breakthrough infections, if there are any, to see if the dampening effect and antibody distribution would be different in these cases.

Source? And why are the non-mRNA vax not showing this effect?

Unless you were elderly (over 60 or 65) or have comorbidities, it should have at least been a choice to take it or not take it. Instead we got mandates and sold the dream of the vax ending the pandemic.

Why is naturally in quotes? Do you deny the immune system exists? I'm vaxxed, but this sort of conspiratorial writing and discourse coming from the vaccine pushers is harmful to science and flies in the face of reality. The immune system exists. The human immune system is capable of learning
