He mentions he had Covid before the vaccines came out. Are we still pretending Natural Immunity < Vaccine induced immunity?

I hate the stupidity of this bullshit. Of course catching sars-cov-2 is going to provide a broader profile against which your immune system can develop matches: the vaccine only has the spike, while the virus has the spike plus other key proteins and signals. No shit Sherlock! BUT AT THE SAME TIME the virus is orders of magnitude more dangerous. The only people playing pretend are the ones who keep FUDing about the vaccine.

Remember when we were assured that the vaccine’s spike protein would remain mostly in the injection site at the shoulder muscle or local lymph nodes? And only for a very limited period of time? This was by the experts.

Still, it’s much worse to catch the virus, especially before training one’s immune system through vaccination.
