There’s no rolling the dice, if you’ve been infected in the past you’re protected.
If I hadn’t been infected at some point I’d reconsider my position, but there’s no need for me to now, other than to appease pro-vaxxers, or to comply so we can get rid of the masks and get back to normal. I have no plans to get an unneeded shot for the purpose of earning back liberties that should’ve never been taken.
We are more or less saying the same thing. Prior infections and the vaccine both provide protection. Even without antibodies present, at this point people have had time to make their choice, and it is still a very low mortality virus. It’s our individual choice, not the government’s. If people want to go on with or without the antibodies, we should let them, not further restrict everyone.
