Do I still need the vaccine if I’ve already had COVID-19? Absolutely. While we know recovering from a COVID-19 infection means you will have circulating antibodies in your system, we are still learning about how the immune system handles the antibody response after a natural infection. We’re not sure how protective the antibodies are from different kinds of infections — such as an asymptomatic infection versus a symptomatic infection. With vaccination, we know that people with healthy immune systems are getting a great antibody response. So I would recommend vaccination even after a COVID-19 infection to get the best protection. On top of that, if you live with people who are at higher risk of severe infection or may not develop a strong antibody level after vaccination, getting your own COVID-19 vaccination may make it less likely that you will transmit the virus to them.

The logic is that if everyone is vaccinated then the virus will pass through the population "safely".
There's one problem tho, everyone needs to be vaccinated all at the same time and all basically let the virus run through the population. Its virtually impossible to do that.

I'm not someone that just brushes off science.
My wife's friend buried her 47yr old healthy husband because of covid so I know it can kill
I'm tired of all the fear being shoved people.

Well Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey issued an impassioned plea for residents of her state to get vaccinated against Covid-19, arguing it was “time to start blaming the unvaccinated folks” for the disease’s continued spread.

Yet apparently we know all there is to know about how the immune system handles a brand new experimental treatment that's existed for less than a year....aight then...
I really don't understand what the "vaccinated" folks are worried about. Unless............

Anyone noticed how they've management to convince half the world that unvaccinated automatically means that you are infected?
