Unfortunately we have 2 sets of crazies on both sides who leave no room for the voice of reason and sanity.

Your natural antibodies are superior to the vaccine. If you have recovered from the disease and have the antibodies you would be a fool to take the vaccine. They've been misinforming you all along as always to get you to take the vaccines.
Your natural immunity to Covid - gained if you have contracted the disease - is not necessarily better than vaccine-caused immunity. There are numerous factors, including the length of time since first contracting the disease, as immunity reduces over time.
Natural immunity differs from vaccine-given immunity.
It's wrong to say natural antibodies are superior.
It would be better to take the vaccine, even if you think you have natural immunity.
On alternatives to vaccinations, I favour rubbing cow manure and honey on my cheeks having eaten a slug - it's a tried and tested Medieval remedy.
The title to this OP coincides with what I'm hearing from people that work in Healthcare. Had an ER nurse as a customer last week saying she was seeing as many vaccinated as un- vaccinated showing up with symptoms in the ER, and that 4 of the six she moved from ER to ICU had both shots.
Separately, I'm starting to see data that symptomatic vaxed people are testing positive at lower CT values than unvacced. Low to mid 20s for vaxxed and high 20s to low 30's for unvaxxed. My layman's thoughts are lower Ct positive equals higher viral load. Does this mean that the vaxed carry a higher viral load before showing symptoms because of the resistance the vax does offer? And, wouldn't this make the vaxed that get infected more likely to spread it than the non?

The vast majority are those who are older or at risk, such as patients with a transplant history. Medications are usually treating symptoms keeping them alive until the infection passes, and then medications for whatever damage has been caused during the infection. Different people have different presentations so there is no one size fits all treatment course.
My floor doesn't get much in the way of minor illness, everyone we get is extremely sick, or post op observation.
My wife is an RN as well, neuro, her experience is similar to mine. We have both had a few patients there due to serious issues because of the vaccine, but many many more who have come because of those same issues from covid.

Literally nothing in your post had anything to do with my post. Nothing in my post had anything to do with how I work as a nurse as it has nothing to do with the subject. My post was about data and actual clinic experience, your post contained neither, wonder why?

It is great that these vaccines prevent serious effects and hospitalization. However, that is not the metric by which "protocols" and "restrictions" are decided. Cases are the metric being used to implement restrictions, not hospitalizations or deaths. So how do we ever get to the end when the vaccine still allows cases to spread?
Well everyone keeps talking about natural immunity being the best thing ever and will prevent further infections. So I imagine a vaccine that keeps people alive will result in people living to get natural immunity.

Then you must love that the vaccinated still get infected with delta but have milder symptoms. People that would die survive and get natural immunity. Seems perfect.

“Lab crated antidote” is not good eh? What about Insulin?
