Check if someone has "strong" immunity is much more complicated and expensive than simply vaxxing them. It's not just a matter of confirming that they have "some" immunity.
Well if you did in your 20s the chances you die from Covid are miniscule. 3 deaths per 100,000 infections. And I will add that if you are healthy you have effectively zero chance.
Chances of death are slim, but chances of losing a week out of education or a week's worth of shifts are significantly higher. At that age how many of us could have afforded to be sick in bed for a week, especially if you're on a pay per gig basis. No shift, no food.
Ironically, this is still considerably higher than your chances from the vax. See link 8 in my signature.
I'm against mandatory vaxxing of kids at a state or federal level purely on libertarian grounds, but private organisations should be allowed to make up their own minds
We estimate that 22,000 - 30,000 previously uninfected adults aged 18-29 must be boosted with an mRNA vaccine to prevent one COVID-19 hospitalisation. Using CDC and sponsor-reported adverse event data, we find that booster mandates may cause a net expected harm: per COVID-19 hospitalisation prevented in previously uninfected young adults, we anticipate 18 to 98 serious adverse events, including 1.7 to 3.0 booster-associated myocarditis cases in males, and 1,373 to 3,234 cases of grade ≥3 reactogenicity which interferes with daily activities. Given the high prevalence of post-infection immunity, this risk-benefit profile is even less favourable

I still can't get my head around how billions of people have become so compliant, Easily brainwashed and downright dumbasses.

You weren't following science. You were following orders. You just got pushed into your pen by the dog and his master. Baa

is there at least the possibility in your mind that it is you who has been brainwashed by the sources that informed you about the subject?
can you give me a reputable scientific source that shows that vaccination is potentially life-threatening for everyone?
Brad is telling me to expect this post to be deleted within the next few hours. Rules of the board state that it is fine to post threads attacking those who have chosen to take the shot but should you go against this agenda/narrative or dare to ask for anything resembling facts. Prepare to be deleted.
who is brad?): i don't think anything will be deleted, at least i hope so. by the way: i probably won't get the 4th shot. had the # two weeks ago, wasn't fun but i have hope that our immune system will slowly adjust to the virus. but i'm not a scientist - and continue to trust the advice of virologists. greetings from munich!

I see you already spotted this. I'm reading the paper now, he's really done no favours to the masters with this signature link.
Setting: Japan
Participants Vaccinated population was 99 834 543 individuals aged 12 years and older who have been received SARS-CoV-2 vaccine once or twice by 14 February 2022. Reference population was defined persons aged 10 years and older from 2017 to 2019.
Conclusion
SARS-CoV-2 vaccination was associated with higher risk of myocarditis death, not only in young adults but also in all age groups including the elderly. Considering healthy vaccinee effect, the risk may be 4 times or higher than the apparent risk of myocarditis death. Underreporting should also be considered. Based on this study, risk of myocarditis following SARS-CoV-2 vaccination may be more serious than that reported previously.
Further conclusions and policy implications
Despite above limitations, this study revealed that SARS-CoV-2 vaccination was associated with higher mortality rate from myocarditis, especially in young adults compared with 2017 to 2019 population. But it also revealed that myocarditis death occurs in older persons. If healthy-vaccinee effect is taken into account, the risk increases at least approximately 4 times more than the unadjusted mortality risk. In addition, underreporting deaths after receiving vaccine should be considered. Based on the results of this study, it is necessary to inform public about that the risk of serious myocarditis including death may be far more serious than the risk reported before and that it occurs not only in young persons but also in elderly.

Yeah, we know. We've been dealing with it for a couple years now.
So you accept that chances are very slim hence you have no valid arguments and claims
And yes myself and others have already checked your link several times and it still refutes your claims.

Go on, quote the rest of my comment where I layed out several valid arguments, such as preventing sickness.
And yes myself and others have already checked your link several times and it still refutes your claims.
My claim was that the risks of sickness and death were lower from the vax than covid which the source confirms.
The source includes mild flu like symptoms as "harm", so rather than refuting me they verify what I'm saying. Which you absolutely must have understood having read it. But you still chose to say otherwise. Were you banking on other people not reading it and simply accepting what you said at face value?
You seem to be basing everything on the premises that people won't get covid, or that it won't effect them badly, vaxxing isn't to protect them, it's for the ones who have comorbidity or who get covid badly.
The problem is that we can't tell which is which until the get covid, by which time the horse has already bolted.
The fact remains that a young person has less than a 0.002 percent chance of serious harm from the vax, but a far greater risk from covid. Even if its only mild they will still miss at least a weeks worth of classes or shifts, and in 2022, what 20 something can afford to lose a week's worth of pay?

Because billions of people don't think for themselves. They just do what they're told

From Link 8 in your profile genius:

I can't wait for the mental gymnastics as you try to refute your own source.

addition why someone who may have been infected and developed robust and very strong natural immunity has to be vaccinated
From a health perspective, they don't. I'm perfectly happy acknowledging that natural immunity is absolutely a good thing and offers wide and long lasting protection.
The problem come with dealing with people who lie and say that they have natural immunity when they don't. It's simpler and more cost effective to vax them than to fact check them.
If you want to claim natural immunity then you should foot the bill yourself.
Of course getting covid does not guarantee that you get strong immunity. People who get mild or asymptomatic covid may only have weak immunity. Plus natural immunity fades with time, so having covid in 2020 means you still need boosting occasionally, just like with the flu, or any one of the other virus that have boosters
