*Does this mean that Dubb has a bigger heart than me? 
Today I had a technician ask me about my vaccine status. I told them that while I have no plans on providing consent to vax me, I would happily sign a form giving informed consent and then waltz maskless through the nearest Covid ward to guarantee that if I have not had it, I will. I was told by this person that the antibodies are inferior to vaccines and only last a few months. I smiled and nodded. What else can you do?
Basically, if it is that important for society that I take the Vax, then I'm more than willing to provide society protection and get the damn virus. But, apparently, that is "too risky." Why is that anybody's business- I'm willing to sign the release form and take my chances...
"Oh, no sir. We will only give you a shot of vaccine derived from a dead kid which carries certain risks. We feel that risk is worth it for you to take. But we cannot allow you to take a risk that we do not approve of."
Yes my heart grew three sizes that day!
I admire the assumption of personal risk in this scenario -- everyone knows you're not afraid of no virus -- but unless you are prepared to isolate yourself and give up your essential job for a couple weeks after waltzing through the covid ward (bearing in mind that, even if you are infected, the likelihood that you notice at all is probably something less than half) the scenario is not at all analogous. The shot creates a viral dead end, you are not infected and neither is anyone else, that is what is important to society.
Immunity acquired naturally is very likely superior despite how health officials are talking now (they are more interested in promoting vaccines and not dealing with people's stories about the bad sick they had a year and a half ago and was of course very likely covid
-- U remember last year how quickly those stories popped out, my little sis was telling everyone she was sure she had it in November '19 but then she got the coof for real from her husband who got it at work, hers was not too bad, maybe she did get something back then but who knows, how can you tell now?) but without a way to verify and quantify it, it will always get short shrift. There should be antibody tests that tell if you've been exposed, but nobody's going to put that on a card for you, no standards to quantify and, more importantly, no money in it so why bother developing it?
I think there should be such a test and card available for people with moral qualms about the vaxx but most of you'd squawk at someone wanting to see your card anyway so what is the point?
