re: That Means It's Working!

It isn't. Not all infections from the wild strains are equal. Which causes wildly variable responses and armament of your immune system. With vaccines we get a fairly predicted response based on dosage. You are 100% better off with the vaccine which is why doctors are still recommending them for the previously infected.

Of course we get to the but we still get sick. You can still get chicken pox, polio, mumps etc with enough viral load. Doesn't mean those vaccines are failures either.

But we suffer a less disastrous illness. Preventive care for anything is best care. And you can what about fatties and diabetics on here all you want. But if you're personal choice is to be a frick up and not seek preventive care, then you are the same hypertensioned, fatties, diabetic no what abouts. Your cost is actually worse since fatties and diabetics can be shunted off from hospitals most the time.
