What purposes does the vaccine serve for people that have beaten covid?

This seems to never come up in regards to mandates. Why is it such a broad, blanket statement for vaccines are required?

There's no money to be made off of natural immunity.

You’ll get 10x sicker the second and third go around they say, unless you get the vaccine

Which would mean vaccine breakthroughs would result in higher hospital rates.

I wondered the same thing and I will link to the CDC explanation (not that you have to accept it, of course). The gist is that the available studies show the vaccine to confer greater immunity than prior infection, particularly as to variants:

I agree with many of you that it’s a failure of the CDC and public health officials in general that the nuance of previous infection has not been considered in mandates and vaccinate recommendations. As a physician who has had Covid, reviewed the data, and take care of covid patients daily this is what I have personally done and recommended to my family and friends:
If you’ve had Covid it’s completely reasonable to not get the vaccine for 8 months to a year. After that, you could get at least one shot. You can make an argument to not get a second and NO ONE who knows the data should fault your for it. Having COVID is like getting the first shot. Getting a shot after is like getting booster. Those who have had COVID and then had at least one shot are likely the best protected people out there.

What purpose does the flu vaccine serve if you’ve ever had the flu before?

Yay! Another vaccine Thread on OT!!!! We sure needed this one!

My son had Covid late July.
Had some cardiology problems. Cardiologist strongly suggested he get vaccinated because of the lengthening of protection time, as if latest thinking was natural immunity is better but does not sustain as long.
Cardiologist had Covid in Oct 2020 and had some interesting stories on how it affected him and why he endorsed vax.

Natural immunity has been shown to last only 3 months or so, so it extends immunity.

How does that differ from your body actually eliciting an immune response from getting the virus?

Flu strains are different each year. Vaccination against strains are different each year. Flu mutates at a MUCH higher rate than Covid.

You missed the sarcasm.
