MODERATORS
Totally get it for at-risk individuals. But I'm a young person in relatively good health, I'll take my chances at building the natural immunity from infection.
Could you please for me read this at least? https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11296004/
Natural immunity is not really a thing with COVID, it fades very quickly, and it's meaningless if you're on a ventilator.
You are incorrect about natural immunity and COVID, studies have shown that the immunity is roughly equivalent. They both fade within a 60-90 day period. Source 1, Source 2. In fact the first source I linked to found that hybrid immunity through both vaccination and recovering from infection naturally provided the most robust protection against future infection.
I personally am not interested in getting new booster shot every 60-90 days. I'll take my odds. Hospitalization rates in healthy adults are incredibly low. The current hospitalization rate is 1.2 people in every 100,000. That's like 0.000012%. I'll take those odds.
