Really?
Tell that to the previously young and healthy people who are now disabled because they caught Covid.

Natural Immunity is now a thing?
"Natural immunity" is a bad term. All immunity is natural. I prefer to call it "disease-induced immunity," which is more accurate.
The medical and research communities completely recognize disease-induced immunity and always have. One issue is that disease-induced immunity is not as effective, since the immune system might be using any of the 29 viral proteins to develop an immune response, but only an immune response to the spike protein is likely to prevent future infection. Another issue is that immunity against coronaviruses only lasts a few months, regardless of whether that immunity developed in response to a virus infection or a vaccine.
If you are thinking about getting vaccinated,
See professional help
Lucky for me, I am a professional with many years of experience doing infectious disease countermeasures research and working in areas related to public health. Since I am a professional, I actually know how to read and understand the medical/scientific literature and study data. Since there is nothing in the literature that indicates that developing an immune response following a vaccination is particularly dangerous, I have gotten vaccinated and encouraged my family to do the same. I have had five doses so far (four of the original vaccine, one of the bivalent). And I know they were effective, since I spent several days in quarantine with a positive Covid case and did not catch it myself.
Finally, what kind of thinking is it where you know you need to be protected against Covid, but the only way you believe you can be protected is by catching it? If you have to catch Covid to be protected from it, then what good is disease-induced immunity?
This sounds like a canned response to be released very early after vaccine rollout.
I think you released the wrong copy-paste, exDemMom, you meant to release version #221 ridiculing vaxx deniers, the harmlessness of myocarditis in youth, and hazards of ivermectin, NOT this #1 early release for January 2021 blog canned responses.
No one believes you. If they were to take an opinion poll about the medical profession I think the approval rating would be lower than Congress. Go somewhere else and spout your "expertise" on the subject. We aren't buying it anymore.
My son now has myocarditis due to his MANDATED COVID jabs. He is 25.
I wish you were right…but you’re not. EVERYONE I know who was vacinnated GOT Covid, and not just a mild case, but severe. Two women died.
Most of these people got it multiple times. For us naturally immunes - never got it again.
I wish you scientists would advocate good health practices and taking D3, Zinc, hydroxychloriquine/quercetin, C and Ivermectin at the first sign of illness.
Ivermectin cured my son’s bout in 3 hours.
