Catching a disease in order to avoid catching it makes absolutely no sense. This particular piece of misinformation is so illogical and ridiculous, I don't see how people fall for it in the first place.
It's also very dangerous.
If I am in danger of exposure to rabies, would it make any sense at all to go out and catch it deliberately? Well, that *would* prevent me from catching it in the future. But probably not in the way I want.
Disease-induced immunity is not as broad or protective as vaccine-induced immunity. In addition, no immunity against coronaviruses lasts for more than a few months. Ever catch a cold, then another cold, then another cold? You keep catching them because immunity is not permanent.
Really? Wow. Just wow.
My statement was "The third way to prevent catching a viral disease is to have natural immunity from beating one of it's related strains."
This particular piece of misinformation is so illogical and ridiculous, yet more than two hundred years ago, British physician Edward Jenner created the first vaccine after noticing that milkmaids, who had previously gotten cowpox, were immune to smallpox. Jenner correctly figured out that giving people less harmful cowpox would give them immunity to smallpox.
It's called a vaccination - 'vacca' meaning 'cow' in Latin.
Sure, we all see people catching Chicken Pox every couple of months.
You catch a different cold because you're facing a different strain of the virus. Your immunity, unless compromised, could be lifelong.
The researchers showed that people who had the antibodies for SARS COVID in 2003 still had the antibodies for COVID-19. (likely because the COVID-19 bioweapon was built by the same group who built the SARS COVID bioweapon in 2003).
So this is another permanent revenue stream for Pfizer, for everybody, two or three times a year for the rest of their lives.
But of course we know they are all acting slowly out of pure concerns for mankind.
Dingbat.
