    Understanding how some people naturally resist Covid infection, despite clearly being exposed to the virus, could lead to better vaccines, say researchers.

    If we force everyone to get this vaccine, are we cheating ourselves out of a better one?

    I want you to think about what you posted and why what you posted is a bad idea. Hint; you kill more people who don't have natural benefits for fighting climate change.

    Except that we already know who these Covid resistant people are. If the goal is to save lives, first, focus on the old and frail. Even a less effective vaccine should be considered. Healthy people carry an extremely low risk and forcing them to vaccinate denies scientists the ability to produce a more effective vaccine.

    So for all those allowing themselves to be useful in ostracizing others for not consuming this product, calling them anti-vaxxers, accusing them of trying to kill grandma, etc, just know that you are doing more harm than good.

    Do we know everyone who is in a high risk group, or do we have some conception of what high risk people are?

    That kind of pro-COVID thinking is why the drop in cases has begun to slow.

    The ones who currently refuse to get vaccinated wouldn't want the better vaccine either. Also, having as many people as possible vaccinated with the current vaccines in no way prevents the development of a better vaccine.

    I think what we are currently seeing is another mini wave from the Halloween festivities. That's what happened last year. After each fall/winter holiday there was another mini wave. Like clockwork....

    Absolutely. Obesity and the conditions that follow are the main risk factors.

    So ignore science and continue to push this inferior product? That is not a position of concern for public health.

    That claim calls for the operation of the mind. You are not qualified to speak for others. The vast majority of those refusing to consume this product are current in all their necessary vaccines.

    Your last line is 100% false. If these Covid resistant people received the vaccination, their resistance would be falsely attributed to the vaccine and their natural resistance would never have been studied.

    Not necessarily. We have seen this with flu shots. In some cases, the subsequent shots are less effective than the very first time you get one. The report I read indicated that in children, the flu shot seems to be less effective in children who take them every year than in children who got their very first one wen studied over a 5 year period
