COVID-19 live updates: Being vaccinated offers better protection than being infected: Study
The study reviewed more than 7,000 people across nine states.
I don't have any specific information or research to back this opinion up but...
My thought is that vaccines are designed to be effective on as broad a range of disease variants as possible while immunity from being infected will be to whatever you had -- and possibly just resistance to that one type.
If it turns out that there is a quality difference between types of immunity the vaccine would likely be better.
Duh. Vaccines are easily one of science and medicine's greatest inventions, saving literally countless millions of lives over their centuries of use. Adverse reactions are beyond trivial in comparison. Anti-vaxxers are, well, brain dead fools. No different than people who refuse to wear seat belts.
I always think that the anti-vax argument is like saying, you would rather be locked in a cage with a live tiger, than be in a room with a tiger skin rug, because you could have a dust mite allergy.
