I've posted this question in several threads and have yet to receive a coherent answer, so I'll make a thread dedicated to this one, seemingly simple, question...
Can someone PLEASE explain to me WHY, if I've already HAD Covid-19, I should go out and get a "vaccine"...for Covid-19??? And, HOW my not getting the "vaccine" could possibly pose a risk to someone ELSE???
That's it, simple as that. That's all I want to know! I'd really love to hear a coherent answer to this question!!
Thank you.

- It's very likely that natural immunity won't last as long as that given through a vaccination.
- Having natural immunity may give a false sense of security.
- Likely that things like vaccine "passports" won't recognise natural immunity as an alternative to being vaccinated.
- No harm in playing extra safe.
Hope that helps.
Don't shoot the messenger.

the studies show it (transmission) is reduced (by maybe 30% or so).
After people recover from infection with a virus, the immune system retains a memory of it. Immune cells and proteins that circulate in the body can recognize and kill the pathogen if it’s encountered again, protecting against disease and reducing illness severity.
This long-term immune protection involves several components. Antibodies—proteins that circulate in the blood—recognize foreign substances like viruses and neutralize them. Different types of T cells help recognize and kill pathogens. B cells make new antibodies when the body needs them.
All of these immune-system components have been found in people who recover from SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. But the details of this immune response and how long it lasts after infection have been unclear. Scattered reports of reinfection with SARS-CoV-2 have raised concerns that the immune response to the virus might not be durable.
The vaccinated population which is enjoying the freedom of no social distancing, no PP equipment (which was to stop the spread to others, not protect the wearer) and has reduced symptoms are potentially super spreaders as a group. A 30% reduction in transmission won’t stop the vaccinated from continuing to spread the virus or its potential mutations.

Can you explain your answer better. I don't understand what you wrote. (This virus has made me stoopid I guess).
