What I would point out to such people is that "natural immunity" means you have to take your chances contracting the disease first, in order to develop any immunity. (By the way, studies show that immunity from the vaccine is more robust than "natural immunity.") What I would also point out to those people is that more than 5 MILLION people worldwide have died from COVID.I would suggest you are prejudiced.
800,000 People in the US alone have died from COVID - most of whom were unvaccinated. So letting it all ride on "natural immunity" appears to be the worst available choice. I'd also point out to such people that vaccines help your body boost its immune system directly against COVID-19 so that if you do end up contracting it, your chances of being hospitalized or dying are far lower than if you contracted COVID and developed "natural immunity." I'd further point out the phenomenon of COVID "long haulers" who experience symptoms of COVID for months and months after they've had COVID, which include shortness of breath, fatigue, cough, joint pain, chest pain, cognitive problems, depression, muscle pain headache, intermittent fever and rapid heartbeat.
So sorry, but people who think "natural immunity" is the way to go, haven't thought this through very well.
