Now I'm no expert (and don't have a Masters), but I'm pretty sure not all things are created equal in terms of severity, infection rates, and ability to mutate into different strains/variants.
If you get Covid early on, would you still expect to have natural immunity to a new strain/variant in the future? Would you accept a booster vaccine shot that would then cover you for the new strain or would you still rely on the immunity you built up to the original strain?
Do you ever get a yearly flu shot?
