If I had covid and I still have the antibodies 15 months later (i’ve been getting the antibody test done out of curiosity) what’s the point of getting vaccinated? My double vaxxed friends are still getting covid

To mitigate severity. Vaccines aren’t 100%. But they do offer protection from getting it, AND lessen the symptoms if you do.

My wife tested positive for a breakthrough case on Saturday. For 3 days she had an insane cough, severely sore throat, and her chest “felt like it was on fire.” If she wasn’t vaccinated, there’s NO doubt that she’d be in the ICU right now; OR worse. No question.

Thankfully we follow proven science and she feels much better now. And I’m still testing negative. This is without a doubt due to vaccinations and boosters.

My buddy’s neighbor died last Friday b/c she refused to get the vaccination. She said “Jesus told her not to get it.” She’s now spending the holidays with Jesus.🤦‍♂️

OP this is from the article you listed from Science:

"The researchers also found that people who had SARS-CoV-2 previously and received one dose of the Pfizer-BioNTech messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccine were more highly protected against reinfection than those who once had the virus and were still unvaccinated. "

And this is from August, so even before Omicron they knew your best bet is to get vaccinated no matter what.

So your not ‘forced’ to get vaccinated. You just roll off the client and will be put onto another.

You can get Covid more than once

You do realize what a vaccine does? It trains your body to create antibodies to fight the virus. It’s just the vaccine is much much much more safer doing it than actually getting the virus.

The reason you get the vaccine just like everyone else is because your body will decrease it’s immunity over time just like what has happened with the first two shots. This is proven over the past year with people contracting Covid multiple times while not being vaccinated. So you boost your immunity by getting a booster shot to help your body identify and fight the virus.

Look, this is all stuff you can easily read about by going to reputable sources. Stop going to sources that are not reputable and stop listening to people. Go educate yourself by reading first hand about it.

In short, don’t get the booster. Nobody gives a shit anymore because as the old saying goes, “you can’t teach people common sense.”

Good Luck!

@OP Though the C-19 antibodies left from the virus are stronger verses those from vaccination, they still wane over time (my friend caught Delta twice).

None, it’s just easier for most people to not get antibody tests every month. But your approach works just as well.

I’m not arguing against the vaccine for those who haven’t been vaccinated.

I’m challenging why someone who has the antibodies should get a vaccine. Especially if those antibodies have lasted for 15 months from a natural infection

like

Antibodies are only part of the protection that vaccines provide. In a breakthrough infection (which can happen for those who have "natural immunity" and/or the vaccine), vaccines also stimulate the body's T-cell response to the infection, in most cases preventing it from replicating in your body and becoming a severe case. Severe cases are not just more severe to the person experiencing it, they are also more contagious because they carry a higher viral load. So, that is why everyone is pushing vaccines, they are more effective at preventing severe illness and death, and they reduce spread.
