What's this?

Didn't you just kind of do the same thing there?

"Vaccines are calibrated to get patient to produce a certain number of antibodies and T-cells. You have to get a severe case of Covid-19 to get the equivalent."

You're stating something as fact there that isn't conclusive at this point. There are studies that show you don't have to get a severe case of Covid-19 to do so and some thought it might even be a negative effect.

And my point here is to simply say...it's ok that we don't have all the answers right now...and that applies to both sides.
