Goodness, the goal of vaccines is to try to mimic a case of the actual virus as much as possible. One does not have a lot of synapsis’ firing to think a natural infection will not produce the most robust immune response.

One does not have a lot of synapsis’ firing to think a natural infection will not produce the most robust immune response.

During a natural infection, the virus proteins are chopped up and presented on the surface of infected cells. So any antibodies produced as a result of natural infection are to chopped up proteins.

The vaccine only presents an intact spike protein to the immune system. Thus, the antibodies produced only recognize intact spike, not chopped up pieces. Those chopped up pieces do not have the same shape as the intact protein. In order to prevent infection, you need to have antibodies that recognize intact spike, not chopped up pieces. This is one reason why vaccine-induced immunity is superior to disease-induced immunity.

The other reason vaccine induced immunity is superior to disease-induced immunity is this: if the disease is so harmful and even deadly that you want to protect yourself from ever catching it, then why are you trying to protect yourself by catching the disease? Do you protect yourself from burns by grabbing hot pan handles? Or protect yourself from mosquitoes by standing outdoors at dusk wearing only shorts and a tee?

True, but natural immunity is acquired by one's immune system when one contracts a natural disaese.

Wuhanitis is not a natural disease and the unvalidated experimental gene-modifying injected substances are not vaccines.
