Comment on Three quarters of infected in Massachusetts outbreak were vaccinated, CDC saysparent

What you're describing is called vaccine induced immunity or artificial immunity. Natural immunity is from an infection with no vaccines involved. You know, naturally.

What does the distinction "natural" vs. "artificial" mean to you?

I would not assume without knowledge of the specifics of the case that either of them is better.

I've provided links to the specifics of this case elsewhere.

The vaccine will pre-memorize for antibodies. That’s only one component of a natural immune response, which is wide ranging and more robust.
