Comment on Ask HN: Are any of you still unvaccinated? If so, why?parent

Comments

If serology testing can show you have immunity, I would support giving seropositive people the equivalent of a vaccine passport, if the epidemiologists confirm its good immunity. So, I can see a basis for your reasoning.

I would personally choose to still get vaccinated in your situation.

Why, if I may ask?

Because the certainty around the natural immunity is probably as questionable as the level of immunity from vaccination. Both are subject to epidemiological confirmation.

The potential harm of a re-infection or of infecting others is higher than the personal risk of being vaccinated.

I understand re-infection is something to think about. But infecting others is not an argument, as vaccinated persons can infect as much as unvacinnated ones. This is proven: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKFWGvvlVLI
