During the COVID pandemic, and also before, I've heard the repeated argument that people "prefer natural immunity" - i.e. immunity obtained by surviving illness.
I don't really want to dive into why this is bullshit, if you're interested, kurzgesagt gives a nice overview: https://youtu.be/M-K7mxdN62M

This thread is about why people might think that. After all, if given the choice between immunity by vaccine and immunity by illness, then illness is by far more unpleasant, all side effects of the vaccine included. So even without any biological knowledge, you'd expect people to choose the jab that makes you feel bad for an afternoon over the illness that makes you feel worse for days.

That's where I'd like to introduce the IKEA effect.
>The IKEA effect is a cognitive bias in which consumers place a disproportionately high value on products they partially created. The name refers to Swedish manufacturer and furniture retailer IKEA, which sells many items of furniture that require assembly.
>A 2011 study found that subjects were willing to pay 63% more for furniture they had assembled themselves than for equivalent pre-assembled items.
Are people valuing the "natural immunity" higher because they had to suffer for it? Do they think it's better because they felt miserable acquiring it? What other reasons could people have to prefer pox/measles/flu parties over the respective vaccine?

>> No.15913214

Ignorance and distrust prevail. They favored relying on natural immunity in case of illness rather than choosing it after falling ill. This closely relates to the human tendency to believe, in the face of adversity, 'this won't happen to me, I'm being cautious.' They may believe that smoking a limited amount of cigarettes, say 10 a day instead of a whole pack, won't cause lung cancer etc.

No, it's just trust. If IKEA had for decades included, say, an explosive device in one out of every ten thousand or so packages, and IKEA resorted to extreme social pressures, propaganda campaigns, mass firings, etc. to convince everyone that they have to bring a package into their home which might be concealing an explosive device, then IKEA would be less popular.

I think what happened is that anti-vaxxers looked at statistics and saw that the median age of people dying of covid is about 80, and the number of people their own age dying of it was maybe 2 in the entire country, so they determined that there is no point in getting vaccinated against such odds. I call it the common sense effect.

WHO changed definition of word vaccine. It no longer has to guarantee immunity to the disease. Update your shill script. Orange juice is now vaccine.

Btw they never tested it for stopping the disease from spreading, so your whole post is NULL.

Btw2 the newest stats show vaccine has NEGATIVE efficience rate, meaning the more doses of it you took, the greater the chance you will get ill.

>>15913201
There is plenty of evidence that indicates in many/most cases immunity by natural infection is more robust than immunity by vaccination.
Vaccines currently cannot mimic or elicit a full adaptive immune response (which is the goal) and various adjuvants are added to increase efficiency. The mRNA vaccine itself was/is still fairly new and people did not want to be apart of a clinical trial for a disease that might give them flu like symptoms. If you determined your risk level was ending up with a fever and cough for a week and your other option was taking a relatively experimental vaccine that was sped out of development it doesn't seem that irrational.

>Do you even understand how a vaccine works?
Do you? When you get the flu, or a cold, does it get injected into your shoulder, or does it begin in the respiratory tract? Do you think localized immunity at the shoulder is the same as localized immunity in the mucosa of the respiratory tract? Does a virus carry mercury, aluminum, and or LNP's with it? One of the criticisms of vaccines that are introduced through the lymphatic system is that they result in little localized protection at the mucosa level. There's been an effort to circumvent it using vaccines that are placed in the nose, but for the most part they've been a failure. Injecting through the shoulder is more reliable, but there's still very little immune response, hence the metals or LNP's in order to cause inflammation and force the immune system into action. But now there's very little carry over to the mucosa, so the person can get still sick. The purported benefit is if the infection goes systemic then they'll be adequately protected, but many respiratory infections never get past the respiratory tract.

How would you even determine such a worth a priori? If I don't get jabbed and don't end up getting the flu, it's a case of "would've been pointless". But you don't have that information at the time you have to decide.
On the other hand, if I had to choose between getting the disease or the vaccine, I'd always choose the vaccine. The disease will leave scar tissue in your lungs. It will reduce your lung's capacity to absorb oxygen. It will be a small amount each time, but what you lose, you lose forever.
>Now imagine a virus that is essentially the flu, which you ordinarily never would get the shot for
We get the flu every 10 years on average, determined by background immunity and yearly case numbers. With covid, there was no background immunity. In the beginning, infection waves weren't seasonal like they are for endemic viruses. The chance of catching covid was much higher than the chance of getting the flu.

>its relative jab has pretty good chance, for a vaccine, of killing you.
What was that? One in some tens of thousands got myocarditis, and most of them asymptomatic? So one in a million died?

Maybe that's because people would rather keep the shit they already have than have to replace it unnecessarily. If you really think that equates to people putting a higher value on their own "self made" immune response you're a fucking midwit. But that's a given anyways since you not only watch, but quote that goyslop kurzgesagt channel. The reason I prefer natural immunity over artificial vaccine induced immunity is that it's more effective. Assuming the illness is mild enough you can survive it, natural immunity lasts forever, as opposed to vaccine induced immunity which is temporary. You don't get T-cell immunity from a vaccine, but you do from infection. People who contracted SARS back when that was a thing have improved immunity to covid, due to the similarities between the two. They're both coronaviruses. After the effects of a vaccine wear off, your immunity to that disease is worse than if you had never got the vaccine, which is why you need another vaccine to top you up, by inducing a mild immune response to a weakened or fragmented part of a virus, so your body is already prepared with antibodies. If you were exposed to the true virus long after an initial vaccine dose, your immune system would recognize it, and "remember" that it wasn't that bad, making it hit you harder than it would otherwise.

>After all, if given the choice between immunity by vaccine and immunity by illness, then illness is by far more unpleasant, all side effects of the vaccine included
People who contracted covid pre-vaccine rollout were explicitly denied the ability to forego the injections even though they already had immunity. They didn't decide to choose infection over injection, it was something that already happened. In the US, having a documented case of covid didn't create a choice. In some parts of Europe, it got you the ability to delay the injections but not avoid them entirely.
"Given a choice" is the kind of disingenuous rhetoric that caused the health officials and politicians to lose credibility with people outside of the midwit zone. And here you are, posting as if those people had a choice, when they absolutely didn't. You've destroyed your credibility with that line alone but you don't care, you'll still keep up the charade of having some sort of moral and intellectual high ground despite needing to use deception to defend it.

The vaccines are always at least a year out of date.
In 2020, while waiting for a vaccine, it would have been better to let young people be exposed naturally instead of doing lockdowns for all.
Natural infection trains your mucosal immunity while the vaccines do not.
For most of the population, covid was milder than the flu. I can understand why people might shy away from a rushed, experimental, politically motivated vaccine. The "hot batches" indicate there were defects of some kind in the manufacture/distribution/administration process.

I don't think the "IKEA effect" was/is happening. The main reason natural immunity became a topic was in the context of all of the restrictions on the unvaxxed. People wanted their natural immunity to count towards vaccination status.
There might be some retards out there who are fetishizing natural immunity but it is usually just a post hoc justification for not getting it (the vax).
