I'm sad this conversation has been flagged. It does not reflect well on the HN community that we can't discuss the topic of how to confer immunity in a rational way.
Every "booster" vaccination going into the arm of a low risk population is a vaccination that is being withheld from a vulnerable population in a less "privileged" country.<p>The WHO specifically recommended to hold off on boosters because developing nations still have not vaccinated their vulnerable populations yet.
I think most people agree that natural immunity is as good as a vaccine. But I do see some possible reasons to prefer the vaccine to proof of natural immunity.<p>It's possible legislators have less confidence in the tests of natural immunity than they have in the vaccine passport, for whatever reason.<p>And maybe I'm being too cynical, but I think I know some people who might _try_ to get covid (instead of the vaccine) if it meant they could travel.
