What’s got me confused is why all the anti-vaxxers are opposed to the vaccine, yet love these treatments that have the same characteristics as the vaccine, they were approved under emergency use, limited testing, manufactured by “big pharma”, have a risk of side effects.
All rational people would prefer to use a product to stop them acquiring a health condition, rather than get the health condition and then become so sick they need specialised treatment to combat that condition.
The data seems/does suggest that natural immunity gives better protection and lasts longer than a 2 dose vaccination does.
Improved immunity is gained to the natural immunity, by having one vaccination shot (not both). This by far is currently the best known immunity to COVID DELTA variant.
So surely to get the best immunity in theory - is where possible allow slow natural infection (low risk group only) then 1 vaccine shot -
Sotrovimabuse if people get too sick.
Fully vaccinate all high risk persons and give
Sotrovimabwhen they test positive.
