Will vaccines or natural immunity be more important in beating covid?
Same poll, one year apart, significant change

Neither. You will never beat a spike protein based virus. They mutate too fast. That’s why hiv is still running wild. And frankly the COVID mRNA gene therapy shots are more dangerous than helpful

Well, at this time in the US we've seen 30-40% of people refuse vaccination.

I bet the meaning of "beat" has changed in the interval. I'd be intrigued to see if that bears out

It's a depressing change. The 1-2 punch of vaccines don't give total immunity (though they do help a lot!) combined with vax status becoming a culture war topic really tanked it.

My take: a) we just won't convince enough people to get vaccinated (although the 70-80-90% for herd immunity can eventually be achieved if the denominator drops low enough...), and b) with omicron there is hope it's less deadly and will just win the battle vs other variants.

in 2020 vaccines were the contrarian choice, in 2021 they're the MSM choice, and your followers are contrarians so they're right in 2020 and wrong in 2021

It’s phrased poorly. Both answers potential valid depending on how one interprets “beat”. Personally, I no longer give a shit about Covid because I’m fully vaccinated. I consider that having already won.

Both can be correct. Maybe beating the virus is a two pronged approach. Where vaccination is more important early on and herd immunity is more important in the later stages

-30% of people recovered have minimal to no antibody residuals/immunity from recent data. Sorry can’t recall the reference. And experts saying that immunity is highly variable anyway
