How does a mandate address natural immunity? There is a lot of apologizing for the vaccines inability to prevent infection and reminders about how good it is against severe illness. Formerly vaccines were claimed to have been better against transmission than natural immunity and that was the epidemiological claim towards a mandate. What is it today? Natural immunity had no problem clearing South Africa of Omicron. Why would it not be an acceptable alternative to vaccination for those who have already recovered? The good doctor in your films claims vaccine immunity is seen to "mature" against serious illness as its effectiveness against transmission wanes. Wouldn't natural infection also lead to a maturation of the immune system over longer time periods? I don't see you address where you think Mr Epstein gets it wrong.
