If I already had Covid-19 and recovered, do I still need to get vaccinated?
Yes, you should be vaccinated regardless of whether you already had COVID-19. That’s because experts do not yet know how long you are protected from getting sick again after recovering from COVID-19. Even if you have already recovered from COVID-19, it is possible—although rare—that you could be infected with the virus that causes COVID-19 again. Learn more about why getting vaccinated is a safer way to build protection than getting infected.
If you were treated for COVID-19 with monoclonal antibodies or convalescent plasma, you should wait 90 days before getting a COVID-19 vaccine. Talk to your doctor if you are unsure what treatments you received or if you have more questions about getting a COVID-19 vaccine.
Experts are still learning more about how long vaccines protect against COVID-19 in real-world conditions. CDC will keep the public informed as new evidence becomes available.

Yes, however I've also seen reports that people who have recovered should be at a lower priority to get the vaccine compared to people who haven't had any vaccine doses. Makes some sense to me - get everyone at least some immunity first, at least while vaccines are still in short supply, later when they are plentiful it won't matter.

Historically, with all other viruses, natural immunity has always been better than artificial, it is stronger and lasts longer. So while they don't know for sure yet, the odds are that if you've definitely had the virus, then your immunity will be the best type, and last over 10 years.

Some people are trying to keep things going a bit longer as it suits there agenda, but realistically there's nothing going on right now.

Where did you read about the ten year part?
That's a pretty shaky statement considering the natural immunity to the flu doesn't even last a year let alone ten. With some new unknown virus where the world is not totally sure how it will work long term that sounds more like guessing than anything.

You guys are no fun. It is much better to make up the science than actually think about it. Our natural immunity to polio, measles, chicken pox, etc. pretty much eliminated the need to develop and implement a vaccine.

You guys keep saying "Follow the Science" It runs too fast so I have to make something up.
An epidemiologist gave his prediction, I'm can't find where I read it, but it is because when you catch it you get immunity to the full virus, rather than just the spike protein.
You will tend to be immune to similar strains to the ones you have caught before
"Researchers say your first flu infection in childhood can provide protection against similar flu viruses for the rest of your life."

Just to clarify, I'm using the term 'natural immunity' in the contest of the immunity which develops after an infection, rather than something we are all born with.

So you are saying if someone has had the virus, they should not need the vaccine. How about prior to getting the virus?

Flu and coronavirus infect differently And corona seems to mutate faster than flu. No one knows what kind of immunity or how long it will last. We most likely will need booster shots every year for Corona. In fact one of the nurses I see told me that when she got her shot they only promised that they thought she would be safe for 3 months. And that was in January.

Something new to add:

Thank goodness it is just a cold or a flu and not something serious.

Light one for Me
Public Sector workers who worked (and continue to) steadfastly beyond the call of duty have been the backbone in fighting covid from the outset.
Last March the UK Government encouraged the public to show its appreciation for the efforts of National Health Staff by applauding them from the front door of your home at the same time every Thursday evening. This was shortly after the same NHS Staff had been on strike for a decent pay rise. The weekly applause soon fizzled out - only to be expected. I said then the proof of the pudding will be when we emerge from this horrible pandemic.
So, with the vaccine continuing to roll out, the R number below 1, and signs of light at the end if the tunnel, the Government announced details of the pay rise for these people who they had waxed lyrically about;

A 1% rise - below the rate of inflation. It says it all.
Disgusting.

I've always been an actions speak louder than words sort of person. Words too often turn into something hollow and meaningless because they are so often so cheap and easy. Very few things this applies more to than being appreciative and thankful towards people. Part of my philosophy on life is if people really are appreciative of somebody else they should never just tell them they are thankful. They should show them they are thankful. A bit of effort and sacrifice isn't something that's too much to ask for people that one is actually appreciative of. Otherwise it seems it's done more to appease the person saying it as they delude themselves into thinking they care or so they can pat themselves on the back.

This might be totally off-topic, but how are you single guys out there (like me) coping with COVID and the lack of any physical contact? Are you using virtual connections, like cam sites or OnlyFans or other avenues to fill your needs?
I encounter hot girls in-person all the time that I'd love to hit on, but I feel what's the point while we're all behind masks?
I'm just curious how y'all are dealing right now because TBH I've been feeling increasingly frustrated lately for ANY contact with a woman. Surely I can't be in the only one same boat, right?
Responses appreciated!
