Reply to comment by wakatenai in would exposing an individual to infection on a regular basis make their immune system stronger than normal? by wakatenai

I wouldn't be thanking someone for such a bad reply lol, I don't know how they twisted this into you being against vaccines, and while they're right that infection won't improve your immunity to all illnesses, they clearly have absolutely no knowledge of how infections improve immunity to similar illnesses (i.e. an influenza strain that is similarly but not identical to a previous infection).

thx for the reply.

and ya i just chocked it up to the current state of immune system discussion. i assume they were assuming my questions were to look for an alternative to vaccines. as asking about it kinda makes me sound anti-vax.

if we weren't in covid times they probably wouldn't have assumed that. i think.
