This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

It's easier to study the vaccine than natural immunity, no? by ndroman21
They already have tens of thousands of people enrolled in a study and all they have to do is continue to follow up and track infection rates.
It seems much more challenging to create statistically significant data from the hundreds of thousands of people who have had natural infections with a bunch of variables, though I'm sure it is being studied somehow by someone?
I plan to get my 2nd shot next week as scheduled. I'm not personally worried about the very rare complications from the vaccines and I'll deal with a day of feeling crappy to ensure that I'm as immune as I can possibly be.
