The reason I ask is because our bodies as human beings have an amazing immune system and unless you have an autoimmune disease, naturally our bodies can heal ourselves from sickness.

I’m speaking primarily on the common cold, Influenza or anything similar like it, including even COVID.

    Vaccines are by far the most live saving medical prevention device ever. The problem with your argument is that you assume you recover 100% from every disease. Smallpox scarred millions of people. Research is coming out that the flu has long term effects on human health. Rather than see how strong your immune system is, wouldn’t you rather prepare your immune system for the possibility of sickness? You’re right that our immune systems are amazing. They can amazingly recognize diseases they’ve never actually seen before, because we showed them examples of the diseases first.

    Get vaccinated. Don’t roll the dice with how stronk you are.

      I find it interesting that people don’t trust the pharmaceutical companies because they prescribe so many medicines that alter people’s health with negative side effects and yet they’re so willing to trust them when it comes to vaccination with experimental vaccines they have never even tested clinically and thoroughly.
