We realised it during the height of the lock down in spring. Our son did not interact with any other child for a few weeks, and only went out occasionally with a mask on. Then he suddenly got chicken pox...

poor kid. the body NEEDS exposure to shit. it needs to learn hoe to fight and how to survive. especially at a young age, when the immune system is still in formation. come on, you should know this..

What's your suggestion on how to have your child build the immunity these days without risking the child possibly infecting the parents with covid?

So... vaccines? Because that's what they do, more or less. Introduce little bits of virus so the body can fight it off if we actually come in contact with it, and by this, it means that other are less likely to catch it too.

(Technical stuff means that sometimes, we don't even get the actual virus, but that point doesn't really take away from the argument).

The vaccines don’t train the immune system correctly. Usually when you are infected you get a fever and the immune system has to go trough a certain process. With vaccines you get the antibodies for the virus, but this makes the immune system react in a unnatural way.

You wind up with the same thing: Antibodies. And way safer than getting the actual disease. It isn't "unnatural", it just isn't from getting the disease.

I'm gonna trust the health professionals here.
