Previous COVID infection enhances immunity, creating what we call hybrid immunity. This happens because current vaccines mainly target the spike protein, while natural infection exposes the immune system to other parts of the virus.

New vaccines in development aim to include multiple proteins and improved delivery methods, which could lead to longer-lasting immunity. For now, hybrid immunity (infection plus vaccination) offers broader protection, while vaccines safely boost antibody levels without the risks of infection.

An infection exposes the immune system to the whole virus while the mRNA vaccine triggers the synthesis of the viral spike protein which would be a specific part of the virus. It can be called hybrid since it is a combination of a original and novel technique but the underlying immune system still deals with the invaders the same way and creates immunity against them. Naturally an infection would be temporary but with the mRNA technique it's a constant stream of spikes which the immune system attacks to the source. One of the issues here are the byproducts from the immune activity, especially dangerous if the mRNA dosen't stay around the injection area. Hybrid immunity without looking at the cons is not the full picture and seeing some counterpoints about vaccines was refreshing.

I would really love to see your peer reviewed study! Where was it published?

mRNA doesn't stay in the injection area. Most of it ends up in the liver, and that was known since before the mRNA vaccine development.

That's also why the first mRNA gene therapies are targeting inheritable liver diseases.

I tried to hint at the issue of the jab getting into the bloodstream directly instead of the muscle, which can happen when no aspiration is applied.

Defending the jab in a Stockholm syndrome manner is getting quite boring by now.

Dude, get professional mental health help.
