So, does the vaccine help, I'm sure it does, for some, but do they know the effects of it yet? Maybe... I still think building a natural immunity is the best.
1) You get the virus, get sick, your body builds antibodies for the virus and you won't get sick again.

2) You get a dead virus that won't get you sick, your body builds antibodies for the virus and you won't get sick.

I don't fully understand how option 2. is somehow more unnatural or worse than option 1, care to elaborate? Your whole family being sick for weeks is to you +EV?
