I've never had this kind of conversation with anyone. But I do have a level-headed response to this:
Doctors are not engineers and medicine is not a legitimate technical discipline. If it was, it would not be called "medicine". It would be called "bio-engineering" and the people doing it would be called bio-engineers. I would then talk about some of the DIY life extension stuff that I have done on myself and how well it has worked out for me and, thus, indeed I actually do know more about bio-engineering than most doctors. I'm sure this would shut them up.
Late 80s I was tested for immunity to rubella as part of an OB visit. Dr told me it came back I wasn't immune. Considering that I was nearly outside the window where it could harm the baby, that there were no known outbreaks in my community and the possible side effects for an adult I declined getting it again.
6 years later, another pregnancy, same doctor. This time I have immunity!
Huh.
I didn't have the measles in those 6 years.
It was a good reminder to slow down, think and question first round info.

@T2, why do you think unvaccinated people would be immune just from getting the infection? Coronaviruses are well known for their ability to mutate. There are many variants going around all the time. Just like there are with rhinoviruses - people aren't immune from getting a cold just because they've already had one.
The extent to which an unvaccinated person will be able to fight off a new (to them) variant of a coronavirus depends on how close it is to the antibodies their body can make, as well as how taxed their immune system is dealing with other things.
@Azzurri_82 Children who regress into autism after the MMR are described as having normal development until that insult. I have often wondered, if wild measles can cause deadly subacute sclerosing panencephalitis, then why couldn't a weakened virus in the "vaccine" cause a milder non-lethal form of SSPE that looks a lot like sudden onset autism???
T2 said "So theres several posters here whove not been jabbed and say theyve gotten the Rona more than once now. I thought that wasnt possible?"
My guess is some unvaxxed people have a Vitamin D level in the paltry 20-40mg/dL range. If one is diligent about supplementing and deliberate about keeping the level between 50-95mg/dL, it's likely you won't get sick with anything at all. Take with food that has fat in it for better absorption and with Vitamin K2 included in the formula. OR take with a multivitamin that contains K2, that should suffice.
@Raven, zero cares in the world given to what Koreans think or blame America for. Koreans in American can go back home and take their car companies with them.
I keep having this vision of someone attempting to jab me and the syringe gets crushed in my fist before it touches me and I stab the SOB with it. Could this be PTSD? Might not be a good idea to come near me w/ a needle like the rest of my years. Kinda like B A from the A-Team. FOOLS!
I've been toying with the theory that the childhood chicken pox vaccine is directly responsible for the increase in shingles.
For the first time in forever chicken pox isn't rampant in the wild, so it's not coming into homes and rechallengig adults resistance to the virus.
Lack of the virus in the wild is directly causing re-emergence in adults.
Maybe I'm smoking crack, but as TG said elsewhere, the increase is not genetic but environmental. When does the environmental change look like it began? What happened?
Its plausible @Ckaminski. As for MMR the risk for measles whacking you is in the area of 1-2 in 1,000. Not particularly likely, but that's not exactly a vanishingly small risk either. Is the risk of the shot fucking you in a serious way higher than that? I don't know -- but what I DO know is that autism is probably NOT linked to it, because MMR became basically "every kid" by 1970. Yet the autism rate didn't step-function with that, nor did it rise between '63 (measles only) and then stop going up in 1971 when the combo shot was released.
So that doesn't fit at all.
It is absolutely environmental -- but whatever is causing it is either multifactorial or the dosage has been increasing on a continual basis for the last 40 or so years.
Mumps in a post-pubescent male has a high probability of sterilizing you. Rubella in a boy is usually harmless, but in a woman who is pregnant it can kill or seriously fuck the kid, so.....
Of the three I consider the risk of side effects to be "charged" to the measles since that's by far the most-dangerous in terms of killing you, and the other two are "free".

I have the patience of a saint, but even I can't hold out forever. There are more days than not that I wish the festivities would kick off already. Mass die off, civil war 2, financial armageddon, whatever it is. I'm not getting any younger or less broken.
It's not something offered to kids here in the UK.
There's many drawbacks to public/state healthcare, but one benefit is that generally, unnecessary medical-interventions aren't performed.
These vaccines aren't considered worth it on a cost:benefit analysis, so they just let the kids get chicken pox naturally.
Our own 3 X kids got chicken pox from my daughter's first few months at school. So at 5,3, and 1 year old, they've all had it. Was a shitty couple of weeks for them and us, but that's it over and done with.
Funnily enough, they all got COVID maybe 3 weeks after chicken pox subsided, I did wonder at the time if it might be related to compromised immune system/s at the time, but it didn't hit them hard at all, few days of the sniffles and that appeared to be it.
Anyone giving their kid/s the/a shot for COVID needs mental evaluation.
Bit Off Topic: past week visit to "World Famous Mayo Clinic" for spouse. Asked Endocrinologist to please order Fasting Glucose and A1c along with other tests. Results: A1c 6.0 (upper norm 5.7) Glu 107 (range 70-140) Since when is a 70 point range considered normal? Also morbid obesity and hypertension w medication. Although not the reason for the visit, this was not addressed. If she had addressed these results spouse may take reasonable changes. Me saying you're prediabetic? Not so much. sigh
BTW was the 107 ACTUAL fasting? Careful with that as actual fasting has to mean exactly that with no intake other than water. I have a KetoMojo and I can easily swing a 15pt difference simply having my morning couple of espressos which you'd THINK, having no calories, would not impact the level.
You'd be wrong; my actual fasting level is right around 90 but if I was to have it measured after "fasting-but-not-really" they'd call that result abnormal.

"Anyone wearing a mask will be presumed to be intending armed robbery and immediately shot in the face. Govern yourself accordingly."
Ckaminski, regarding your chicken pox idea, earlier this year I was linked to this 2017 lecture by a former CDC employee (contractor?) who lays out the evidence that this indeed is exactly what is happening. His job was to collect the data, it was clearly happening, and eventually he resigned in disgust because they swept it under the rug.

dude, are you high? over 400,000 Ukrainian KIA vs. 50,000 for Russia! Why should Russia sacrifice their troops until AFTER the Ukrainian army collapses?
@Nedpuddleman: "...But drug companies can't make any money off natural substances so they synthesize them which brings about unwanted reactions and side effects...."
Actually what they do is slightly modify the natural compound, like adding -CH3 or -OH. They'll try modifications until they find one that works (even if it has side effects).
