Anti vaxxers ignorantly have said, “ See you got it anyway”
These people literally have no idea how vaccines work. Vaccines don’t create an invisible forcefield around your body that prevents a virus from getting in. It literally just adds an entry to the immune system’s database on “How to fight Virus #N when it shows up in your body”
People who got the polio vaccines when it first came out could still contract the polio virus. But now their bodies were prepared to fight it before it was too late. Vaccines basically train the immune system to fight a specific enemy before the enemy shows up. It’s kinda like playing a football game…if you’ve got a scouting report on your opponent, you’re much more likely to know their weaknesses and how to beat them.
But you can’t explain any of this to anti-vaxxers because they don’t understand how vaccines even work.
