Intro
Natural immunity is a myth. It does not exist. If you previously believed yourself to have had immunity to any pathogen, it was purely coincidence. If you thought your previous vaccines evoked an immune response in your body by way of your adaptive immune system, you were mistaken.
Why is this the case? Because for the vision of the future which was aspire to achieve, we must look beyond reality, beyond the human being, and look beyond understanding limited by science, logic, and even reason.
Any previous truthful concept which conflicts with my belief about the best strategy to employ in pursuit of vaccine equity should be, for all intents and purpose, be treated as a lie. If we simply modify our hierarchical understanding of the world and simply replace all things that are true, with things which directly serve my pursuits, then this will be a net good for the world. Any benefit to me, personally, is pure circumstance, and wasn't necessarily a benefit, as I slave away night and day for others so that they might have a better existence than I.
And so remember, for all that I do, you're welcome.
The Attack on Natural Immunity
Is it also an attack on nature? What we understand of nature can vary to suit different contexts. There is, for example, the romantic idea that all is harmonious and plentiful in nature, and this meme is referenced in pop culture, but is that how people behave? Only a small selection of western humans are regularly exposed to uncivilized environments, and they likely have the insight to put such tropes to rest. For everyone else, their actions are all contained within environments that are free of the raw elements of nature. If anything, they are copletely averse to anything unpredictable enough to resemble nature, only opting for creature comforts and suburban habituations.
And so too are the species, havign by necessity to master evermore aspects of nature in order to evade mortality at every turn. And so our default reaction to any pathogen should be predictably so, as even our abilities to transcend the vulnerabilties is insofar that our own natural form and its needs are consolidated in the face of another natural threat or form. There is still, at the end, a natural specification which is being served and valued.
But if we can rule over all a large portion of nature, does the very concept of nature become something to evade? Should it offend us that there be limits that cannot be overlooked?
Again, we struggle to make distinct what is a naturally evolved specification from that which is structured from the aspects which came into being as per the naturally evolving process. One might say that both have come into beign as per evolution and a range of developmental factors that are still being adhered to, as can be observed by our maintaining all aspects of reality that we deem essential.
But perhaps that's not the best take. To consider synonymous the changes which occur genetically as expressed in the forms which bear life cycles and the actions and events executed and evoked by these forms are not coherently understood material instances which can be compared as like terms, or even within the same system and at the same level of abstraction. They are vastly different conceptions, and should be treated as such.
The means by which a pattern of behaviour, along with its progression of selectice forces, have been occuring through the same mechanism and cycle of transformation that has existed for some time.
Simplifying Science
When your great and supreme concern yields the entrypoint into every other possible concern, it's attractive to preemptively assume that it is chiefly responsible. Regardless of whether you are correct, you might feel that this will be a winning strategy.
Those who subscribe to an ideological position on matters of this concern will choose to highlithy, even while knowing it is incorrect, so long as they believe it is to be socially viable.
It is obvious that if a human being believes a factor bears chief responsibility in some matter, and it meets a Threshold of Importance to them, they will proactively or reactively support an effort to make this known in their social space.
