@Hacky McAxe is the man to ask.. however check this out. According to this article Natural immunity is better, however prevention is better than cure..
Vaccine Safety: Immune System and Health | Children's Hospital of Philadelphia
In this section we address vaccine topics related to natural infection vs. immunization and the impact of vaccines on the immune system.www.chop.edu
Yep. Natural will always provide a better response because your immune system is fighting the actual virus rather than a weaker version of the virus.
But the cons outweigh the pros. The cons being:
- chance of injury or death from the virus but not from the vaccine (except in extreme circumstances)
- chance of passing the virus on to another person, which doesn't happen with the vaccine
They counteract this by providing a vaccine followed up by a second vaccine or booster.
