Early studies showed it was successful at reducing hospitalizations and deaths, and I never doubted that. I still don't. However, when the CDC didn't recognize natural immunity and started treating vaccination as the only prevention measure, my spidey sense started tingling. Most of the rest of the scientific world recognized natural immunity...
