      It’s not just avoiding damage to individuals. Each new infected person means billions of new copies of the virus, each with a chance of mutating and causing a new variant. Until we see the end of a continent being left as a human petri dish, we’re just going to be seeing more and more variants.

          No idea, but that’s inconsequential. Immunization via infection just provides a chance for a new variant, and people can be infected multiple times. Immunization via vaccines does not have that risk.
