I went to chickenpox parties. We knew back then that it was better to catch it young.
The pox parties were why they denounced natural immunity. It was about keeping the illusion of healthcare availability in place. Countries that could deal with more than a hundred ICU cases recognized natural immunity (Europe).
Countries that couldn't, denied that natural immunity is possible and denounced entire scientific disciplines in the process. What they didn't want was tax payers losing their shit at the government when 100 old and feeble people got sick at once and overflowed the ICU capacity in states and provinces with millions of people. It was all very fake and very gay and academia will never recover from it without a reckoning.
