> Also also, isn't it something that is known that natural immunity is better than vaccine-acquired immunity?

Yes, I pointed this out elsewhere in the thread, but it has somehow been verboten until very recently to state it in regards to Covid. My brother-in-law was even told by the people administering his vaccine that having had a prior Covid case put him at more risk and made it even more essential that he get vaccinated.



It does not seem unreasonable to me to extrapolate that people who caught COVID-19 once are more likely, as a group, to be exposed to it again in the future. That would be a matter of their environment rather than their individual resistance to the virus. I haven't seen any studies on that issue, though.

In any case the vaccine is safe, effective, and way better than actually catching COVID-19. And in the event that you did already recover from COVID-19, getting the vaccine doesn't hurt and will boost your immunity even further. So—unless you have a specific medical condition which dramatically increases your changes of an adverse reaction–you should just get the vaccine.
