There are two different buckets of people that OP is conflating:

* Those who haven't been infected yet

* Those who have already been infected

They're ignoring the second bucket, which is what GP was pointing out - only talking about the first bucket and pretending it applies to both.

No. They are addressing the subgroup of the first group of people, who you are ignoring:

* Those who haven't been infected who are wondering if they should not bother with the vaccine if getting infected provides durable immunity.

The answer to that is: the vaccine is orders of magnitude less dangerous than contracting the virus.

Just because you don't address every single group of people in a response does not mean that response is invalid or unimportant.

What group two should do is far more interesting IMO given this evidence.
