Covid Natural Vaccine Immunity vs. Vaccine Immunity
Institutions foolishly seem determined to ignore immunity from natural infection. So I have reviewed the evidence regarding how powerful natural immunity is, and how it compares to immunity from vaccines.
Covid Reinfections to Date
Surely the most obvious question to ask regarding the strength of natural immunity is how many reinfections have there been. Covid has been around for more than 17 months.
There have been more than 163 million cases reported. The risk of reinfection should be quite evident by now. How many reinfections have there been?
Globally there are 72 confirmed re-infections of covid, out of over 163 million cases. 3 confirmed deaths.

Here are those same numbers, with percentages.
Obviously these percentages are extremely low, and powerfully indicate a degree of protection from infection and death greater than that promised by the vaccines.
What Does Normal Medical Theory Say About Vaccines vs. Natural Immunity?
It says that natural immunity almost always causes better immunity than vaccines.

Are There Studies of Vaccine vs. Natural Immunity from Covid?
Yes, there is one that covers the entire population of Israel:
medrxiv.org/content/10.110…
It shows that both are very strong and natural is a little bit stronger. This is the gold standard study thus far.
So in summary:
1. 17 months of covid history show that reinfections are extremely rare.
2. Normal medical theory says that immunity from natural infection is almost always superior to vaccine immunity.
3. The one major real world study comparing the two types of immunity for covid shows both are great, but natural is a little better.
So why are the CDC, my son's summer camp, my daughters' university, the EU, etc., etc. all granting credit for vaccines and ignoring immunity from natural infection?

An excellent discussion that gets into the various components of the human immune system response.

An excellent thread on the topic by @gerdosi
A thread on my own timeline with many helpful answers and links @plc, @TheEliKlein
Oops, I poste the wrong link here, thanks for pointing this out @TheEliKlein . Here is what I meant to post.
More evidence that reinfections after natural infections are extremely rare. This from study in Lombardy, Italy.
