Please don't think of it as natural immunity vs vaccine induced immunity. Think of it as a risky versus safe way of getting immunity.
Both present antigen to the immune system which responds in the natural way it was designed to. #COVID19

The whole virus which is capable of dividing presents the immune system with a bigger challenge & can overpower some people. Even previously healthy.
It also can cause serious damage before the immune system can react.
A vaccine provides the immune system a safer target & time

The word "natural" makes it sound like the virus is some kind of healthy fruit growing on a tree. It's not.
Someone asked what if I already had COVID and recovered fully. One good reason to still get vaccinated: the way the immune system works is that a second exposure to the same antigen produces a more vigorous, more enduring response. More memory cells. More IgG antibodies.
