Vaccines protect better against COVID than prior infection. Let this please end the "natural immunity" talk. #GetVaccinated nytimes.com/2021/10/29/hea…
Infection with Covid does give some protection. But getting vaccinated after will augment that protection and make it more durable.
For more read my prior thread on why it's important to get vaccinated whether or not you have had COVID.

It really doesn't matter whether vaccines protect 5 times more than prior Covid, to the same level, or even a lesser degree than prior infection. Vaccines are a far safer way to get immunity if you haven't had Covid. And if you already had Covid, vaccines augment that protection.
Remember antibody levels wane after Covid, especially mild Covid. Antibodies are not routinely checked & even if they are, they may have disappeared. So the only reinfections we count will be people who had symptomatic confirmed Covid. Underestimates occurrence.
In contrast everyone knows if they had a Covid vaccine. So breakthrough Covid infections after vaccination don't suffer that kind of underestimation.
