COVID: Vaccines vs. Immunity Acquired Via Infection

This seems obvious to me--though, of course, I lack all relevant expertise...so...

First, you don't mandate vaccines for something with such a low mortality rate--so I don't understand how this is on the table. It's not even clear to me that it's a medical question, but a moral/political one.

Second, speaking with the vulgar and not with the learned, this is an experimental vaccine. The more it is insisted that it's THE MOST PERFECTLY SAFE VACCINE OF ALL TIME AND EVERYBODY MUST TAKE IT EVEN PEOPLE WHO HAVE ALREAD ACQUIRED IMMUNITY FROM INFECTION...the clearer it becomes that something loony is going on here. The only rational position is: Ok, you've had the batflu, no need for the vax. But: there should be no talk of mandates, anyway. If somebody had it and still wants to be vaxxed--well, sounds like that's up to them. But unless/until it's proven that naturally-acquired immunity is basically useless--no. No pushing vaccines on them.

   There's some weird vaccine-o-philia going on... and, as usual, on the left: that which is not forbidden is mandatory. There's never any middle ground. Mask are their burkas, vaccines their sacrament. They just keep finding new ways to be nuts.

   Even if mandates were reasonable--and, again, I don't see that they are--you can't mandate them for people with immunity from having been infected. And if you want to try such a thing, the burden of proof is on you: you have to show that the naturally-acquired immunity is notably worse than vax-acquired immunity. 

   When did everybody go insane?

   I mean, I think the right has gone nutty on this one, too, since many over there seem to think the vax is poison. They are extremely against getting it--many of them even though they're in seriously vulnerable groups. 

   But, as usual, our contemporary right has a hard time matching the maniacal nuttiness on the contemporary left.

   How can you possibly think it's a good idea to put all our eggs in a basket like this one--speaking, again, as a layperson. If there's some rational response to that concern, I haven't seen it. We should not be pushing this onto healthy young people in particular. In fact, we should be thankful when healthy young people want to go without it--they're eggs we're keeping outside of this dicey basket.

   I've heard and read several accounts of healthy young guys in the military who find out they've had it, but didn't even realize it. Don't go vaxxing people like that.

   And, look, I'm not anti-vax!

   I'm just recommending that we be, y'know, reasonable about it--so far as I can tell what that means, anyway. Needless to say I could be completely wrong. But the only thing I can see that would refute this position would be if the "long COVID" turns out to be (a) real and (b) very bad. That would change a whole lot.
