The evidence continues to mount that natural immunity is not necessarily better than vaccination, and that getting vaccinated is even more of a slam dunk case than it was before. If anybody is desperate, it's the deniers.
Where is your evidence that vaccination is superior to natural immunity? In my area, the breakthrough case rate per vaccinated individual is more than six times the reinfection rate per confirmed covid case individuals. In the UK, reinfections are 1.5% of the cases while breakthrough infections are 60% of the cases. So please explain your claim.
Never claimed that natural immunity is superior, I'm saying that it's not definitively clear which form of immunization is better right now because there is conflicting evidence. The CDC for one has complicated the idea that natural immunity beats vaccination:

I'd be hard pressed to make such a quick judgement based on conflicting data like this; it seems the most rational route is to just get vaccinated seeing the risks of the vaccine are lower than the risks of covid across most age groups.
