re: Vaccine Provide Better Protection from Covid than Actually Getting Covid?

Understand the controlling the spread aspect of the vaccine since asymptomatic people would be less likely to spread the virus but I’ve heard people argue that the vaccine actually provides better protection going forward from Covid than if you actually had the virus. Why is that the case?

It’s more a known versus unknown thing. The effective rate of the vaccines is incredibly high. We don’t know the immunity level infection provides long term. Plus, vaccination doesn’t carry the poor outcomes risk that infection does.
