Having been infected before offers little to no protection in the short/medium term.
Wow! You are remarkably wrong. Getting CV is far better than getting vaccinated in the range up to 9 months. We just don’t know about after that. The second vaccine shot gets you close, but still not to where the actual disease does.

I know of multiple people both symptomatic and lab confirmed for COVID with negative tests in between (thus isn't a long term shredder scenario) in a 4-5 month time frame.
The reason is straightforward and I explained why in the "remarkably wrong" post: Your immunity isn't to the "virus" but to a specific antigen of the virus, determined by chance. If your body picks an antigen prone to sustained mutation, it wouldn't confer long protection.
Vaccine attempts to limit antigens to react to only the highly conserved options which are highly unlikely to change via mutation.
