I think the problem is that there are likely a lot of false positive tests out there, so you can't really study the effectiveness of prior infection if you can't be sure who was really infected.

Could you do more than 1 test to confirm? Just seems like the response is we think there is protection and chance of reinfection seems rare but we really don’t know how to confirm so just go and get the vaccine just to be sure.

That's simply not true.
You have to do an active study though. You have to identify people who have had positive tests and who show an antibody response. Then you have to track them over time like you do with the vaccine studies.
