I read a study last week about the effectiveness of vaccines vs the Delta variant, they included natural immunity. Their conclusions: 1 shot = no real efficacy, 2 shots give around equal resistance as natural immunity.

Of course this all means jack squat as the real issue (at least to me) is long-term impacts. We can't know about issues which may arise in 5-7 years because the vaccines haven't even existed for 2 years yet (although they are in well over 100M people in the US alone).

Lafayette general posted a psa from one of their doctors saying that the problem with natural infection is that everyone receives a different amount of antibodies based on the severity of the infection. If you had a very minor infection over a year ago, chances are that your immunity isn’t that great. I had a cousin who had Covid about 13 months ago and it was super mild (just lost taste and smell and a very low fever) she got an antibody test before going back to college last August and don’t have any antibodies. However, I bet someone who had a pretty rough go of it with Covid probably had antibodies that lasted a lot longer.
