The information is out there- do some Googling. It's well established that vaccine immunity is better than natural immunity from having COVID. Protection from breakthrough infections used to be over 90%, now it seems to be more like 60%. But what matters is the odds of getting hospitalized or dying is dramatically reduced. Vaccination reduces those odds by 98-99%. Why dismiss the vaccine if the odds are good you might still get it if you're extremely unlikely to get seriously ill or die?
