Not saying you're wrong James, I'm just not sure that's entirely accurate. As I understand it, the reason the vaccines lose efficacy against the variants is that the vaccines only train the body to recognize the spike protein. From what I've read, the virus exposes the body to more things and creates a more robust immune response. The more robust response through infection offers a higher level of protection against the variants as I understand it. I'll try to find something to back that up but I remember reading something along those lines recently. But I do know it does depend on how long ago you were infected and how severe the infection was.
