I am a huge proponent of vaccines and I have had more vaccines than the average person will ever have, but this doesn't make sense. Why only under 30s? Many people, in fact the overwhelming majority of all age categories who already had COVID know that their risk of COVID is actually 0% since their body has already proven to deal with this virus without an issue. These people are past the point of danger and risk. To those people taking a vaccine which has side effects like blood clots just doesn’t make any sense, regardless how old they are. I can understand that a 70 year old who hasn't had COVID yet will have a higher benefit to risk ratio with the vaccine, but to "COVID survivors" that benefit-risk-ratio is negative. Besides that it also doesn’t make sense to wave all responsibilities of vaccine producers and then forcing an emergency approved vaccine with blood clot potential on a healthy population through vaccine passports. I am increasingly more disappointed with out government.

There's definitely something unsettling about the establishment departing from the pretty conventional and sensible idea that someone who's recovered from a disease doesn't need to be vaccinated against it.

Has there been any cases of people getting infected with covid and then later having a more severe reinfection?

  Yes, though most of the cases are from Brazil where the city of Manaus had a massive outbreak in the first wave. Everyone thought that they would be immune after that but since then another variant arose in that area and is killing lots of people who had the previous variant, including a much higher percentage of younger people. This variant is now widespread in Brasil and has been found in other countries, too. It looks like having an infection gives you some limited immunity but nothing as robust as the vaccines do.
