    That study (at least the abstract) does not support your contention. It makes the case that previously infected individuals do not need to be prioritised for vaccination, not that natural immunity is better than vaccine driven immunity. Perhaps you shared the wrong paper?

      Perhaps you misread the paper? You cherry picked a portion of the abstract and made it seem like that conclusion was made. Here, let me help you: "Conclusions: Individuals who have had SARS-CoV-2 infection are unlikely to benefit from COVID-19 vaccination, and vaccines can be safely prioritized to those who have not been infected before." You can prioritize those who have not been infected before BECAUSE those who HAVE been infected are unlikely to see a benefit in vaccinating to begin with.

        Your point was that natural immunity was better than vaccine induced immunity. The paper does not support this contention. Like, I'm academically interested in this, and I know how easy it is to share the wrong paper, hence my final comment.
