Is it? You seem to be conveniently choosing your data providers. The study out of Israel showed prior infection provides 13X increase in protection over vaccination. Unfortunately, the data aren't clear.
What is clear, however, is young people with antibodies (either through vaccination or prior infection) don't need to live in fear.
"SARS-CoV-2-naïve vaccinees had a 13.06-fold (95% CI, 8.08 to 21.11) increased risk for breakthrough infection with the Delta variant compared to those previously infected, when the first event (infection or vaccination) occurred during January and February of 2021. The increased risk was significant (P<0.001) for symptomatic disease as well."

- myko 5y agoThe data is clear though, that's the point of the study I linked. There's more data coming out supporting getting vaccinated even with a prior infection: https://www.nebraskamed.com/COVID/covid-19-studies-natural-immunity-versus-vaccination https://www.nebraskamed.com/COVID/covid-19-studies-natural-i... It is also just logical that vaccination + natural immunity is better than one or the other.
