That isn't it at all. The two forms of immunity work differently. COVID infection may be mild or asymptomatic, but represents a threat of significant illness or death. The result of coronavirus infection generates immunity which works directly against a broad ranch of viral features and lasts 1.5 to 2 years. One of the factors involved with so called long COVID is infection causing an immune reaction to the body's own ACE receptors. Viral immunity does have some risks, but they are fairly well understood, happen at extremely low frequency, and are most often exhibited within 15 minutes of administration which allows for precautions to be taken. The resulting immunity is specific to those parts of the virus targeted by the vaccine, but this generates very high titers which can be extremely effective in fighting infections. Furthermore, it is important to understand that a large portion of the population has suppressed immunity and may not develop strong immunity from infection while also being at greater risk for negative outcomes. This is the population currently being urged to get vaccine boosters in order to reduce risks. Projecting dislike for the drug industry onto this science can distort important judgements.
