This kind of sentiment gets repeated a lot. Why do you say this? You really think that significant number of people is deliberately self infecting? I don't know anyone who did it on purpose, and majority of my social circle got the covid at one point without trying to catch it. Some before vaccine was available, some after getting their shots. Even if 1% of population is stupid enough to do it deliberately, and I very much doubt it's that high number, it still leaves 99% of people who did not catch it on purpose. Disregarding their immunity is not scientific at all. And focusing on miniscule Darwin-award population is not very emphatical to 99% who are not like that. Why do focus on Darwin-award subset like that's the most common case? And know what? If you didn't catch it so far, it's highly likely that you'll get Omicron pretty soon. Or one of future variants. If not in next months then in next years, as we get back to normal and covid variants keep circulating as endemic virus. How would you feel if you just recovered from the latest strain, you're full of antibodies, but it's not recognized at all by government and you have to take a booster shot made for last year's variant in order to get back to work? Does that make sense? It looks pretty much insane to me, but I live in Europe where previous infection is more or less equalized with vaccine. I'm baffled it's not like that in the US.
