Nobody knows what dose was delivered to the “natural immunity” group, how many times, or when.

there are very similar issues with the vaccine - the same dosage of the vaccine will not behave the same in everyone

but this is a good point I hadn't considered, thanks

Seems we should be able to test for antibodies though. Why aren't we?

we are testing for antibodies but antibodies aren't the only immune system response and depending on who you ask might not even be the "main" defense against covid.

It's a blood test, and I suspect that it's even harder to motivate everyone to get a blood draw than to get a vaccine.
