You should at least account for additional sick days, tens of millions of them.

Can you be sure the temporary side effects (caused by the engagement of the immune system) wouldn't be diminished for people with existing immunity? It might not be as much of a concern.

I believe one of the major studies that found that natural immunity was better than the Pfizer shot alone also found that natural immunity plus the shot was better still.

I can't be sure, could go either way. Remember for instance that the second dose causes on average worse side effects.
