There's evidence that the vaccines give better protection than natural infection. There's also evidence that being infected and then being vaccinated gives better protection than either one by itself.

Additionally, this isn't how public health works. Vaccines are a level of protection that is easy to standardize and operationalize. We don't let schoolchildren skip getting the chickenpox vaccine if they've already had chickenpox.

OK but then make the vaccine (which one btw? there's so many to choose from for sars-cov-2) mandatory.

Don't say people have a choice, then punish those who decided to choose to not get vaccinated.

I'm fully vaccinated and so is my wife, but I'll fight for the right of those who decide to not get vaccinated.

It's not ok to call other names (like "egoist") when they exercise the choice they still, to this date, have.
