> I'll again point out that however the spike might fuck with B and T cells, the full-blown virus will surely do more.

Sure. And the full-blown virus trigger the same immune response and create the same spike protein..

BUT, this is all about risk management. If you live alone in somewhere very low infection rate and don't meet people, there is no point taking this risk.

If you need a vaccine, there are safer (but less effective) alternative vaccines.

Heh, good luck! Delta's r0 of 6 to 8 is too high to meaningfully avoid. Sure, if you're some sort of hermit, you can probably manage, but if you're in North America, vaccination rates in rural areas will work against you. Frankly, there's no point in taking the risk.
