Unvaxxed people have 75x more hospitalization, 48x more death. (https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/08/10/us/covid-brea...)
"Compared with the unvaccinated, fully vaccinated people overall had a much lower chance of testing positive for the virus or dying from it, even through the summer’s Delta surge and the relaxation of pandemic restrictions in many parts of the country." (https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/10/28/us/covid-brea...)
Vaccination definitely mitigates hospitalization and death.

'By early October, persons who survived a previous infection had lower case rates than persons who were vaccinated alone.'
You're looking at a fundamentally different group of people.
If you didn't consider the vaccinated people who then died of covid, you'd see a lot less hospitalizations there too
Should the current group who have recovered take the side-effect risks, or is the CDC note about reduced susceptibility to infection something to consider when making a decision about the first vaccine shot?
In my experience (and this is anecdotal) there’s no rhyme or reason as to why this virus affects some people more than others. You can try to tell me why, but it would ask me to betray what i’ve witnessed (or lack thereof) over the past two years.
The data isn’t reliable nor convincing, so i’m not sure how you’re in the definitive “experimental jab better than nothing” camp.
PS - Two doses here.
