Zeynep Turfekci talks about this in this thread, and about why she thinks prior infection offers less protection than the vaccines, to the point that she supports vaccinations for those who have already caught COVID.

It's so ridiculous now they're requiring vaccination for the vaccinated too.

Lost a lot of respect for Zeynep after reading that. The argument boils down to unvaxxed have more hospitalization, some unvaxxed also have prior infection, therefore prior infection isn't effective. There is no data in her post that those with prior infection are the ones being hospitalized. Meanwhile, there is real data elsewhere on this topic.
