I doubt it. I caught it in Aug/September during the delta wave and am way less careful now than I was before. Not saying this is true or advocating a position here, but I feel like the pandemic is over for me, I don't have to worry about any current variants, etc. The people I talk to who have also developed natural immunity have the same sort of feeling.

Meanwhile… my sister and her daughter had a Covid sandwich: caught it in summer 2020, got vaccinated as soon as feasible, then caught it again a few days ago.
Anecdotally, my sister is one of those people who “catches everything” so I can’t say I’m surprised, but clearly there is no such thing as absolute sterilizing immunity (natural or vaccine-induced) for this particular coronavirus.

It's not specific to this one, it's true of all coronaviruses.
This article explains why it's so hard to make a vaccine for coronaviruses:
https://www.abc.net.au/news/health/2020-04-17/coronavirus-va...
Of course, this was written a few weeks before "Project Warp Speed" when everyone and their dog announced that had found a vaccine for this brand new coronavirus.
Is that because people who have caught it are more likely to take precautions against catching it again?
Those who were vaccinated but previously uninfected may have had a “it can’t happen to me and if it does, I’m vaccinated” attitude.
I’d expect unvaccinated people to be in the bucket with covid deniers and anti-maskers, which would have the highest base rate of COVID.
