> young male already immune due to having had Covid

Citation needed on the “already immune” bit. So far studies have shown that immunity to the corona wears off, and most people can be reinfected months to a year later.

Yeah, they can be infected agains, but that's also true if they've been vaccinated, or both vaccinated and had Covid.

The incremental benefit of a healthy young person getting vaccinated after already having had Covid may be quite small. Plus the incidence of myocarditis in this group (vaccinated after having had Covid) could well be higher than it is in people getting vaccinated who haven't had Covid. (This is plausible, since as seen in this study, the risk is higher for the second shot, when the immune system has already been stimulated before.)

It's also very possible that the risks for covid in each possible circumstance are higher than that for the vaccine. Quite likely even.

The shortest documented timeframe between infections is actually 20 days !
