If you've had COVID, a vaccine can help with Long COVID symptoms, and it can reduce the risk of reinfection, so it's still better to be vaccinated than to catch COVID a second time.

The vaccine reportedly can also trigger a more severe immune response in people who already have naturally-acquired antibodies.

Try to find good statistics on the rates and severity of adverse reactions for people who have already have COVID. I've had very little success.

This. And generally the possibility of more severe immune responses after vaxing. (Like with dengue for example) It is obvious these are a problem, and it's obvious we do not talk a out that right now.

Saying the vaccine is a perfect solution that will solve all our issues is just dellusional

There is no evidence of that with this vaccine, and with the number of people who have received it we would have collected that evidence by now, so stop spreading hypotheticals.

All evidence is that it still is a greater risk to not get vaccinated if you've had COVID than to get vaccinated. A lot of bullshit "reportedly" happens. That's why the CDC sets guidelines based on the based scientific evidence available and says you should get the vaccine whether or not you had COVID. Stop spreading disinformation.

To be a bit blunt - I made an unsupported assumption, which I called out explicitly by the use of scare quotes. You have responded with an unsupported dismissal.

I am most assuredly not spreading disinformation.
