Better to phrase it as “surviving a COVID infection yields immunity”. It seems analogous to a single mRNA dose, particularly from Moderna. Further vaccination, or I guess surviving a second COVID infection increases protection. Antibodies fade over time, but there hope that the memory b/t cells let it reappear when needed. And I suspect next years booster will fight delta directly. I would think people would be interested in whatever might keep them out of hospital, and hopefully be willing to protect those they interact with.

And hope you don’t end up with an a overly aggressive response to COVID triggering a cytokine storm. This is one of the big reasons to get tested with flu-like symptoms, and why steroids are a go to drug.
