The data on vaccine efficacy is not new. The data on relative immunity post disease course vs. vaccine is what's new. But when when choosing to vaccinate or get infected, one has to evaluate the cost of infection and vaccination.
The cost of vaccination is a day or so of malaise. The cost of infection is 10+ days of flu like symptoms, the possibility of hospitalization, the possibility of death and the possibility of long term morbidity. It's a pretty straight forward computation; vaccination has very low cost vs. natural disease course.
