If you're correct, I'd prefer to achieve my superhuman natural immunity by developing a hospital-free, non-lethal, probably asymptomatic case of covid courtesy of my vaccination.

If people are still developing mild and asymptomatic covid while vaccinated, this is this best case scenario. We march on toward herd immunity and "naturally" developed immune cells while keeping people out of the hospitals and morgues. It would seem to be the perfect scenario.

You go ahead and do it the hard way.
