If the vaccine worked for more than a few months you would be correct. Everyone get vaccinated and it's over.

But the vaccine failed, it doesn't prevent infection, it doesn't prevent transmission, and it only lasts for a few months.

It does protect against serious illness though.

But because it doesn't prevent reinfection new variants have plenty of hosts. Natural immunity is better in this regard since it lasts longer.

Best option: Get vaccinated, then get infected while you still have immunity - you get all the benefits with much lower risk of serious disease.

That what I do, I try to be in large gatherings at least every 3 months, then I keep getting new immunity without getting seriously sick.
