6 cases of reinfection out of millions of cases of covid still has contracting covid granting much better immunity than the vaccine.

6? lol. The number is 70 with 36,000+ suspected. https://bnonews.com/index.php/2020/08/covid-19-reinfection-t...

Vaccine-based immunity allows for a greater variance in neutralizing antibodies to form relative to the spike protein, compared to natural immunity attacking less critical vectors. Get the vaccine even if you had covid

Infection is possible with all vaccines as well. Resulting viral load will be what matters: How strong their immune response is, how infectious the re-infected patient is, and how severe their symptoms are.

It's not a binary "You have COVID" vs "You don't have COVID". Not for vaccines, nor for re-infections.
