Which tells me that your response of:

is wholly inappropriate as they clearly know what you are using as a rebuttal and makes me wonder if you are the one with no idea of what you are reading!

Perhaps take a second to read the person's comment more thoroughly before being rude, which I see you've continued with in the rest of your comment. It's a discussion, not a fight, try to add your thoughts in a better way, please.

The N protein is evasive, I do not believe your body can mount an effective (neutralizing antibodies) defense. But I guess you are right, your body can still fight it which is overall better than just fighting off the virus with vaccine protection
I wasn't making any statement about natural immunity versus vaccine provoked immunity, but the attitude and sloppiness of the commenter and comment I replied to. I have no idea if one is "better" than the other.
