A digression.

It seems at least plausible that more person-months have now been lived by people who've been vaccinated using Biontech/Pfizer and AZ vaccines than by people who've recovered from the disease. If so, then one might say that the riskier option viewed purely in terms of long-term experience is natural immunity.

Billions(Trillions? Quadrillions?) more person months have been spent training our genetics against coronaviruses in general.
And indeed coronaviruses don't have long-term effects in general. But you know this one is special in the short term, so how do you whether it is or isn't in the long term?
