Seriously, I don't if anyone can say for a certainty at this point whether a natural immunity is better or longer lasting than a vaccine.
Here's a link to a study done in Isreal, that seems to conclude that a combination of natural immunity AND vaccine offers the most effective protection. But I'm not willing to expose myself to the virus to test it!
