It still misses an important point in that it's better to get vaxxed than get Covid in the first place (and to be vaxxed if you get Covid).
Getting yourself infected with Covid is not an equal replacement, healthwise, to getting vaxxed.

From the author of the meta analysis (if you read the article):
>“The problem of saying ‘I’m gonna get infected to get immunity’ is you might be one of those people that end up in the hospital or die,” Murray said. “Why would you take the risk when you can get immunity through vaccination quite safely?”
He's a researcher reporting on the results of his research in one of the most respected peer reviewed medical journals, not an anti-vaxxer FFS.

I realize what happens when people actually read articles, but they don't.
Instead I get my insufferable anti-vaxxer relatives sharing screenshotted headlines like this, and then I need to debunk or block even more.

They aren't wrong. They will get immunity....when they are dead. Problem solved.

Good point. Vaccine + COVID is exponentially better odds than just catching COVID naked.

That’s not a point, it’s your anecdotal opinion lol.

There's plenty of science and stats to back it up...aside from common sense.

Not sure how you get that.
In the first link, "severe" complications are in 5.9 per 10,000, and is fairly consistent with both vaccines.
Now if you look at severe complications for unvaccinated individuals, the rate is 1500-2400 severe complications per 10,000 for symptomatic individuals.
It's not even close.
Second link you provided only counts "severe" as ventilated. There are far more complications than just this with Covid.
The third...well. It is what it is.
