I'm no virologist, and I'm sure this has been brought up before, but it's practically impossible to find a final, authoritative answer at this point, so I'll ask you directly since you have first-hand experience and probably had some discussions with qualified people on this very topic:
If you had Covid, you've now built up the antibodies for it, aka the best immunization available, custom-built just for you. What is the reasoning then behind getting the shot?
(and I'm not trying to turn this into a political discussion...just curious, given how I was taught viruses work)

Simply because nobody knows how long "I've had it" immunity lasts!
Heck, we have no idea how long the vaccine immunity lasts yet - so better safe than (very, very) sorry.
I wouldn't want it again, and I would feel terrible if I got it symptomlessly and gave it to others.

Thus my reason for asking. 6 of one, half a dozen of the other, no?
If that's your stance despite having had it already - then that speaks rather favorably. I appreciate your reporting your first-hand experience.

It's claimed the vaccines help protect against variants. Don't think anyone knows if you survive Coved-19 if you're then better able to deal with the variants. And some people get re-infected; would the vaccine have helped their case? Maybe. If you have been vaccinated and still get sick, then the symptoms are milder and chances of death are practically zero.

My understanding of the vaccine is that it does not prevent you from getting sick, but is "supposed" to prevent you from becoming hospitalized and dying, as you mentioned.

Yes; when they say it is "92% effective", there's an 8% chance you will still "come down with" the virus even though vaccinated (but less so).

Look at it like training, the more you train the better you get at it.
First jab will teach your immune system how to fight it, the second tells it that this will happen again and make sure it has the guard up in the future.
So the first shot might not make you immune against Covid, but the second most probably will. (unless you have some sort of immune deficiency aka very old)
The first shot is most probably enough to keep the infection short and manageable.

So, why blame the vaccine? What qualified you to rule out other problems, like age?

That's EUR 1250 for the entire amount (at retail prices; wholesale would presumably be lower), or less than EUR 0.0001 per CodeProject member. If it cures Sander of his propensity to lay his stinkers in The Lounge, it might be worth it.

I've never eaten, or (to my knowledge) been near the stuff. I just know of it by reputation.

Well, I plan to be in Amsterdam with my family (on holiday) next month, but I wouldn't bother wasting your money; none of us like the very smelly cheeses.

I'm from the part of the Netherlands known as Limburg.
It works great on mushroom pizza and stops it being smelly.

Good that I'm not married. I probably could not resist. I'm already far too honest when I get bombarded with a sream of irrelevance.
