That's not hard to understand. Natural immunity is one infection and done for most if not all and it will be a complete, robust immunity to the virus as opposed to a temporary vaccination effect that would have to be repeated (which is very similar to a flu shot).
That's why.
Those pushing the shots never took the time to fully educate people on how this all works. Now you way not want to go that route, and I don't blame you, but one of the reasons data was either hidden, not freely given or not collected, was to remove the ability of people to use it to properly assess the situation and make personal decisions. You had to jump through hoops, know someone, listen to the right people or have a degree in statistics to get adequate data (and you still do on some level). They took your ability to educate your decision making process off the table. And furthermore, you cannot lie to people on such a regular basis and have them NOT be skeptical. Did any of us really trust government or politicians or even big pharma for that matter? No, and their actions in this climate have only strengthened that position.
Natural immunity might be longer lasting (as suggested by the study @"TXBamanut" linked) but we know that the IgG-titer are dropping in both cases. Thankfully T/B cell half life time is looking solid. Be it natural immunity or the vaccine. Not a have it once and be done with it situation. And as mentioned the vaccine also improves the immune response of people that already had it.
The mechanisms of the mRNA COVID vaccines aren´t in any way or form comparable to the flu shot. We are talking about completly different viruses. The flu shot is targeting a number of different subtypes/strains and needs to be adjusted each year. As of now we don´t know if this is the case with COVID. Next important part of vaccine research is the impact of the booster shot.
Data wasn´t hidden. In some cases data was simply missing. That´s pretty normal when we are talking about a new virus. We nearly made it out of the conspiracy theory category in the last two days but it seems like we are making a deep dive again.
