Personally, I don't see why they can't allow those who want it to take the mild risk of going for natural immunity to do so.
Really? I'd think that their absolute refusal to even acknowledge that natural immunity is a thing any more, let alone admit that the overwhelming evidence is that natural immunity is far more comprehensive and effective, and likely (per the results of the tests in this regard to SARS-Cov-1 recoverees) lifelong.

A lot of people I know who were fully vaccinated are getting covid.
One family of about 8 all got covid.
The grandmother and father were vaccinated.
The rest were not. All their systems were mild.

(picture of empty corona app without proof of vaccination, who would have thought it could happen....)

No stored digital vaccination certificate. As a result, no access to the building at first. Fortunately, the next test opportunity is just around the corner. Here I have to test myself and wait for the result. Just as unvaccinated people who have not recovered have to do it. It took 30 minutes - longer than my way to the office. By the way, while waiting, I can think of something else.
In the evening I'm invited to a small group event. I want to go there right after work. The prerequisite for this is 2G, i.e. only recovered or vaccinated guests. So without proof of vaccination I will not be admitted.

Simple answer..
There's no money to be made from natural immunity.. it being natural and all..
What it boils down to, is that we are all bought and paid for. The illusion of freedom, rights, and independence, is over. There is no longer a need for such charades. Most have already made their choices.
Jobs, children, spouses, parents, property, promises of things desired, we all have a price. Some of us have found out what that price is. Some of us are quickly on our way to finding out.

I know i got very close to my price of getting the shot when i was not allowed into the hospital to see my wife because of not having the injections...
I was extremely close to saying “to hell with it” and have them shoot me up on the spot just to be able to see her..

Lifelong for that single strain you got. By your logic you only need to get a cold once and you’ll never ever get a cold again?
I think those pushing for the vaccine suggest the vaccines provide a more comprehensive ‘protection’ that natural immunity as they work slightly different to natural immunity?
I dunno, but anyway your stance that natural immunity is all encompassing is possibly wrong.
In order to gain natural immunity you must first get sick.
But the smallpox epidemic of 1721 was different than any that came before it. As sickness swept through the city, killing hundreds in a time before modern medical treatment or a robust understanding of infectious disease, an enslaved man known only as Onesimus suggested a potential way to keep people from getting sick. Intrigued by Onesimus’ idea, a brave doctor and an outspoken minister undertook a bold experiment to try to stop smallpox in its tracks.
The operation Onesimus referred to consisted of rubbing pus from an infected person into an open wound on the arm. This was done in a controlled manner and under the supervision of a physician so the symptoms would be milder but still confer immunity. Once the infected material was introduced into the body, the person who underwent the procedure was inoculated against smallpox. It wasn’t a vaccination, which involves exposure to a less dangerous virus to provoke immunity, but it did activate the recipient’s immune response and protected against the disease most of the time.

Heads up (rumor)...the official (Govt/CDC) definition of "fully vaccinated", is expected to officially change, as of 1/1/2022. More than 180 days since a vax or booster? You're not fully vaccinated.
