"immunity" without a qualifier is not a very technical word and will be difficult to use here. You can have a lack of immunological memory wrt a virus and still not get very sick from it.
We all have existing immune systems. They work when they detect foreign cells. How fast those responses happens vs how fast the virus spreads in our cells makes a big difference. If initial infection is low and your response is good then your chances are better. There is variation in how well and how fast and how effective response is.
A viruse like HIV are resistant to detection and immune response. You don't know you have it for months or years, then it wrecks your immune system and your T cell count gets extremely low and after that point you probably die quickly without treatment.

I think, in hindsight, we’ll see that Bill Gates’s idea of putting the microchips in ivermectin was brilliant.

If the vaccines were to be used for population control (the “killer vaccines”), wouldn’t governments rather get rid of those they view as opposing them?

These are facetious posts but I don’t have the memes to back them up, like Griff.

Re: Will you be getting a COVID-19 vaccine?
With regard to natural immunity vs vaccines: I think your risk of getting shingles if you had chickenpox as a kid, vs kids who had the herpes zoster vaccine and got a milder chickenpox is quite significantly higher.
Probably not apples and apples but it is one data point where vaccine-based immunity is stronger than the natural one.
