> the randomized nature of our immune response can lead to some less desirable antibodies being present

Exactly! The point of many COVID vaccines is to teach the immune system to destroy a very specific and very important protein, which is the spike protein. Without that the virus can't enter cells. It's not present in our own body.

We have no idea what kind of immune response any given person might get with an actual infection. Reinfections are a thing.



There are several orders of magnitude more documented breakthrough cases than documented reinfections.


Your last paragraph makes little sense. We have no idea what kind of immune response any given person might get with a vaccine (any vaccine) either. What kind of test this is? And infections after covid vaccines are sadly also a thing.
