but some immunity beats no immunity

It is not that easy. I think that vaccine-induced immunity can´t be as effective as a naturally acquired immunity, based on all compartments of the immune system. The best is to have a strong immune system and undergo the Coronavirus infection. For this of course a healthy lifestyle and an active social life is needed, contrary to the lockdowns and wearing masks (which weakens the immune system). And it could well be that for future variants, the vaccinated patients are more susceptible. I call them patients, as the Phase 3 studies are not over and safety surveillance studies have not been done - or rather are currently done during the mass vaccinations, without letting the participants know :)
