> The only argument I can think of against it is: Certain vaccine skeptic people might be incentivized to catch the virus on purpose.
I think that's a pretty important argument against allowing natural immunity in lieu of vaccination. A lot of people will go and deliberately infect themselves. Some of them will die. They will spread it to others. Many will tie up ICU beds, doctors, nurses and other hospital resources, causing tons of first- and second-order harm.
