A mild case that confers natural immunity sounds good to me, but it's not possible to be sure it would be that mild. Agree, the unvaxxed would feel symptoms. Many Democrats think 50% of people with Covid get hospitalized (according to Bill Maher). So they live in perpetual terror as it is, even with no awareness of vaccine dangers.

Covid has also been made out to be a worse illness than it is. Most infected don’t even know they were infected (although this may be over represented among the young) and even someone like me, almost 60, had a very easy time of it, nothing to fear. I think the ones that suffered the most are more likely to post about it, and this may contribute to an unnecessary level of fear. All that said, if you are unhealthy you are right to be fearful, but not just of Covid but of every disease known to man.
For most people it’s mild, for a subset it’s not … depends how much virus you inhale, plus your own health status, vitamin D levels, etc., weight is the biggest factor with 78% of hospitalizations in the overweight and obese (CDC, Mar. 2021 report). Under 70, thin and healthy, very low chance of a bad outcome.
Just talked to a lady in mid to late 70's still working part-time. She had Covid after visiting kids and grands b4 vaccine out. Got covid which she said was pretty mild and had been a lot sicker with other ILI. then she had to get the jab for her job. Said she'd never been so sick. Lots like this never get reported in VAERS.
Recently I was catching up with a client who reported she had covid in spring 2021. I asked how she did. She said it was terrible. And then she said, “Well, it was like having strep throat.”
Everyone who has reported having had covid always says how terrible it was. I don’t doubt for some it really was bad. (I had swine flu in 2009 and it was the sickest I had ever been, and it took me a few months to feel fully recovered.) But I am starting to think that people are conditioned from all the fear mongering that contracting covid will take you to the brink of death. So even if you have a mild case, in your mind it was still terrible. Or maybe you need to tell yourself that to feel part of the club of the righteous?

I think if covid roughs you up badly, so will the vaccines.

Interesting thought. Hadn't thought of that, but I think you're right.
Here's the Gallup poll. Only 18% of the population correctly understood the risk of hospitalization... https://news.gallup.com/opinion/gallup/354938/adults-estimates-covid-hospitalization-risk.aspx
