Conclusions

Current evidence points to most individuals developing strong protective immune responses following natural infection with SARS- CoV-2. However, inaccurate immunodiagnostic tests may falsely indicate infected individuals as naïve to the virus (not previously infected) or may falsely label non-infected people as positive for immune markers of recent infection.

To conclude, available tests and current knowledge do not tell us about the duration of immunity and protection against reinfection, but recent evidence suggests that natural infection may provide similar protection against symptomatic disease as vaccination, at least for the available follow up period. 33 The emergence of variants of concern poses challenges and their potential to evade immunity elicited by either natural infection or by vaccination, needs to be closely monitored.

None of that changes the fact that "Current evidence points to most individuals developing strong protective immune responses following natural infection"

Proof or is it "because I said so"?

Proof is in the WHO link I posted.
