I don't think you can state that the vaccines provide a stronger immune response. There is a lot of evidence to the contrary, including this OP. They may provide a stronger single-antibody response as measured at some point in time, but there's no evidence that that results in "better" immunity.

To measure immunity you need to see who gets re-infected and how seriously. Of what I've seen, those studies either show no difference or an advantage for natural immunity.

I don't think the information that natural immunity might be better, is all that helpful. But the growing evidence that it is (at least) as good, is very relevant, since it means vaccines can be prioritized to those who have not yet had Covid-19.

And people who have had it, should certainly not be discriminated against in any way.
