And an ample amount of evidence also shows that vaxxed people who have recovered from covid have even stronger and more lasting immunity. If you haven't had covid, you're better protected with the vaccine. If you have had covid, you're better protected with the vaccine. It's not rocket science.

I haven't read any evidence of the first (got vaxxed then got covid) but it would make sense.  The evidence regarding the latter (got covid, then got a vaccine later) doesnt show that immunity is much stronger than if you got covid, recovered, and then didnt get the vaccine later.  Evidence says there is a benefit but isn't much.

And nothing you said addresses the main crux which is that unvaxxed people who have recovered from covid have far stronger immunity than vaxxed that never had it.  And the NFL policy, which is outdated, severely punishes the former and not the latter.  It makes no sense.  No player that recovered from covid, vaxxed or not, should be treated differently than a vaccinated player.
