Cognitive dissonance occurs when a behavior (taking vax) goes against beliefs (cognition) which causes stress and creates motivation for people to change either their behaviors or beliefs to regain alignment. In this case since you cannot un-take the vax, it is motivating a change in beliefs. This week known phenomenon was validated experimental by Festinger and Carlsmith as far back as 1959.
“Forced Compliance Behavior When someone is forced to do (publicly) something they (privately) really don't want to do, dissonance is created between their cognition (I didn't want to do this) and their behavior (I did it).
Forced compliance occurs when an individual performs an action that is inconsistent with his or her beliefs. The behavior can't be changed, since it was already in the past, so dissonance will need to be reduced by re-evaluating their attitude to what they have done. This prediction has been tested experimentally”

I encourage anyone who fears Covid to get it.
It's not like it stops the catching, or spreading of it to others.
I've had covid twice. First time was "bad" from a cold/flu standpoint, for me, which means feeling icky and having a runny nose. Second time was less, because I have their crazy strange immune system that, you know, acts like an immune system and actually works, unlike, say, a profit campaign masked by a "vaccine" which is called that purely for marketing/political reasons, despite it not being an actual vaccine.
Oh well, don't care, not a me problem, if they attempt to "force" me to take it, I'll just bribe my way out of it like usual.
How long was it in between infections?
Let me count the months, 15 months? I guess? I pretty much wasn't going anywhere public anyway except to the market every couple of weeks, so there wasn't a ton of exposure.
The second time was way more muted than the first time. So some partial immunity had been built I suppose...or had been ending. Whichever.
