Why are the boosted dying from Covid at a rate far higher than the unjabbed?

The mRNA vaccine cause a very specific protean to be produced in the body that stimulates an immune response to that very specific part of Covid that the scientists selected to represent the virus.

A "natural" infection of Covid presents the body with the entire virus structure which not only stimulates an immune response to many parts of the Covid, but it also makes the patent very sick.

It's no surprise that the immune response to a whole virus (broken into pieces by the white cells) is stronger than the response by the selected fragments picked by the scientists. Are careful as the selection was made, this is after all, their first rodeo and they were making informed guesses as to what would make the best response to the virus, without creating a response to a benign protean that would otherwise cause some side effect like peanut allergies or something. They played it safe.

The difference is the safe approach of the vaccine was less strong, but the patient doesn't get sick. The "natural" infection can also lead to long-term covid when it doesn't lead to hospitalization and death. You can't get the "natural" immunity without getting the whole package of covid and it's effects on lungs and sinus and the rest of the body.

The very targeted approach has the limitation that only a small mutation by the virus can make that specific vaccination ineffective. That's why they need the boosters.
