I don't necessary disagree with this. Typically we've treated diseases where you develop immunity from further infection this way.

I had Chicken Pox as a child so never received the vaccine for it. There is a small chance (just like with COVID-19) that you can have a secondary Chicken Pox infection with or without the vaccine, but it is relatively rare.

COVID does seem to have a much more likely secondary infection (I personally know two persons that had COVID twice, and one that had a mild case even though vaccinated).

also worth remembering that childhood chickenpox also gives you significantly higher chance of shingles in later life
