"I look at it in the same way that people were advised to keep smoking because it was good for the throat"
No, it's more like the people who continued smoking after it was announced smoking caused lung cancer, claiming there was nothing wrong with having a smoke

To be fair, once you’re infected, rejecting the vaccine is sane.
It’s rejecting it beforehand that’s questionable.

Is it?
I mean it's a comparatively more logically defensible position, sure. But reinfection is possible, and the vaccine will have a booster effect on the immune system.
I'd have thought that the more natural position would be to think "That was shit, how do I avoid having that again?"

As I read the article, he’s still ill with the virus.
The vaccine isn’t going to do anything useful at that point.
Later, yes, after he’s recovered, plus some amount of waiting, vaccination would be rational again.
