I am hesitant to immunize for many reasons mostly because I just got covid 3 months ago. But I am scared of the new variant. Are people who already had covid - and I'm not talking about people that had it a year ago - I mean people that just had covid - are you getting the shot?

No.
Go test for antibodies.
You should be fine.

If you test for antibodies, you'd have more information, and get better advice.

No, it's ppl who got the vaccine (whether one dose or two and being called "unvaccinated") who are catching and spreading it.

Nope. There is no reason to assume you'd get it at this point. There hasn't been enough confirmed reinfections.

Right now it's either the vaccinated or those who never had it getting.

Also the death rate is not higher with delta. There's nothing to worry about
