Of course people without a functioning immune system can get reinfected. But those aren't the kind of reinfections that are relevant when we have to consider policy/mitigation. And with close to a billion people having been infected and there being only a handful of cases of reinfection it's pretty obvious that covid immunity is strong and long-lasting.
