- refurb 6y agoReally? All immunity is limited in time. That’s why we give booster shots.
- BjoernKW 6y agoUnfortunately and with COVID-19 in particular, many aspects seem to have become a matter of all-or-nothing propositions: "The pandemic will only ever be over once the disease has been eliminated and there are no COVID19-related deaths or long-term effects anymore." "Either the vaccine works in 100 per cent of cases or it doesn't work at all." "It's either complete immunity for life or no immunity at all."
- rusk 6y agoWell obviously. I’m saying there is little evidence for even this level of immunity. You can get the disease, recover, and then catch it again. There are other factors such as frequency of exposure and viral load. It’s not like the flu where you catch it and you develop a resistance.
