People keep parroting that article. "Cellular immunity" mentioned in it may be not enough at all to prevent reinfection. Unless there is a direct rechallenge with the SARS-1 virus someone who already had it in 2003, there is no way to make such a strong statement. Good luck finding volunteers.
- Wintamute 6y agoIt's amusing how you put "cellular immunity" in scare quotes. It's not a new or novel concept, but an extremely well understood mechanism that has been taught to immunology first years for decades. That a coronavirus should exhibit a cellular immune response should be the baseline assumption, rather than the inverse.
