This is incorrect. They tested SARS patients over 17 years later and they still exhibited an immune response. As long as SARS-CoV-2 doesn’t mutate dramatically the body probably has long term immunity.
- SomeoneFromCA 6y agoThere was some response. Was it sufficient or not - it has never been verified. Attempts to vaccinate animals with SARS vaccines ended with terrible outcomes of ADE.
- remote_phone 6y agoYou’re talking about a vaccine, which was never successfully created for SARS. I’m talking about immune response from those that contracted SARS and recovered. You can’t compare a failed vaccine to actual survivors.
- SomeoneFromCA 6y agoWhat I am saying is: 1) No one tried to check the suffiency response by attempting to reinfect the person, because that would grossly unethical; unless there was such attempt, we cannot say anything about the reponse, it even might have been cross-reaction from common cold antibodies 2) Even if there was the response, there was high chance of ADE. It does not matter was that immunity acquired through vaccination or natural infection; ADE does not pick and choose; weak immunity causes worse response than no immunity. Having said that, SARS-CoV-2 does not seem to produce ADE.
