I think you added the links in an edit? The Science cite shows something that's very different than what people might take from your comment. Briefly, prior infection plus one mRNA dose induces a very good immune response, much better than a single dose without prior infection. It does not compare two mRNA doses against prior infection. I believe the cite I provided does support the idea that coronaviruses vary, in particular that HCoV-229E exhibits continuous genetic drift. But here's an excellent paper that goes into a lot more detail on that: https://journals.plos.org/plospathogens/article?id=10.1371/journal.ppat.1009453 https://journals.plos.org/plospathogens/article?id=10.1371/j...

The idea that two mRNA dose immunity is superior on average to those recovered with natural immunity is absurd. I haven’t reviewed your sources yet, but if you have such a source then you are cherry picking among numerous other results that disagree. Antibody levels can be lower but effective protection against re-infection is very high because memory cells can generate antibodies on demand. Natural antibodies target numerous areas of the virus and are more resilient to variants. Additionally recovered individuals who receive an mRNA dose have the highest levels of measured antibodies. Why are you trying to arguing something that is clearly false? Do you have a political objective of some sort?
