The important part of your quote: "Meanwhile, BNT162b2-induced protection against hospitalization and death appears to persist with hardly any waning for at least six months following the second dose."
The vaccine reducing Covid symptoms to that of the common cold is a perfectly fine outcome IMO.

- thehappypm 5y agoAll viruses are like this. The first time a new mechanism originates, it decimates the population because nobody's immune systems have any protection of any kind whatsoever. That's how you get a New York scenario -- everyone exposed gets infected, very few people have natural immunity. Hospitals explode. Fast forward 2 years. Many many people have had Covid and many many people have been immunized. Even if you get exposed a year later, the immune system has at least some idea of how to handle it. You get sick, but your immune system can fight it off. For a little while your immune system will completely annihilate any virus that it encounters, but after a while it chills out.
