Except for the part where you had to get sick for the first time, risking death and long-covid.
I also remember talks that the previous infection needs to be a serious one - asymptomatic case will not give strong enough immunity. But I'm not sure if that got confirmed.
- jaywalk 5y agoWell, a very large number of people got infected before they were even eligible to be vaccinated. So it is what it is. I have also heard that the severity of infection could determine the strength of immunity, but the studies done since then haven't found that to be the case. It may become more clear on a longer timeframe, but as of now who knows.
