Huh? Where does this come from? Where was the underlying data or mechanism (before the pandemic hit) that getting COVID (unlike most any other virus we've seen) would not result in durable immunity?
- TechBro8615 4y agoThe person you asked is probably going to reply with a comment about the frequency of mutations being so high that no two variants are the same and so there would be no immunity between them, in the same way you can get the flu twice. The problem with this argument is that it applies equally to a vaccine that targets a single variant of the disease (never mind one that isn't even circulating anymore).

- bluGill 4y agoThere was plenty of evidence before that not all vaccines result in durable immunity, and nobody is really sure why.
