So you have some evidence to the contrary?

  Sure, here's hopefully a helpful summary but you can search for your own primary sources. https://www.nih.gov/news-events/nih-research-matters/lasting-immunity-found-after-recovery-covid-19 https://www.nih.gov/news-events/nih-research-matters/lasting... > Virus-specific B cells increased over time. People had more memory B cells six months after symptom onset than at one month afterwards. Although the number of these cells appeared to reach a plateau after a few months, levels didn’t decline over the period studied. Take the above snippet for example. From this you could make the statement "we don't have evidence for natural immunity lasting beyond 8 months" But that is explicitly a limit coming from the length of study.

    >"we don't have evidence for natural immunity lasting beyond 8 months" Better get a booster then.

      I fear you missed my point.

        I fear you've avoided mine. There are verifiable reinfections. Covid-19 is probably going to celebrate it's 3rd birthday in a few weeks maybe even a few days from now and Omicron has reinfecting for the entire year those that have had other Covid variants before. I'm going to demonize the person that thinks they don't need a vaccine.

          Like I said, define immunity, I presumed protection from severe disease or death, for which prior infection hold quite well. Mild symptomatic infection is not generally avoidable vaccinated or otherwise. > I'm going to demonize the person that thinks they don't need a vaccine. Not sure what that's doing here.
