A new study appears to overturn previous beliefs about acquired immunity to the SARS-CoV-2 virus:
How long might immunity to the coronavirus last? Years, maybe even decades, according to a new study - the most hopeful answer yet to a question that has shadowed plans for widespread vaccination.
Eight months after infection, most people who have recovered still have enough immune cells to fend off the virus and prevent illness, the new data shows. A slow rate of decline in the short term suggests, happily, that these cells may persist in the body for a very, very long time to come.
The research, published online, has not been peer-reviewed nor published in a scientific journal. But it is the most comprehensive and long-ranging study of immune memory to the coronavirus to date.
If this is correct and if the death rate is as low as some think, why are we continuing to jump through hoops to allegedly stop the spread of COVID-19?
Note well the report implies that vaccination will still be required without offering ANY proof.
