I prefer strengthening my immune systemAm reading of re-infections in as little as a couple of months after recovery. They say the short duration of protection speak poorly of the ability of a vaccine to have the effect of getting it under total control. Speaks badly for herd immunity, also. Have read where several labs are changing from putting money into vaccine research, in favor of a treatment that works to minimize the severity or most deadly effects. LabCorp said I have the antibodies. My own doctor warned me I could still possibly get re-infected. I mask, distance, limit exposure to crowds, use sanitizer in my car and wash hands as soon as I get home. There is a possibility we have reached a significant new paradigm, the Human Race plus Covid-19. I will take my shot at trying to prevent becoming infected or infecting others. Seems like a personal and community responsible attitude to me.What gave you the idea they could not be re-infected? That is not what is shown in the news in any country."I recently recovered from Covid-19. Does that mean I can’t get it again?Can You Catch Covid-19 Twice?
Most scientists say patients gain some immunity to the virus after the first infection. Here is the latest on what we know, and don’t know, about the possibility of becoming sick with the virus more than once.www.wsj.com
Most scientists say that people who have had Covid-19 gain some immunity to the virus that causes it. What they don’t know is whether that protection lasts a few months, a few years or a lifetime."
So there isn't any doubt people gain immunity to the Covid virus once infected. What isn't so certain, due to
individual differences, is how complete that immunity is.
