"The researchers found durable immune responses in the majority of people studied. Antibodies against the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2, which the virus uses to get inside cells, were found in 98% of participants one month after symptom onset. As seen in previous studies, the number of antibodies ranged widely between individuals. But, promisingly, their levels remained fairly stable over time, declining only modestly at 6 to 8 months after infection."

You have reproduced the precise info related to my point.
This one statement says volumes.
Immunity from the \spike\ used to deliver the COVID payload.
The implication here is that, since the payload was delivered, one is not only immune from the spikes but also from the virus itself.
The vaxx only makes the recipient immune to the spikes; making the naturally immune (recovery-immunity) DOUBLY safe!
More work needs to be done, IMO, on why the NIH can \only\ determine the spike-phase of immunity in recovery-immunity cases.
I am still of the opinion that the COVID-19 virus (payload RNA that causes illness) has not yet been isolated.
Could this be because there is a patent, halting attempts to isolate it in the US?
