Monitor to see how many people in the test (vaccinated) group develop symptoms vs. those in the placebo or unvaccinated group. https://www.who.int/influenza_vaccines_plan/resources/Session4_VEfficacy_VEffectiveness.PDF
Well... I trust Pfizer and Moderna more than I trust a virus from China.
Problem is, cold type viruses in general do not develop good long lasting natural immunity, precisely because they usually are not a serious threat to a healthy person. See my post 20 and:
https://www.livescience.com/why-lifelong-immunity.html
At present we have a big question mark.
Considering that are over 200 viruses that cause the common cold, getting immunity to a few likely won’t help much.

Good point. Even if all coronaviruses confer “some” immunity to COVID-19 (seems like it would not be all of them), those coronaviruses probably make up, what, maybe 10% of all cold(s) cases?
I think the year long lockdown has not been good for people’s immune systems.
Period.
But then this was never about public health.
Even past infections by other forms of common cold coronaviruses have been found to protect from SARS-CoV-2.
Maybe this is why I haven’t got Corona while still living my normal go everywhere life, not disinfecting, etc. I get at least 3 really bad colds every year. If someone walks by me with a cold I’ll get it.
Some people will develop antibodies, but if one’s immune system is really tuned up, that immune system will beat the pathogen before antibodies are created, is my understanding.
Take vitamins A, Bcomplex, C, D3 plus K2-mk7, iodine, zinc, quercetin. Keep a supply of Lysine on hand.
