RE: TBD

A report from a study tells us 10 weeks. See here:

Then what? Another booster?

As for natural immunity, studies show that on average it lasts for years ( and counting ). See here:

Studies from the Cleveland Clinic and several in Israel tell us the natural immunity is superior compared to those of any vaccine. Here’s one for instance:

“dropped by up to 25% within 10 weeks”

So it says a particular type of vaccine was quite effective, and became somewhat less effective over some period of time, in the case of its third booster, against a particular strain (omicron) in a particular place and time (while disease rates and immunity levels constantly vary).

Every form of immunity has varying effectiveness and duration curves, against these many variables - natural immunity as well.

Natural immunity seems to be significantly better, but the vaccines are significantly effective, especially in protecting against severe illness and death.
