“It will just become an annual COVID-19 shot just like you get your flu shot every year.”
Certain.
And they will try to target the particular variation annually.
“But I’ve never heard of permanent immunity to anything. “
Polio.
And a few others.
“Can the same thing be said about covid-19?
If it continues to mutate, what good is any vaccine?”
The flu are pre-existing or new viruses that may have come via birds etc...
They’ve had a long time to mutate to immunologically distinct viruses. They’re in the population already all the time. Different years, different ones will become more pronounced. It’s random. The flu shot is educated guess on which ones will be causing the flu that season and the shot will be for those most likely flu viruses.
SARS-CoV-2 just moved to human hasn’t yet had time to mutate much.
If the antigenic region a vaccine was targeted to were incredibly narrow, perhaps mutations in the time frame if this virus could cause the vaccine to not recognize the virus with new mutations, but a vaccine will be broader.
The antibodies they test and measure are NOT the only immune defenses we have. There are many other ways wemfight this virus. Especially youngsters.
Many people fight it off with no antibodies showing up. Seems many people are naturally Immune. They actually just have other defenses that work well.

Freepers hate this topic, will call you a fear monger.
MSM BS detected.
- Using a question mark at the end of a headline.
- Using qualifiers like might, may, could.
It seems there had been tests on just animals only before SARS died out on it’s own:
“Vaccine studies for SARS-CoV-1 were started and tested in animal models. An inactivated whole virus was used in ferrets, nonhuman primates and mice. All of the vaccines resulted in protective immunity, but there were complications; the vaccines resulted in an immune disease in animals. No human studies were done, nor were the vaccine studies taken further because the virus disappeared. Many factors were involved in the end of SARS-CoV-1, perhaps including summer weather, and certainly strict quarantine of all those who had contact with infected individuals, but we don’t really know why the epidemic ended”

This is a SARS virus, SARS 2, Covid is the illness it causes. CO Viral Infectious Disease.
Yeah, I dunno what, if anything, can be learned/borrowed from it specifically to apply toward anything else.
They’re spewing out that cases are now counted by the ONSET of SYMPTOMS. Furthermore, deaths are recorded when Covid is a CONTRIBUTING factor.
Except that number is probably inflated by 33 - 40%
Not by a significant margin
If the grubermint quit paying for it the Wuhan scam would be over in a day.
There are other statistics than the CDC. The "mangling" has no effect on the trends, which went from decreasing to increasing. Statistics ultimately derive from the county level, which the CDC has no control over. I'm sure there are a few instances of the sort you describe, but not enough to matter.
All I need to read are the dates on the axes. DoughtyOne's statistics are better. Try comparing the two before "spewing".
I consider the margin "significant". What matters is the change in direction of trends....from decreasing to increasing.
well, you are welcome to take it however you want, however statistically, there is not a significant increase as the trend lines on a 7 day rolling average are flat, especially with the climbing number of cases. I am not making an emotional argument, I am merely doing the math.
It’s not true.
What’s true is that about 50% of people have brisk cell mediated immunity to SARS CoV 2. Antibodies have little or nothing to do with COVID immunity and are not the correct measure of immunity or resistance.
The peak infection percentage of any population anywhere is around 20%
However, of that 20%, a significant number of people become critically ill and represent a huge drain on hospitals - 600 doctors and nurses in the US have died since February.
