Most people who recover from COVID-19 could have immunity that lasts at least a year or even longer — and may not need a booster shot after being vaccinated, as pair of new studies suggest.
The first study, published Monday in the journal Nature, found most people who were infected with the virus about a year earlier had immunological memory of the disease in their bone marrow, suggesting they’re still able to produce antibodies.
And another report, which was published on the pre-print server BioRxic, found that these cells — called “memory B” — were robust for at least 12 months after infection.

Icahn School of Medicine Prof: “the findings . . . suggest that [COVID] infection and the development of antibody response provides protection similar to or even better than current used SARS COV-2 vaccines.” https://t.co/S3LvDDaUqy— Senator Rand Paul (@RandPaul) May 27, 2021
And then...maybe not. They don’t even have an accurate test for the virus, so how the hell do they know how long the vaccine lasts?
Always a ‘new study shows’ that the previous studies were wrong so here’s a new study that will be shown to be wrong when a new study comes along. Study.
It doesn’t matter what studies are say, I want to know what Dr. Fauci, the nation’s leading expert on epidemiology and infectious diseases, has to say.
This is for NATURAL immunity. Not a vaccine.
Herd immunity. The old-fashioned way.
Whatever he says, it will change tomorrow. The guy suffers from Diarrhea of the Mouth Disease.
So what is it? Days? Months? Years? I guess we’ll just have to wait and see. Everyone lock things down for several years to flatten the curve!
People who have had the virus are better immune than those who are fully vaccinated yet doctors for whatever reason told people who already had covid to get vaccinated. I know a few people who had mild to moderate covid who have already been fully vaccinated makes no sense
Natural immunity has lasted 8 months for me. And I have been exposed once for absolute sure one month ago.
A few months.
6 months.
A year.
Many years.
All I know is “follow the science” because science is certitude and there is no denying science.
Well, he will say that’s good news, no need for your 6 month booster until the next study says you need monthly boosters.
Wife went to work in a nursing home ten years ago and brought home every cold and flu imaginable. We were sick a lot and then five years ago we quit getting sick. That’s five years of immunity to most any flu or cold(coronavirus). Yeah, I’d say immunity lasts quite a while.
OMG! STOP PROJECTING YOUR ‘STUDIES’. Money wasted again.
Let’s hope the “vaccine’s” side effects don’t last just as long.
I could have had the virus and never known it. Some of the symptoms are the same that I experience with my chronic illnesses. I live alone, and have been social distancing since I retired in 2003. The only thing I gave up with the lockdown is meeting my friends once a month at the local Oneida Indian casino. It was a year in March that I've been there, and I won't go back because they require you to wear a mask, even if you're vaccinated. The main reason I enjoyed meeting them was to enjoy the buffet they offered. Since buffets will probably never return, that's even more of a reason for me to never go back. I also look at the $100 I save every month by not going. I only took $80-100 with me each month. When it was gone, I came home.
I was really really sick with “bronchitis” a year ago in March when COVID was first starting. At the time you didn’t get tested if you didn’t have a fever. Since most COVID infections seem to cause a really low fever and I didn’t have a thermometer, I could have had it.
My doctor treated it with two prescription cough meds, an inhaler, a z-pack, famotidine, and prednisone. She didn’t want me to come in if I could help it and she didn’t want me to go to a walk-in clinic. The meds helped but I was sick for about a month.
So, I could have had it...or not. No way to tell now.
So it has been massively irresponsible to push vaccines and whatever risk they come with, however big or small, on people without first testing them for antibodies, to see if they have been infected already and therefore already have immunity. It isn’t as if people haven’t been saying this all along... In fact, in the push to vaccinate, prior antibody testing has been actively discouraged.
I'm glad you got over your bronchitis.
My neighbor downstairs was diagnosed with COPD. I'm almost 74. She's older than me, and has always been active. I've never smoked...neither has she. It took them a long time to diagnose her problem, and finally get her to the point where she wasn't having to go to the emergency room because she couldn't breathe. She still goes out for walks, weather permitting. She doesn't let her illness keep her down.
The son of a friend of mine worked with a guy who was experiencing Covid symptoms. Both men were tested three times, over a period of time, before both finally tested positive. By the time my friend's son got his positive test result back, it had been so long that the doctor told him he wasn't infectious any more. He's married with two young sons. The whole family (my friends, their three sons, and all their kids) went on vacation together, stayed in a house in Delaware this past summer, and nobody got Covid.
