Your COVID-19 immunity could last 'possibly a lifetime'

Two new studies suggest COVID-19 immunity following infection could last a year, or "possibly a lifetime, improving over time especially following vaccination" The New York Times reported on Wednesday, hopefully allaying "lingering fears that protection against the virus will be short-lived."

When taken together, the studies suggest most (but not all) vaccinated individuals who were previously infected with COVID-19 "will not need boosters," wrote the Times. Those who were vaccinated without having previously contracted the virus will likely need the extra dose. Experts expect immunity in these individuals to "play out very differently," as "immune memory" may look different following vaccination compared to natural infection.

"The papers are consistent with the growing body of literature that suggests that immunity elicited by infection and vaccination for SARS-CoV-2 appears to be long-lived," said Scott Hensley, an immunologist not involved in the studies. Dr. Michel Nussenzweig, a researcher for one of the studies, added he expects antibodies in those who were previously infected and later vaccinated to "last for a long time."

Results, however, also underscore the idea that previous infection is not enough to protect individuals long-term on its own — even those who have recovered should be vaccinated, wrote the Times.
good news for me, i'm as certain as i can be without having been tested at the time that a co-worker infected several of us last year. i'm pretty sure i had it for a while, but was asymptomatic, and i'm going in for my second dose tomorrow.

If the second go round kicks ya like a mule, then there's a good chance you've had covid before, as your body will rapidly mount a very robust immune response. I do believe though that the younger you are and the stronger your immune system, the more intense the response will be.

The virus could still mutate to evade the antibodies. It has changed the spike protein in some varients and it is copies of the spike protein that the antibodies look for.

Happy thoughts.

This virus apparently has a limited mutagenic potential, according to the experts and other vaccines are in development that will entrap it, in evolutionary terms by targeting multiple vulnerabilities in it's genome. Apparently the mRNA and adenovirus vaccines approved can deal with the variants that have arisen, but are a bit less effective against the Indian variant. Once we get ahead of this particular virus, I think there will be no looking back and future versions of the vaccine will deal with all coronaviruses, even the ones that cause some common colds.

i'm just hoping that this teaches world leaders that they need to get better programs in place for the next thing that comes along. this was relatively mild compared to most of the other epidemic diseases we've dealt with in the past, and it just about brought the world to its knees and fucked everyone but a select few financially.

From here on out pandemic response will get military level priority and funding, not just in America either. We are real good at preparing for the last war! :lol:

That is one line of thought. But the virus has manny more humans to mutate in and it does not seem to be running out of steam yet.

Viral video shows sobbing dad begging his daughter not to get vaccinated or she'll die

Anti-vax Kentucky father is seen crying to his daughter on social media, begging her not to get the vaccine.

A TikTok user who goes by the name of Brianna, or appaloosauce, was offered $2,000 from her father who believes the side effects of getting vaccinated will kill her, Rawstory reported.
"It is not a vaccine," he says. "It is a human trial, it is genetic therapy. It's not a vaccine, it doesn't fall under the category of a vaccine. It's not FDA approved."
"Why are you trying to buy me off?" Brianna asked her father.
"Because I love you, why do you think I want to buy you off?" the father said. "I know you don't [want money], but I don't know what else to do."
Brianna, engaging with her desperate father, called out that he did not give her two other siblings a buyout.
"Don't you think I know that?" he says, sobbing. "What, do you think I'm f*cking crazy? Your mother got it -- why do you think I'm f*cking crazy. My family is gone! My family is gone! By the end of this flu season most of you will be dead! What the f*ck do you expect me to be?"
In a second uploaded video, Brianna told her viewers that she received support after her initial video went viral.
She ended up getting the vaccine, but she did not tell her father. It’s unclear which vaccine she got, but three have received emergency authorization from the Food and Drug Administration. None are a form of genetic therapy.

I am not even going to watch it, I know there is enough stupidity out there.

“No Dad I didn’t get the shot”.....”I’ll take an E-transfer thanks” ..... “love you too, you nutty old fool” ;).

A German research team has put forward a potential solution to prevent the rare, serious blood clots caused by the AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccines, but other scientists warn it's too early to draw conclusions about the mechanism behind the potentially deadly condition.
