"After people recover from infection with a virus, the immune system retains a memory of it. Immune cells and proteins that circulate in the body can recognize and kill the pathogen if it’s encountered again, protecting against disease and reducing illness severity."
Holy shit.. basic immunology. Who would have thunk it...
Remembering the scare last year around end of summer, where the warnings were goin out that reinfection is a real possibility, I just searched "Can you get Covid again if you've had it and recovered" I wanted to compare what this NIH report says today against what was being said back then
I found articles ranging from April trough December, from sources ranging from the completely corrupt CDC and, to WEBMD, to Healthline, to sources I kind of trust like Forbes and Wall Street Journal.
The comparisons were exactly what I expected. Both the old articles and the new NIH report vary the language, but essentially the same information:
NIH from today; "...Scattered reports of reinfection with SARS-CoV-2 have raised concerns that the immune response to the virus might not be durable."
Sciencemag.org from 11/18: "...Scientists are keenly interested in cases like hers, which are still rare but on the rise. Reinfections hint that immunity against COVID-19 may be fragile and wane relatively quickly..."
US NEWS and World Report from 4/8: "...This could mean that because the individual had a very mild case, they might not create enough antibodies to stave off reinfection in the future."
From CDC 10/27: "...Cases of reinfection with COVID-19 have been reported, but remain rare."
Etc, Etc, Etc....
The biggest difference now is the spin written into the reports. Before the election we were told essentially, "Basic immunology says that once infected, you shouldn't be in danger of reinfection, but there are reports that suggest we need more study because this could be a more deadly disease than we thought..." Or, "In Trump's America, be afraid..."
In the NIH report you just shared, they say, "...Scattered reports of reinfection with SARS-CoV-2 have raised concerns that the immune response to the virus might not be durable, but our latest research says that the antibodies create by the human immune system have lasting durability in 98% of all patients studied..."
Or, in "Biden's America, don't be afraid. Joe and his people are on this and it's on the way out."

Yup, and there have multiple science journals talking about t/b cell immunity since early after the “pandemic” started. This has been well known.
