[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They have not proven immunity after recovering.[b] Why would you want to go through this if it doesn't prevent future infection?[/b][/quote]

Now you’re just making sh!t up. [/quote]

Two family members of a doctor friend I know who had it tested positive at the time but were asymptomatic, and now two months later have titres showing almost no antibodies. If you don't have a serious infection you may have been exposed but may not be immune to getting it again. This is what they are trying to figure out with all the scientific studies being done now (and over the summer). Maybe wait until we learn more before lowering your guard. [/quote]

To put it another way -- the way we get vaccines, if you have paid attention to how your kids get them, is sometimes a series of shots over a two or three years because one exposure does not confer immunity. Or at least does not provide complete immunity -- it's like 50%, then 80%, then 98% (in theory) by the time you get the last shot.

On the flip side, multiple exposures to a pathogen at once, especially if it is contagious like COVID, can increase your chance not just of getting it but of the severity of symptoms. [/quote]
