Those antibodies are only going to protect you against the strain of Covid you had. If you want protection from delta or any other strain, you need a vaccine.


+1. Friend of mine has now had covid twice. Second time around she had worse symptoms.


Sure.

All I know is, my antibodies are still present, 9 months later. My fully vaccinated aunt no longer has any antibodies. People say the vaccine is better but something isn’t adding up.


Antibodies aren't the only measure of immunity. T cells are a thing.


Awesome. So not only do I have antibodies from my infection. I also have T cells.


You know that people fully vaccinated against measles mount an effective immune response even if antibody levels are zero, right, and that makes sense to you, right?
