Months after recovering from mild cases of COVID-19, people still have immune cells in their body pumping out antibodies against the virus that causes COVID-19, according to a study from researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. Such cells could persist for a lifetime, churning out antibodies all the while.

The findings, published May 24 in the journal Nature, suggest that mild cases of COVID-19 leave those infected with lasting antibody protection and that repeated bouts of illness are likely to be uncommon.

Problem solved!

Sheesh.

I think the primary reason for recommending vaccinations for people who have recovered is concern that immunity will be significantly reduced with the variants.

The list of variants that current vaccinations do not offer solid protection for is below:

 you've said all along that mild cases gave no immunity.  now you say natural immunity won't protect from variants.   Family member work at ely lilly?
