re: Not Enough Research of the Protection Levels of Natural Immunity of Infection

Lafayette general posted a psa from one of their doctors saying that the problem with natural infection is that everyone receives a different amount of antibodies based on the severity of the infection. If you had a very minor infection over a year ago, chances are that your immunity isn’t that great. I had a cousin who had Covid about 13 months ago and it was super mild (just lost taste and smell and a very low fever) she got an antibody test before going back to college last August and don’t have any antibodies. However, I bet someone who had a pretty rough go of it with Covid probably had antibodies that lasted a lot longer.

This is a good point with regard to our ability to adequately compare both populations. We can compare vaccinated persons because they have nearly identical dosage. Natural immunity folks have experienced a much wider range of viral load. I would think their immune response also varies greatly.
