re: So where do natural antibodies fit into the current “vaccinate or else” movement?

I'm not sure they are "stronger" or if that even matters. Are they sufficient to protect you from futureinfections and/or serious complications?
Anybody member going to visit a friend with Chicken Pox as a kid? I member. Your mom took your picture to document you had already had it for the school nurse.
That practice was very effective at limiting the severity of cases which increase with age at the time of infection.
Anyone know of an infectious disease that presents with more severe symptoms with aging?

How many known cases of re infection after having Covid? I don’t know the exact answer but at one time, several months into the pandemic, there were less than 5 confirmed cases worldwide.
How many vaccinated people have contracted Covid? I don’t know the exact answer, but we have 7 people from one baseball team that have tested positive.

Are you insinuating natural antibodies are not a thing? How do you think vaccines work?
I am insinuating some folks believe vaccines are nonsense and that natural antibodies are more effective than vaccines.

A coworker and her husband both lost their antibodies within 5 months of getting COVID. Anecdotal of course
Still have long term T cell response.

Part of my question was - does natural immunity last forever, and if so - this seems to be different from vaccines given we're told boosters will be required every 6-12 months.
In case it wasn't clear yet ... the answer is no

People who get mildly sick Mount a mild antibody response.
Antibodies are antibodies. Unless they are monoclonal antibodies given as medication to fight the virus like regeneron or a number of others.
If you're body makes an antibody, it is a natural antibody. The body can't tell if you got it from the virus or from a vaccine.
Now the immune response your body mounts is based on how sick you are.
This if you get a mild illness, your response will be mild.
Thus people who get sick from the virus have all different levels of response because they got all different levels of viral load and sick.
The vaccine gets your body to make a strong antibody response. This leaves you more likely to fight it off if exposed to the virus again.
People who got it tend to be immune to it, but people who got a very mild illness would benefit from the vaccine.
Those are the facts my friend. This getting the virus is better than getting the vaccine part is just dumb.
An antibody is an antibody made by the body.
Yes, but antibodies aren’t monoclonal, they are raised to MULTIPLE epitopes on the surface of the virus, or the vaccine. And since the virus is FAR more complex than the vaccine, the group of antibodies raised to a virus is MUCH BETTER at killing virus than the group of antibodies raised to the vaccine.

Does your company test for measles antibodies? I ask, because you and your coworker have been vaccinated for measles, but neither of you have measles antibodies.
You and your coworker work for a company that doesn’t understand the basics of immunology.
