@jtkent28 No, those who have both full vaccination, and survived an infection, have the strongest most, broadest, most lasting immunity. I've heard several virologists and immunologists refer to it as super immunity.

@jamesstewart1916 No childhood vaccine prevents infection, or sterilizing immunity. All of them only prevent severe infection, just like the Covid vaccines do.

Boosters might be needed because the pandemic continues, and unvaccinated idiots allow the virus to continue to mutate. If everyone got vaccinated, we wouldn't need boosters.

@paigeb1318 There is no ADE associated with the Covid vaccines. This usually only occurs when a pathogen has multiple serotypes, which is not the case here.

@mikegraham2929 Hg is only used to prevent bacterial contamination in multiuse vaccine vials. No US pediatrician uses multiuse vials. Stop spreading lies.

Like Pravda, veritas is nothing but lies.

@bluelagoon1875 Actually, animal models show neurological damage is a common result of a Covid-19 infection. Stay on top of the scientific literature.

I hope the neurological symptoms go away with your next booster. I had Covid-19 in early February 2020, which left me with brain fog, and a nasty cough. The vaccines cleared up the neurological problems (or maybe it was the glutamine I took), but the cough remains, if less intense.

What is a "D cell response"? Never heard of it when I took immunology, or did research in comparative immunology.

@decukoppe3615 You have to get four polio shots, because there are four polio serotypes. duh

@adellis24 What did he say that is ignorant? Children do have to get several boosters for most vaccines. We have deaths from influenza each year, because idiots won't get vaccinated. Many Americans have refused to get vaccinated, and thus prolong the pandemic "at the expense of one anther", for no valid reason. If you don't like lockdowns and masks, encourage everyone you know to get vaccinated.

@joeboyko8013 Polio and smallpox (which was wiped out by vaccination) produce a viremia. That means they also evoke a much stronger immune response. Respiratory viruses don't evoke as strong a response, because they don't produce a viremia. I'm sure you won't understand what I've written, due to total ignorance of the way viruses and the immune system interact.

@muddywater4505 Influenza vaccines (ie flu shots) are vaccines.

@Peter_S_ Maybe. Immunity to respiratory viruses seldom lasts more than two years. All the unvaccinated are giving rise to new variants, which may evade immunity from vaccination and previous infection. So, we'd then need updated boosters, with the new epitopes.

@alstroemeria227again4 I had Covid-19 in early February 2020. I'd take two or three boosters, a year, to never go through that again. I know I had lung damage, because two years later, I still have a cough. Thank goodness, the vaccines cleared up the brain fog I was left with.

@sebcw1204 It depends on what you use as a correlate of protection. IgG in the circulation always contracts after a few months, otherwise our blood would be a sludge of immunoglobulins. And sure, there is some humoral immunity evasion, with all the variants arising in the unvaccinated. But, T cell epitopes are highly conserved, due to the differences in HLA types in the population. And, as Peter S mentions, due to somatic hypermutation, the B cells produce a lot of variation in IgG and IgA.

@ThePhilosophicalOne Do you think it wouldn't have risen, like every year in the past, if we hadn't had this pandemic? 5,908,709 people have died from Covid.
