Study finds evidence of lasting immunity after mild or asymptomatic COVID-19 infection

New research involving scientists from Queen Mary University of London has found evidence of protective immunity in people up to four months after mild or asymptomatic COVID-19.

The study, published today in Science Immunology, analyzed antibody and T cell responses in 136 London healthcare workers who had mild or asymptomatic COVID-19 infection dating back to March 2020.

The team, including researchers from Queen Mary, Imperial College London and University College London, found that 89 percent of healthcare workers analyzed carried neutralizing antibodies 16-18 weeks after infection.

The researchers found most also had T cells capable of recognizing multiple different parts of the virus, however the two responses did not always persist in harmony, with some individuals showing T cell immunity but no evidence of antibodies, and vice versa.
...
Mr Joseph Gibbons, a Postdoctoral Research Assistant at Queen Mary, said: "Our study of SARS-CoV-2 infection in healthcare workers from London hospitals reveals that four months after infection, around 90 percent of individuals have antibodies that block the virus. Even more encouragingly, in 66 percent of healthcare workers we see levels of these protective antibodies are high and that this robust antibody response is complemented by T cells which we see reacting to various parts of the virus."

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

If this is accurate, it brings up an interesting issue.  Can the vax plan be  logistically be looped to to keep a population vaccinated over say 3 or 4 cycles? Or until near eradication.

May need to increase position in PFE.

Putting SARS-CoV-2 in perspective, a year ago the world outside of China would not learn of its existence as a "thing" for another 4 days. The virus' DNA sequence would not become known until 2 weeks later, and China would not stop lying about there being no evidence of human-human transmission for another 24 days. What the world knows or has significant reason to believe is correct about the virus is necessarily limited - lack of experience.

* Other than that the earliest people who have recovered and volunteered to be tested and the people vaccinated in the earliest vaccine tests still have significant antibody and T-cell levels, how long immunity from recovery and from vaccination will last is unknown.

* Because of the risk-benefit choices of FDA-like government agencies, those making the risk-benefit choice to be vaccinated cannot know what side effects there might be 5 or 10 or 30 years out. There is no risk-free choice available. Not assuming the risks of a vaccine with less than a year of testing assumes the risks of getting Covid and all its possible outcomes (many that are short of death force medium or long-term life changes!).

The bottom line here ...is they don't know what this virus does. I had a doctor admit it.

No, I don't believe they know and they are going to tell the population what they want them to believe in order to control them.

Right now, the vaccine is available in my area, free of charge to those 65 and older -- well...that leaves me out thankfully.

I have to partly disagree. I think it would be more accurate to say that much is known but probably much is not yet known.
