Prob true but if it can escape vaccines which some strains have shown some ability to do, then it can escape your immunity.
Can, but it's more hit or miss with natural immunity.
They seem confident the mRNA vaccines will be pretty broadly effective and easy to tweak for new strains. That's something at least (I mean if I have to get a new vaccine and feel like shit for a couple of days every 6 months for the next decade I'll do that).
I'm less doomerpilled than last march despite covid being worse. The early vaccine distribution is a shitshow but that should start to be alleviated as more production comes online. We know we can make working vaccines, we have vaccines for the dominant strains now, and if we work at it we can identify new strains quickly and target the best guess for the dominant strain.
Yeah it's seasonal flu territory, but hopefully not too much worse. I hope (and I think it's a justified hope) that this winter is going to be a long brutal horrifying low point in this fight but I think we will get through it and we will start to push back.
It is easy to tweak but the regulatory shit is different. This is uncharted territory for the fda so there’s no telling how long it would take to roll out the new one.
Ultimately I hope so too, but the blackpill is strong.

natural immunity is the exact same antigen exposure as a vaccine though? If anything it would be slightly stronger, since you're exposed to increasing amounts of the antigen until you eliminate it or die, whereas with the vaccine you get a controlled dose.
I don't know, I remember a doctor tweeting about it and explaining that vaccines can be better (at least the mRNA) because they target the specific protein. Natural immunity just reacts to whatever sets it off.
