You must have read a different article than I did. It just talked about the production of antibodies. They help fight off infection but don't necessarily make you immune. The article also specifically mentions vulnerability to variants.



Isn't that how vaccines works?


My understanding is the antibodies created from the vaccine are not the same antibodies that maybe created from having one of the main strains of the virus and thus would not offer the same level of protection.


> “They help fight off infection…”

Yeah, that’s what the immune system does.


Providing partial immunity, not necessarily full immunity.
