Summary of Study: thefederalist.com...
A new study has found that individuals that have previously contracted COVID-19 show a more potent antibody response than those who were solely vaccinated for the respiratory virus.
Conducted by a research team at Rockefeller University in New York, the analysis found, “that between a first (prime) and second (booster) shot of either the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna vaccine, the memory B cells of infection-naïve individuals produced antibodies that evolved increased neutralizing activity against SARS-CoV-2", but also that “no additional increase in the potency or breadth of this activity was observed thereafter.”
Meanwhile, researchers determined that not only do recovered COVID-19 patients possess neutralizing antibodies up to a year after infection, but that such infection simultaneously assists in offering protection against developing variants.
Excerpted from: wwwnc.cdc.gov...
Data on the earlier coronavirus SARS-CoV-1 indicated that cellular immunity was detectable for >17 years after infection.

'exceptionally effective vaccines'
I do believe there are people that the vaccines have effectively helped, and it probably has saved some lives, but most don't need it. I'm not saying they're necessary nor am I saying that they're a good thing, but to an extent, it has been beneficial for certain people, dependent upon the individual and their own personal circumstances.
Why are the governments pushing vaccines on people who already have had the disease and have immunity?
Doctor who did early research on COVID vaccine: this is not a pandemic of the unvaccinatedDr. Byram Bridle tells the 'Ingraham Angle' that unvaccinated individuals 'are likely acquiring' in substantial numbers, 'naturally acquiring immunity'

What’s more interesting is those that recovered from SARS Cov 1 have maintained immunity past 17 years and are immune to SARS Cov 2.
I don’t trust anything Rockefeller, so I call BS on the 1 year immunity…they wish. Looks like backhanded propaganda so they can insist recovered people need a vaccine soon.
Sorry, I am hugely jaded by “New Science” this last year.
Q: How long do flu antibodies last?
A: According to our study, it appears they can last the entire lifespan of the human organism — 90 years plus.
In our study we were looking for antibodies to the 1918 flu. This flu virus was reconstructed a number of years ago in the lab, so we were able to test to see if 90 years later we could still find antibodies.
I recruited survivors, people who were born in 1915 or earlier and thus presumably survived the 1918 flu. We found that virtually all the people born in 1915 or earlier — about 90% of them — had good "titers" to the 1918 flu, which means they still had reasonably high concentrations of the antibodies in their blood, whereas among controls, people who were born in 1926 or later, it was only about 10%. That was really quite a remarkable finding.
