UK study finds evidence of waning antibody immunity to COVID-19 over time

 But vaccines will still work. Phew!

Antibodies against the novel coronavirus declined rapidly in the British population during the summer, a study found on Tuesday, suggesting protection after infection may not be long lasting and raising the prospect of waning immunity in the community.

Your government, K, has failed miserably in its handling of the coronavirus. And these vaccine challenge trials are insane.

Vaccines are a long, long way off, so be careful.

"It’s complicated Kevin...."

You wouldn't know that coming from the orange Moron in Chief in the White House, Matt.

And speaking of morons, and of the orange variety, what that hell are "hydrosonic missiles." In every superspreader event, the orange moron is bragging about America's hydrosonic missiles. Should the Russians and Chinese fear these new "hydro" weapons?

Btw, lest anyone here is thinking of switching to an electric toothbrush, I just want to quickly add that the hydrosonic toothbrush is both effective and safe to use :) [image of my beautiful, pearly white teeth]

Figurative language... indicates disdain...

Like we who dont have any respect for and disdain the commie "Green New Deal!" will call it instead the "New Green Deal"... we dont actually think that is how the commies word it... its the same thing...

Trump isnt into all that military stuff... he prefers to negotiate rather than warfare...

Hes not going to display such respect that he makes sure he gets the terminology exactly correct... just the opposite...

I have some hydroponic missiles, usually known as cucumbers.

This was an unpublished, non peer- reviewed report. As this CBC report notes,

"Bottom line: It seems really likely based on millions of people infected, the duration of the epidemic and the still very small percentage of reinfections that there is pretty durable immunity to SARS-CoV-2 after an initial infection."
