21. They can't refute him because it's the facts even by the NHS

A study (Lumley et al 2020) of over 12,000 people working in 4 English hospitals found that people who developed antibodies after SARS-CoV-2 infection were protected against disease for 6 months after infection, and reinfection (without any disease symptoms) was very rare.

Similarly, a UK Biobank study found 88% of 1,699 people with antibodies against COVID-19 still had these antibodies up to 6 months later. The SIREN study detailed below has also published similar findings. As more information is published on these studies and surveillance we will update these pages to link to new research.

Substantial immune memory is generated after COVID-19, involving all four major types of immune memory. About 95% of subjects retained immune memory at ~6 months after infection. Circulating antibody titers were not predictive of T cell memory. (ie, antibody levels are NOT predictive of immunity) Thus, simple serological tests for SARS-CoV-2 antibodies do not reflect the richness and durability of immune memory to SARS-CoV-2. This work expands our understanding of immune memory in humans. These results have implications for protective immunity against SARS-CoV-2 and recurrent COVID-19.
