As we saw through our well respected friend zzand and his daughter, immunity is not guaranteed past 6 months after initial COVID infection. This furthers my believe that herd immunity is unlikely when combined with continued COVID fires in India.

Not All Past Infections Contribute to Herd Immunity
They/them, non-binary and proud.
Remember that “2000 Mules” was concocted by a circus of elephants.
The right needs to stop worry about what’s between people’s legs. Instead, they should focus on what’s between their ears.
Audacity sucks.

Re: Not All Past Infections Contribute to Herd Immunity
Where's the "science" behind this??
“Contracting COVID does not create the kind of immunity we’re looking for”, yet we were told last year (several time) that folks how contracted COVID had still shown immunities at least 9 months later. Apparently we still don't know how long the vaccines give you protection, but there's an awful lot of talk and planning about getting booster shots for the vaccines annually, or maybe even more often.
So, it appears the vaccines don't protect you forever, and neither does actually contracting (and recovering) from COVID. Either you count them both, or you don't count either.

Re: Not All Past Infections Contribute to Herd Immunity
The vaccine is good for at least a year. Most COVID cases offer 6 months of immunity. That's a substantial difference.
