In many diseases the sicker you are, the more vigorous your immune response. So a mild or asymptomatic case of Covid may not give as good protection against further attack. Again however, this is NOT yet established. Covid has only been around for a year so nobody can tell you what happens 18 months after the disease much less 5 years.

In the absence of excellent data, the prudent and recommended approach, at this time, is that regardless of a person's history of Covid disease, they should still receive vaccination. It may be that at some time in the future that recommendation may change.

Bet it’s been in the lab lot longer than year. IMO it just got released year or more go? Intentionally or in-intentionally?
