Interesting that they only studied vaccine-induced immunity. Not a single word about natural immunity.

You're more than twice as likely to be reinfected if you have immunity through previous infection. Vaccine protection is significantly better.

There’s major, major hesitance to giving natural immunity any credibility. The reason for that is an exercise left up to the reader.

Naturally-acquired cell-mediated immunity is probably broad (works against variants) and durable (lasts a long time): https://www.cell.com/cell-reports-medicine/fulltext/S2666-37...
