Have you already had a covid infection? Did you know that covid infection provides protection? Great news! The following sources all confirm that a person who has had an infection has lasting robust immunity.
“Good news: Mild COVID-19 induces lasting antibody protection: People who have had mild illness develop antibody-producing cells that can last lifetime.” Washington School of Medicine in St Louis from May 24, 2021.
The findings, published May 24 in the journal Nature, suggest that mild cases of COVID-19 leave those infected with lasting antibody protection and that repeated bouts of illness are likely to be uncommon.

Coronavirus immunity May Last Years, Possibly Even Decades, Study Suggests
Immunity to the novel coronavirus may last eight months or longer, according to a new study authored by respected scientists at leading labs, which found that individuals who recovered from the coronavirus developed “robust” levels of B cells and T cells (necessary for fighting off the virus) and “these cells may persist in the body for a very, very long time.”

Lasting immunity found after recovery from COVID-19.
At a Glance
*The immune systems of more than 95% of people who recovered from COVID-19 had durable memories of the virus up to eight months after infection.
*The results provide hope that people receiving SARS-CoV-2 vaccines will develop similar lasting immune memories after vaccination.

Previously infected should be protected from all variants

Research Suggests Mild COVID-19 Illness Leaves Behind Lasting Antibody Protection. June 2, 2021.
Scientists found that individuals who have recovered from a mild case of COVID-19 have long-lived plasma cells in their bone marrow that secretes low levels of antibodies against the virus for possibly a lifetime.

No point vaccinating those who’ve had COVID-19: Cleveland Clinic study suggests
And just in case you want to take a deep dive into what could be going on, here is an ebook on Covid-19: A Different Perspective by Dr John Reizer. https://johnswordpressblog.files.wordpress.com/2020/04/covid-19-pdf-1.pdf
I’m not saying I agree with everything presented by the author, but only by examining many aspects of an issue and discovering many viewpoints can we form a thoughtful point of view. Being able to hold differing points of view in your mind long enough to consider them is essential in most discussions. Our culture produces short sound bites which intend to spur our allegiance and keep us divided. Considering many sides of an issue brings understanding.
Remember, even if you do get sick, there are many approaches to effectively treat the illness so that it will not be severe. Early consistent treatment of any symptom usually brings swift relief. My personal go-to is vitamin C. Zinc is an essential mineral that many of us may be deficient in and supplementing can be beneficial. Our immune system is awesome. I have several more posts about it here, here, and here. More serious illness may require protocols developed by many doctors working together to successfully treat this infection.
Knowing that infection protects because our immune system is designed to remember previous infections can give us a lot of confidence. Do we really need an experimental liability free injection that is fast becoming the most harmful drug in history? Why are we getting so much pressure to accept this medical procedure? Many well respected scientists are repeatedly assuring us that we do not need to fear this virus.
I’d love to hear from you. What are you learning? We all need hope. Seeking to know what’s going on in the world is never going to be complete without understanding that the world was created by God who loves us and desires our ultimate good. Navigating vast amounts of conflicting information can produce confusion and apathy. No matter what is happening in the world, or the cause, God is still in control. Seeking to hear His voice in the midst of chaos will provide clarity and comfort.
