Pyro as Bill said:

There is no proof, that some lasting immunity is even established after getting through the infection. So I really don't know why people get this idea.

You can find cross-reactive antibody reaction between viral strains that are decades apart, and sometimes that aren't even from the same clade but have a similar proteic structure. The absence of that sort of immunity is the very reason "virgin soil" epidemics have happened many times in the past.

So, the theory is sound, at least.
