Very bad news

The World Health Organization (WHO) said on Saturday that there was currently "no evidence" that people who have recovered from COVID-19 and have antibodies are protected from a second coronavirus infection.

If that's the case what's the point of looking for a vaccine then? Vaccines' only point is to generate antibodies similar to the ones you get after an actual infection.

If this fact stays true indefinitely, then the only thing we can do is eradicate the virus permanently, which will require a better response than we have been doing so far, no going back to normal for a very long time, God I hope that's not the case
