The point that I had heard a few times was that if human immunity didn't last long for Covid..the vaccines would last even less because vaccines would never be better than the immunity derived from actual infection.
This is just from my memory of this so if you have a link where someone claims a vaccine would work better than human immunity please share it.

Lots and lots of great and exciting science to read about in this thread and all over the internet. Real clinical trials and studies showing that vaccines work and immunity is at a minimum (with some exceptions) 6-12 months and almost certainly long lasting given what they’ve found regarding the bodies immune response both short and long term. Only time will tell us how long, but my best guess is many years to decades.
