They have identified over 30 mutations and it seems very unlikely that you would be immune to all of them. This is an aggressive viral infection and seems to be very robust in the way it resists treatment. It also seems to produce widely varying symptoms of initial infection
While I would like to have faith in the claims of the studies in the article I think we are far too early in the research for it to be universally predictive. Will it remain true 6 months from now or next year when we are perhaps observing further waves of infection and disease spread? Will it remain true for those exposed to different strains of the virus? Will it remain true where the diversity of genetic patterns in the population are different than where the testing has been done presently, or where the predominant diet or social stress levels or other underlying conditions are markedly different?
I hope that the studies are meaningful and predictive, but this ain't my first rodeo.
