and it is possible that our immune response is only keyed to a subset.

So that means it is entirely possible to get this twice.

the one to watch out for is the so-called Mink-5 mutation from Denmark.

Also unclear if the vaccination therapies cover some or all mutations.

Another factor is how long the immune response lasts from either having had the virus or a vaccination.
