According to the investigators. Following an investigation of SARS-CoV-2-specific memory T cells in individuals who had recovered from varied degrees of virus infection,

Who have already been infected “express increasingly broad and potent antibodies that are resistant to mutations found in variants of concern.”
They come to the conclusion that “memory antibodies selected over time by natural infection have greater potency and breadth than antibodies elicited by vaccination.”
