If you have an immune exposure you tend to have a small concentration of antibodies present in your system when you get the next infection. This inactivates the virus and stops you from becoming infected as quickly, hopefully allowing your immune system to respond faster and more effectively. In some diseases, like the flu, that will stop you from becoming infected to the point that you will spread it. Since we don't have data for Covid we can't say for sure whether or not that will be the case. However, based on previous vaccination on similar viruses, it would suggest that it would be the same.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the mRNA vaccine model something that's never been used in a wide market? I read something about a couple flu, a rabies, and... Uh... A couple other types. My understanding is that results were far more modest than the animal results would have indicated they'd be. But has there ever been an attempt at an mRNA vaccine for a Coronavirus?
I mean, I'm not doubting what you're saying, merely looking for clarification. My understanding of coronavirus vaccines is that all attempts (prior to covid-19 outbreak) have been dramatic failures.
