Potential GOOD COVID-VACCCINE NEWS !
Data shows that Sars-cov2 infection induced a protective immunity against re-exposure in non human primates
The animals did test positive for covid but had symptoms similar to mild clinical disease https://science.sciencemag.org/content/early/2020/05/19/science.abc4776
