I see that despite there being no evidence that antibodies confer immunity and that the level of antibodies subsides in many cases to an undetectable level, Prit Patel is again touting the disproven and irresponsible possibility of "Immunity Passports"

I agree, it’s absolute folly to assume that antibodies do in fact confer immunity. The SARS-CoV-2 virus is an absolute bugger of a thing, I’m sure there’s a thousand things we don’t know about it yet, that are going to be significant in the future.
There’s an Italian medic named Professor Bassetti, who thinks the virus is weakening, to the point where it may just fizzle out by itself. His optimism isn’t widely shared, but what he says does seem to pass the ‘duck test’ as far as proof of the pudding being in the eating is concerned.

There is recent evidence that antibody levels fall... and rapidly

If I have to pass a cyclist or jogger coming the other way, I'm still closing one eye and holding my breath for as long as possible, can't be too careful with covid
