#1  The link: 35 Years of Research Into Coronavirus Infections Show Long-Term Immunity Is Unlikely

The above article illustrates an (IMO) important principle. There is all the difference in the World between long term scientific research done by people interested in a certain subject and academic band-wagon jumpers on a popular subject. The later look for a short-cut to fame and fortune and routinely fake (not even consciously) results for more impact.
