Just read this on The Conversation website. “Does covid really damage your immune system?”
I found it very good.

I saw that too. In summary, the answer is that there is still no definite evidence. The article also addressed the issue of "immunity debt" and the conclusion was that there isn't any definite evidence for that either. All that seems to have happened is that the timing of infection has been delayed.
