This is clearly an attempt to smooth over the divide between himself and the Wagner group that has formed in recent weeks.
Personally, I doubt that it will be enough.

Funnily enough, trying to exploit the culture war as a wedge is exactly what I'd do as China in this situation.

Don't get me wrong, I'm still in favor of vaccinations as they effectively create those antibodies without the risk of severe illness or death, it's just that this study seems like common sense.
If you catch a disease and survive, you get the antibodies for it. It's the same reason vaccinations work.

...isn't that just how antibodies work?
EDIT: To clarify, I am still in favor of masks and vaccinations. I still wear an N95 today and I've gotten the COVID vaccinations and the boosters.

Reply to Teen shoots self in toe, then friend fires at clerk in mistaken retaliation, police say by HaveBikeWillRide
So, not only did the boy shoot himself in the foot, the other boy shot FOUR TIMES at the clerk, presumably at close range, and MISSED.
Seems to me like neither of these folks should have been around a gun, and the clerk is lucky to be unharmed.

I'm impressed and somewhat terrified at the ingenuity, but it's not like they actually programmed the AI into fearing death. The thing isn't sentient.
What we must realize, is that the AI isn't acting out of its own accord. It's merely executing the protocols built into it, which is using a practically infinite amount of data, and moving on.
