That means the population overall may build immunity to it?

Well, not exactly, it means that "immunity" may actually be dangerous or fatal. Because immunity implies release of antibodies on re-exposure, except in this case the antibodies bind to the virus, as normal, but then the virus infects much more readily, prompting the body to produce more antibodies and mount an ever greater immune response in a dangerous cycle.
