Yeah, you're not wrong, but neither am I. Both effects happen. The flu has unusually short immunity in humans: most diseases have an immunity that lasts longer than that.
A big worry about COVID19 was the length of immunity. As a novel disease, no one knew how long human immunity would last. Fortunately, it seems to be for a long time (more than 8 months, which is the length of time these studies have been going). As such, we know COVID19 immunity is "longer than the flu", already.
