Q: do natural covid-19 infections produce spike protein antibodies?

: Usually yes, but not as consistently as immunization does. This is one of the reasons people who have recovered from COVID-19 should be vaccinated. Protection is better from vaccination than illness partly because of spike protein antibody.
