I know there are some reinfections but does that mean everyone can be reinfected or is it just a fraction that don’t gain immunity?

lots of “reinfections” were debunked as false positives. search on r/COVID19 for details.

And it should be emphasized that 100% of reported reinfections were just news reports saying "hey this person tested positive after testing negative" - there was never tremendously strong evidence for it.
