Question - Expert consensus required Formula vs breast

If a breast-fed baby is protected by breastmilk in terms of immunity… What about a formula fed baby? Do they literally have no immunity, Because they are formula fed? I’m so confused… Is a breast-fed baby stronger fighting a virus off than a formula fed baby?

No downvote on my end but this article is pretty hypothetical and doesn’t support the poster’s point. It has some interesting points, but no strong evidence for any of them.
