Antibody-dependent enhancement does not *create* infection in the lungs; it means antibodies interact with the binding proteins on the virus, and the binding site on the cells-to-be-infected, to make second and subsequent infections, happen more easily.
It’s not merely the hypothetical construct, it’s known to happen with dengue fever, for example.
Somewhere earlier on in this pandemic I read a one- or two-line snippet claiming the Chinese were seeing antibody-dependent enhancement with Kung Flu, for people who had been vaccinated for SARS. I did not have time to verify, but I do remember having read it.

you're 100% correct. I've been cutting out the links and and wording to make this easier to read. Which also makes it not accurate either. I will put that back in.
There are many reports where the SARS vaccine makes it easier for infection. Though I have not found a direct correlation with these people have the coronavius and the SARS vaccine. That would be a good one to find.

Thank you
