“Statistically, that is VERY unlikely. You probably know 3 unvaxed people, at least two of whom had false-positive tests, or who self-diagnosed wrongly.”
I know a ton of unvaxxed people who are on their 2nd and even third deal with covid.
On another thread on FR today numerous people have said they are one their second case of covid and non are vaxxed.
Let’s try this:
1) Re-infection was the subject of an enormously famous paper out of South Korea following the history of a Wuhan patient that they were fed by Chinese docs. From day 1, re-infection was happening. The patient in question almost died from the first infection. The second was several months later, less severe. He was 73.
2) Every anecdote or sample you hear about someone who “got it and it was no big deal — just the snifffles” . . . make sure you get their age, because frankly nothing else matters.
3) There is no magic inside your body. Lung cells die off and get replaced. If a cell had its receptor points covered with antibodies, preventing infection, its replacement after it dies won’t have that covering. Detection of infection will produce new antibodies (vaxed or natural immunity), but if the infection dose of virus particles was dense enough, it will infect a great many lung cells before defenses arrive. The older you are, the slower that happens.
The End
