So he infected himself twice and survived both times... So this is like a stronger than normal cold. Even less potent than a regular flu.
Stinks of fake news, doom and gloom.
That also would mean vaccines are useless and we’ll know in 6 months. After the genetically vulnerable are dead, the virus will just be another one that does nothing.
Think about this: We have NEVER mass tested for a virus like we are currently doing.
The world is conducting 100 million plus tests for a virus.
When has that ever happened before?
We see millions of positive results, but we have no context to put it into because we have never done mass testing like this before.
So, linking positive tests to deaths has been very uncertain...especially as we have gotten better at theraputics and protecting the vulnerable.
“Sounds anecdotal”....
If that is true then why bother with a vaccine???
The entire world should declare war against China. What idiot creates such a virus?
I think the Rooskies would love to keep people freaked.
So would the UK’s Deep State.
herd immunity IS futile — it would take too long. Vaccines are the hope.
Remember - Covid has a long incubation and has low lethality - so it spreads quickly among people and doesn’t kill off it’s spreaders always.
This is kinda like polio.
The CDC says it has no virus isolates for COVID, which begs the question of what he was injecting and how he got it.
The number of people who yammer on about “herd immunity” because they heard a smart person say it once is disturbing.
Is there “herd immunity” for any of the other human coronaviruses? (no). Have any of the 40 years of projects to develop a vaccine for any of the other human coronaviruses succeeded? (no).
This puppy may be here to stay.
Our immune system is wonderful and valuable. Various stuff enters our body, and our body gets rid of it

Very fake news-y but my understanding is that it’s fine if antibodies fade ... body remembers ... B and T cells.
How does this physician know his new infection was of the identical strain as his original? Every year, virologists GUESS about which strain of influenza will predominate, and they issue vaccines based on that guess. Why would this doctor expect his native immunity against one strain of the virus to be effective against a different strain?
His T-cells learned from the antibodies built during the 1st infection and they retained what they learned. They then helped create post-infection new antibodies to fight the virus the second time. Some folks have T-cells that can identity Covid-19 from the last Sars virus that preceded it, and help hit the Covid-19 with new antibodies on an initial infection.
