ADE occurs with natural infection. the Dengue Fever Virus, for example, is notorious for it. People get mild dengue illness the first time and then, the next time they come into contact with it, the get the lethal form.

It has been determined that this is because of two things:

1) after the first infection, antibody levels start to fall. Once they fall to within a narrow range, ____you are 7.64x more likely to develop the lethal form. ____On the other hand, if you are infected again but your antibody levels are still relatively high, you are protected.

2) Dengue Fever Virus has 4 variants. If you are infected with Variant 1 initially and then subsequently contract variant 4 after your antibody levels have diminished over time, you are likely to experience ADE Dengue fever

So now think of all the people that had mild Covid from the original strain. Their antibody level is unpredictable. The people who were vaccinated, on the other hand, will have predictably high levels of antiboddies and, as such, we will be better able to predict when they need a booster shot to keep their antibody levels high. versus the people who decline the vaccine who will have low levels of antibodies and will inevitably come into contact with one of the Covid variants.

In my opinion, people who decline the vaccine are more likely to experience ADE in subsequent Covid infections. they certainly aren't guaranteed any kind of safety.

Well, always trying to see the bright side of things, at least the number of ridiculous anti-vaccine posts here may diminish to some degree as that antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE) culls the herd.
