I've heard from a number of people who got the coof a second time, and I'm pretty sure every single one of them has said that it was worse the second time around.

Variant flavor probably has a lot to do with it.

We'll see what happens.

Anything in the NEJM has to be looked at in terms of how it is supporting government narratives, programs, or corporate interests.

This study is interesting in that it comes from Qatar, is rather limited, and the data seems a little dated.

Data collection stopped in April 21, so it was pre Delta, in fact they mention that it is basically an Alpha and Beta variant study.

"The study has limits. It was done in Qatar, so it's not clear if the virus would behave the same way anywhere else. The work was done when the alpha and beta variant were the cause of many re-infections. There were 621 cases where it was undetermined and 213 from a "wild type" virus. There was no mention of the delta variant, which is now the predominant strain. That could have an impact on the number of reinfections."

Also they excluded people who were vaxed, not sure why.

"To determine how many people got reinfected, scientists from Weill Cornell Medicine-Qatar compared the records of people with PCR-confirmed infections between February of 2020 and April 2021. They excluded 87,547 people who got the vaccine."

Is it really that hard to pull this kind of report together? You've got people who are registered as testing positive, so many of those are registered as testing positive twice.

Seems like if you are just looking at one jurisdiction, like Qatar, that you'd have a running count of those numbers in your database, so I don't know why you'd take 7 months to format the report, nor does it seem to be that important or consequential to rise to NEJM publication status.

You don't expect to see a story in CNN supporting this line of reasoning, either.

Odd all around.

Could it be, Natural Immunity? Nah. In a sane world the people perpetuating this lie would no longer be with us.

“every single one of them has said that it was worse the second time around.”

I think Raheem Kassan on War Room said his was worse the second time.
