depends how many shots you’ve had
My wife claims she knows of someone who’s had COVID three times.
Well, reinfection most definitely CAN occur. That happened in my own family this week. One of my kids who had COVID last year (2020) well before Delta raised its head contracted COVID again this week. It is likely Omicron because of its “breakthrough” ability but is definitely not on the Omicron’s milder end of severity. It’s not like a mild cold; it is more on the flu side of symptoms. And, yes, she confirmed it is COVID by testing (for which she had to pay $100 to avoid a 5 hour wait in a line filled with too many non-sick).
Anecdotally, after having covid in late 2020, my family and I were fine for a year, all of us (probably repeatedly) exposed in one way or another, but never having symptoms. Made it through Delta just fine. Then, we got it again with Omicron.
My wife and I tested positive in 2020 for Covid and tested positive for antibodies after recovery. This time, it hit us a little differently than the last time, but wasn’t anything unmanageable. Both of our mothers (in late 70’s) are having their first symptoms this time, as they came through the last time seemingly unscathed. My MIL is vaccinated. My mother (age 79, excellent health) is not. Both are doing well, no severe symptoms. Last time, my wife slept for 3 days straight and I recovered in a day without much problem. (except for long covid issues like olfactory problems) This time, I’ve been hit a little bit harder and my wife has been annoying the crap out of me with all her energy...God bless her! lol Honestly though, I’ve been way sicker than this. This is basically me being tired and in a crappy mood with some more body aches and a bit of brain fog. It was nice to have the luxury of being able to take some time and sleep as much as my body wanted to between Christmas and New Years.
My kids barely had a blip the first time and this time, they’ve had a more persistent upset stomach than they did last time. That’s about it.
I have two friends currently dealing with COVID, one a reinfection the other vaxed. Seems neither provide much protection from Omicron. Both are symptomatic but just feeling crappy, sore throat, fever, etc. Hopefully both will stay mild and resolve quickly. That seems to be the trend with Omicron.
a nice writeup but, it keeps referring to ‘recent’ and ‘very recent’ studies, that are dated May 2021,
prior to most Delta and definitely prior to Omi.
But I”ll quote it anyway to shut down the ninny antivaxers who claim vaxed people are superspreaders.
I think you can get it again but if you literally fought off symptoms the first time, the case will be much less. Don’t live in fear. Just take your vitamins and be happy. Know that your body knows what to do.
Husband just tested positive tonight. Great way to bring in the new year huh. Anyways, he already had it one year and one month ago. This time is not as severe. Hope things keep going well.
I’m 20 times baseline antibodies and I’m 20 months post recovery from extremely mild case
I took plaquenil and zpak and zinc....I now take plaquenil for RA daily now
200mg 2/day
It’s criminal deep state ignores this..
And therapeutics
Ask my daughter and two nieces who are front lne healthcare providers. All three are jabbed and boosted, all three have had covid times two. With the illness more severe the second time around. All have contracted the second round of covid this past week.
My parents got it, got over it, no drama, then were convinced to get jabbed. Three shots. Then got it again.
I suspect the shot messes up your natural immunity. Plus, they are pretty old.
I finally get to “experience” the CCP virus. Was with family in Arkansas on Monday through Wednesday. Came home Wednesday evening and woke up Thursday with a throbbing head and general discomfort. Didn’t take anything all day.. Went to bed Thursday and tossed and turned and decided to take two aspirin. Slept like a baby for the next 4 to 5 hours. When the aspirin wore off the discomfort returns. This is a type of pain where when you move your eyes to the left or right it hurts. Took the QuickVue test yesterday and it is CCP virus positive. Before bedtime last night I took two aspirin and slept for nine hours. Started to get drainage and a slight sore throat. This morning I gargled with some hydrogen peroxide and took a couple aspirin for the day. Good oxygen levels of 95 and no fever (97.7)… let’s see how this rodeo turns out! Right now the aspirin is working quite well with the symptoms I am having.

Thanks for this. I’ve been asking about antibodies for months.
