There are several variances of the COVID disease If a person contacted the COVID can you catch the virus again? If so how many times? Vaccinated and un-vaccinated?
Yes. Next question.
I had it exactly 1 year ago. I have been exposed 4-5 times since then. I have not been sick since then.
(shrugging shoulders) I don’t know.
Everyone can catch it for at least as many variants as exist.
Every time it mutates, you can get it again.
It’s a real Bohica virus.
I believe that you can catch the “Classic version” (Original or delta variant), and then STILL get the Omicron variant. I kinda doubt you could get it a 3rd time. (At least from what I’ve read recently).
Variants probably important. But even the original will get inhaled to find weakened immunity after time passes.
Of course, after time passes the latest variant will have replaced the original.
I encountered a guy just this evening with his 2nd infection. First was May 2020. Now another. He says the reason he got tested was he was sick for a week and on the verge of going to the ER, but never went. Feels like he’s improving.
Age I think 58. Got a little lucky.
Studies show those vaccinated may actually be at higher risk of catching Covid. Higher than the unvaxxed.
And when you add in the known health risks and dangers of getting an MRNA vaccine; why would anyone take the jab?
There are a number of examples of this. Some had it...got vaxed-up, and then had it again. Some had it...six months passed (no vax) and they got it again. Worst case I’ve seen...German female singer had it and required hospitalization. Three months after this, she got vaxed-up. Couple of months after that...she got Covid again, and required hospitalization once again.
TLDR: In general, your your chance of getting the disease again is low in the next 8 months.
More detail:
Possibly the most accurate guess regarding the chance of getting the disease twice is in this paper:
https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.12.04.21267114v1
And specifically in supplemental data table S6 here:
https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.12.04.21267114v1.supplementary-material
Just look up your age and previous injection status and time since infection or injection, and you’ll see the chance in 100,000 person days that you’ll be reinfected in a given timeframe, at least within the 8 month period after infection or injection presented.
Of note, if one looks at the bottom of Table S6, they may find that getting the vaccine BEFORE getting the actual disease is associated with:
a statistically significant almost doubling
compared to either getting the vaccine after getting the disease or of not getting the vaccine at all
of getting the disease for a second time
at the 6-8 month point
for persons in the 16-39 year old age group.
Other age groups and other times show a similar effect, but not statistically significant.
And, of course, there does not seem to be significant evidence, in this paper or anywhere else, that the jabs greatly alter the incidence or prevalence of getting the disease the first time. All we know pretty much for sure right now is that getting the injections before getting the illness is associated with a persistent increase in getting Covid twice.
A concern is the possibility that whatever mechanism makes jab recipients more likely to get Covid a second time may also make jab recipients more likely to get some more deadly disease that we may not even have identified yet (maybe that more deadly disease has not yet been released).
Israel admits to 1 in 1000 reinfections. How serious that is depends, of course, on severity of symptoms. Apparently not bad so far.
I’m 53 and I eat covid for breakfast.
Seriously, it’s everywhere.
On my eggs, my milk, my cereal, my toast.
I’ve had Alpha, Delta & Omicron (the latter as of this weekend).
Each time it’s milder, this weekend not even rising to the level of bad colds I’ve had in the past.
Yes, I’m ‘pureblood’.
As well, every ‘vaxxed’ person in my office is becoming symptomatic.
Yeah: Try to tell me it’s not a personal choice (the latter directed at ‘vaccine’ brown shirts).
You can catch colds and or the flu more than once....I expect the same for covid regardless of which side of the so called variants you get. It’s still covid and you’re still sick.
In between March 2020 and January 6th when my symptoms first began, I’ve had absolutely no colds or viruses, even tho I spent a week At Disneyworld in August 2020 and 5 days in Vegas in August 2021.
I should note that I’ve been taking mega vitamins and supplements like zinc, quercetin, NAC, turmeric, vitamins C, D, and K for over a year, and I’ve taken 2 ivermectin 12 mg tabs a day since Friday.
Statistically, according to Dr Robert Malone, if you haven't been JABBED and catch it, (if you live) you'll be 27x less likely to be re-infected than someone who had been JABBED, caught it, and lived.
My SIL had the original in March 2021 and Delta in Aug 2021. She was out of work 4 weeks with the 2nd case. She is unvaxed. A nurse friend had a mild case in Jan 2021, and a case in May 2021 that required 4 weeks in the hospital, plus many more weeks on oxygen and therapy. She was double vaxed with the 2nd case. Another friend got it in July 2020 and has it again now. I believe she is vaxed, but of course was not in July 2020.
So yes, you can get it more than once just like the cold or the flu.
Yes. I heard tonite of a friend of the family who was infected and very ill with Covid, then months later was vaccinated with the first two Pfizer doses and then the Pfizer booster, and last week was Covid positive and ill again.
And I know family members and friends never vaccinated and never Covid positive and ill.
