Or the issue of false positive / false negative tests

I believe it was mentioned in the article.

RE: I don’t believe anything that CHINA reports.

What about Hong Kong? (which is where this report came from ). Or are you saying that Hong Kong’s researchers are now compromised?

“... if it turns out to be true, it’s one person out of tens (possibly hundreds) of millions who’ve been infected. That’s a fluke.”

I agree 100%. The chances of getting these disease twice appear (at present) to be beyond remote. The fear machine needs to knock down ‘herd immunity’ in order to keep us in compliance.

I had read elsewhere that the reports of the second infection were originally filtered out through the Chinese government. China has also been exerting more and more control over Hong Kong in recent months. I’m not stating that these particular researchers have definitely been compromised; I’m just far more skeptical than I would be if this were in London or Germany or the US.

But regardless of whether it’s true or not, this one fluke isn’t that big a deal to me. One case out of tens (possibly hundreds) of millions? I’m not going to panic over that.

More bullshit. There are any number of reasons that a person could appear reinfected. There are also reasons why one individual might get reinfected. A person could appear to be reinfected by having a false positive test while experiencing symptoms. Symptoms are not a diagnosis even though diagnoses are made based on symptoms. A diagnosis is not necessarily conclusive. One might also have an immune deficiency like AIDS or be taking immunosuppressive agents like chemotherapy or steroids prior to the first diagnosis.

You can’t extrapolate a single instance onto the community at large. This is like hunting for a four-leafed clover. If you search hard enough you will find one. The people that report this have an interest in the reporting which is to scare people. Another result is that the people who keep posting to keep the scare alive get to pretend they have new facts.

Yes, that’s exactly what they’re aiming at.

Incidentally, some vaccines don’t provide long term protection, which is why they have to be redone at certain points. Also, I’d be interested in what was “confirmed” the first time...they were “confirming” them by symptoms, which could have been any old flu or cold. And since colds are coronaviruses, the tests usually can’t distinguish between the particular types, so he might have had a different one.

In any case, he lived through the first one and he’ll probably live through this one too (because if he has the antibodies, it will be much milder).

This article is the biggest pile of excrement to be posted on this forum in some time. I tried to read it but it is so full of non sequiturs, dead ends, contradictory statement, and logical dead ends that I gave up.

It isn’t unheard of for some people to get infected from the same virus twice. Not all people develop immunity by getting a vaccine. This isn’t news.

And posted to beat the fear drum. It really seems like there are very few people posting all the articles. Seekandfind is a prolific poster with a distinct pro fear bias.

Yes. And likelihood this is really the first reinfected person, 0%.

You mean th Fearpers?

Where are all these folks with their cover fear porn? I event seen them in awhile. Particularly the one with hockey stick graphs and the other one with all the charts about case fatality rates.

I like to think that they are embarrassed about how the help the Dems and the prog agenda.

HIV didn’t disappear either. I remember early reports that virologists found HIV embedded in this virus by the creators of the Communist Chinese bio-weapon

I think this is hype. The 33y old could have had a non-diagnosed immune system deficiency. If so, yeah he could get it again or could have never completely gotten rid of it due immunodeficiency.

Another “Well Duh!”.

Why would the WuFlu be any different from the regular flu that has been around for years.

We can get the flu again even if we’ve had it before and even if we’ve been vaccinated; hence the call for yearly flu shots.

More idiocy to keep the scamdemic going.

Or the issue of false positive / false negative tests

true positive / false positive
false positive / true positive
false positive / false positive
true positive / true positive

Only 1/4 of these probabilities would be a case where the same person caught the virus twice.
