ADE is when a certain type of antibodies created by a vaccine or the viral infection itself allows the virus to enter cells more easily. It's not new: https://web.stanford.edu/group/parasites/ParaSites2010/Jemianne_Bautista/Bautista_J_Dengue.htm It was discussed before we had the COVID vaccines: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41564-020-00789-5?fbclid=IwAR0MTDI0qIQgLkqnjaYI7vyr-H4Wj2IcNiAQT1hWboXDk0YlIdwaCVgr5xg I would say the jury is out on evidence for ADE https://www.nature.com/articles/s41418-020-00711-w
