Why is nobody asking if people who have already had Covid and recovered are getting it again?

My guess is that if a person has already had Covid they are not catching it again and we do not hear about it because corporate media does not bring it up or write about it ever.

We have to fight this madness or it is the end of the free-range human.

Apparently they can; natural immunity is like 700% more effective than the Poke. So, it isn't happening at nearly the rate; at least not enough of a rate it would advance the narrative if reported on.

Anecdotally, I know a guy who got it and recovered. He did not get vaccinated, but his whole family did. Now they are all sick with the new variant and he is not.

People are asking that, and it’s been answered. People infected with the original Wuhan virus or the April 2020 variant are infected at a rate of about 1 out of every 10,000. That’s pretty good protection. For the Brazil and South Africa variants, there’s a lot of mixed results, but the Brazil variant has some evidence for significant reinfected based on a study looking at the city of Manaus, Brazil.

The Delta variant has also been studied a lot for this. Because antibodies from previous variants are less effective with Delta due to changes in the M, N, and S proteins. Reinfection rates have been observed in the UK and the US at roughly 1 in 6,000 with Delta. So less protection against that variant than whichever one you were originally infected with, but still pretty good. However, also not perfect.

Important to note that just like people who were vaccinated and got infected anyway (i.e. “breakthrough infections”), those who become reinfected after previously recovering typically have a much milder case the next time around. The immunity enjoyed may not be absolutely perfect, but it limits the damage the virus is able to do.

The problem is that the leading test used to detect Covid over the past year is now known to have had up to a 90% false positive rate. So a lot of “Covid cases” were actually the flu or something else. These people have no natural immunity even though they were told that they had Covid.
