Reinfections with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes the disease, are on the rise, dashing hopes that vaccination or prior disease confers long-lasting immunity to infection. As more people get reinfected, they may be wondering: Do repeat infections lead to more severe COVID symptoms?
Given those findings, Al-Aly emphasizes that repeat infections are “consequential both in the acute and long COVID phase.” But his results also have important caveats: the VA patients were mostly older males, averaging 63 years in age, and many had preexisting health problems, including heart disease—all factors that can independently worsen COVID outcomes, Al-Aly says.
Among those hospitalized with severe COVID the first time around, nearly half were hospitalized again when reinfected. Conversely, roughly 90 percent of people with mild initial infections avoided hospitalization when sickened again with COVID later. Notably, the investigators found that reinfections were also associated with elevated risks of long COVID—lingering symptoms such as fatigue, shortness of breath and brain fog that persist months or years after an initial infection.
Richard Boucher, a pulmonologist at the UNC School of Medicine, agrees that people with widespread lung scarring face especially high risks from reinfection. “You worry about it in patients who had COVID and were left with severe pulmonary disease for months and months,” he says. “These patients are already behind the eight ball. You don’t want the virus to kick them again and add to the fibrosis they already have.

Covid doesnt exist...its detoxing overload from crap they put in their body, namely vaccines.
Most repeat infections if not all are amongst those who took the mRNA injections. I think you're find infectious diseases are more prevalent amongst those with serious drug habits than those without.
LongCovidSOS didnt data show the more infections the greater the risk of sars infection
fitterhappierAJ Nothing good comes from infection. LongCovid
comaly93g42b84 Stop with the 'mild' bullshit.
repeat infections have only been on the table the last year or so, we havent had enough repeat infections repeatedly to say any part of it is mild yet
What happens in ten years when most Americans are on their 7th or 8th infection? And: if today's 3 yo can expect 10-12 infections by her college graduation, what kind of lifespan can she expect?
“This study’s findings were unanticipated...' Well, only if you're...
fitterhappierAJ But don’t worry folks “Covid no longer controls our lives” 🥴😵💫
Oh yes and where exactly are they getting their base line from? There aren't many of we vaccinated people left but all the one's I know , and I'm in a low uptake area, are fine and most got covid. SO, are we talking double, triple or quadruple vaccinated? I was sick for a night.
Just had to get two Covid PCR tests within 24 hours of departure for international travel. $350 USD. Why let Covid go when it can still be used for control and profit?
some studies* suggest*
Uh oh.
I guess Pfizer won’t allow you to tell the truth: people who received the toxic, experimental vaccine are at risk for reinfection. Those with natural immunity, not so much.
You really have to first make it like getting sick multiple times from it in a year is the new normal for who knows how long, don't you?
