I don't know why your comment bothers me so much, but... No, your friend didn't have COVID a second time after being vaccinated after their first infection. Especially lacking any clarification that they were in fact tested positive both times, you are merely contributing to noise on the internet. 1) "a friend of yours" is not a data point on which others should base their worldview (unless their testicles got huge and their fiance called it off, why even share?) 2) reinfection is rare 3) it is likely the first time they think they had covid, they weren't tested, and actually had the flu. Here is the CDC information on reinfection: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/your-health/reinfection.html https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/your-health/reinfe... As of August 6, 2021, the CDC has nothing conclusive to say on the matter: "Cases of reinfection with COVID-19 have been reported, but remain rare . " Anecdotes are noise, and I would encourage you to do no further research.

> No, your friend didn't have COVID a second time after being vaccinated after their first infection. PCR tested positive both times, double jabbed in-between. You might not like the fact that it's possible, but that doesn't make it impossible. 1) You seem to be the one projecting a world view based off an anecdote. Chill. 2) Law of large numbers. A small percentage of a very large number is still a large number. 3) Here you go again with made up "facts" that aren't even anecdata. > Cases of reinfection with COVID-19 have been reported Seems pretty conclusive. They're referred to as "breakthrough cases", and not as rare as you seem to believe. What's more important is that the risk of hospitalization and death in breakthrough cases is considerably reduced. > I would encourage you to do no further research I would encourage you to do more. Making up "facts" to make a point does nothing to strengthen your position (whatever that may be – seems more like you just wanted to rant).
