If you want sources I will find them, but there are studied and not simply anecdotal instances of multiple infections of covid, yes. The outcomes range somewhat across the board from subsequent risks of severe infection or death, in a way that resembles vaccination.
- jack_pp 5y agoIt seems it is rare : https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/your-health/reinfection.html https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/your-health/reinfe... . Also found a recent CDC study on this : https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7032e1.htm?s_cid=mm7032e1_w https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7032e1.htm?s_cid=mm... . However, from said study : "First, reinfection was not confirmed through whole genome sequencing, which would be necessary to definitively prove that the reinfection was caused from a distinct virus relative to the first infection. Although in some cases the repeat positive test could be indicative of prolonged viral shedding or failure to clear the initial viral infection (9), given the time between initial and subsequent positive molecular tests among participants in this study, reinfection is the most likely explanation" Do with this as you will, but it seems there's nothing concrete. "most likely explanation" isn't good enough to force people to get an emergency use, rushed vaccine.
- sjg007 5y agoReinfection has been well established all over the place. You can identify it via PCR, you don't need to sequence it.
- jack_pp 5y agoPCR has false positives. Also I came with sources, you didn't provide any.
- sjg007 5y agoIf you can’t research the scientific literature effectively, that’s on you.
- jack_pp 5y agoNo, it is on you to provide proof for your assertions. It is not my job to verify your claims.
- sjg007 5y agoYou are parroting debunked arguments from 2 years ago.
- jack_pp 5y agoYou are wrong. There, isn't that a stupid argument? If you are going to just state your opinions as fact without actually providing evidence for extraordinary claims then this conversation is pointless.
- sjg007 5y agoIt is you, sir, who is making extraordinary claims. The very reference you cite states that: "Reinfection with human coronaviruses, including SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, has been documented."
