Are the unvaccinated catching it over and over again? That seems to me a vanishingly rare occurrence, admittedly within a rapidly shrinking set of people. It would be interesting to get some figures for this, hopefully without being lynched for asking the question.
- jonpalmisc 5y agoPersonal anecdote, sample size of 1: I know an unvaccinated person who has had it 3 times. Not immunocompromised, otherwise healthy.
- hanoz 5y ago> sample size of 1 The only unvaccinated person you know who has had it, has had it three times?
- beamatronic 5y agoWere they at least 6-9 months apart, or closer to a year?
- jonpalmisc 5y agoFirst two infections were closer to 3-4 months IIRC, third was probably ~6 months.
- lovecg 5y agoHow did the severity compare across the three cases if you know?
- verdverm 5y agoFrom what I understand, Covid is endemic and we should expect new seasonal variations each year like the flu and common cold
- ajsnigrutin 5y agoThere were many stats, showing most of people with omicron being vaccinated (above the vaccination rate). I never found the methodology behind it, because if they only tested travellers to eg. africa for omicron, then sure, probably all of them were vaccinated, if they did randomized testings, they you'd expect at worst (vaccines don't work) the same percentage un/vaccinated as in the general population, or at best, vastly more unvaccinated infected. > hopefully without being lynched for asking the question Somehow this is a sad reality of social media and the current 'situation'... asking anything is seen as "provocative", and there are many things happening that would require more rigid questioning and better answers.
- miriam_catira 5y agoAnother small sample size for you: I know one family that's not vaccinated - both children are too young either way. Both parents and older child have caught it twice, about a year apart. Youngest is still nursing, and has not caught it. Dad and son are fine, but the Mom has an "annoying lingering cough" as she put it. But both times it wasn't worse than the flu for any of them, so in their case they see it as "we got lucky" but no one has any underlying conditions that would have caused complications.
