"I don't think you can generalize [the study] to everybody, but really for people that have risk factors for severe disease," he says, because veterans tend to be older and have more health conditions."
This is not a controlled study, its comparative across number of reinfections. There can be a correlation between overall health and ability to be reinfected. If your health is poor you will be overall more likely to experience death etc as well as symptomatic Covid infection.

It would be weird if veterans were the opposite to everyone else though. >here can be a correlation between overall health and ability to be reinfected But the study is about the severity of reinfection rather than the frequency
