Dr. Abraar Karan, an infectious disease doctor at Stanford, suffered the same fate as many people in January. Despite being vaccinated and boosted, he got infected with COVID during the surge of the highly infectious omicron variant.
Then, just a few months later in May, he performed a routine COVID test one day before work and found himself infected with the coronavirus yet again.
Earlier in the pandemic, scientists held out the hope that hybrid immunity — the dual protection afforded by having been both infected with the virus and vaccinated against it — would provide the strongest shield against subsequent reinfection. The theory largely held true for versions of the virus that were less infectious than omicron.
But when omicron and its super infectious subvariants came along, the strength and durability of that immunity became far less certain. These days, even vaccinated and boosted people who were infected as recently as January’s omicron surge are finding themselves catching COVID a second or even third time.
Some of this is due to the evolving nature of the virus and some is the result of less vigilant behavior, said Dr. Bob Wachter, the chair of medicine at UCSF. Many people may assume they can’t get reinfected so soon, he said, when that’s likely not the case.

Agreed. The Roe v Wade was about vaccine mandates.

Here in the U.S., I find it no coincidence that by pushing the Dobbs case, which ends with the overturning of Roe (the only time the SCOTUS injected bodily autonomy into Constitutional law in such an overt way). Thus the SCOTUS decision to oppose vaccine mandates no longer has any precedent. Ever since Trump arrived on the scene and so many allowed him to destroy their critical thinking skills, I've been watching the media play the people on both "sides" like a ping-pong match in which the winner isn't even playing that game, but rather has a fixed eye on the real ball, which the poor ping-pong players fail to even see. In this current case, it's control over your body; with Roe gone, there's no longer a precedent for saying "my body, my choice." Get ready for vaccine mandates very soon; and don't be surprised if your "side" doesn't come down the way you want it--cause politics has no "side" but its own, and it ain't yours.
His study, which began in June 2020, looked at patients who had been infected with the original strain of the virus before they were vaccinated and compared their immune response to those who received the vaccines but did not get sick.

Covid 19 is extinct, just like the specific flu from 3 years ago mutated into lesser strains with every iteration. The health "experts" need to be gone, because they are not experts, they're actors and tools of this criminal cartel.

It had to go one way or the other.
Too many wanted it both ways. Of course, too many also forget that with abortion it's not just your body. There is another one involved, and the same goes with vaccine mandates - you want to mandate it because odds are you took your own poison and now want to make sure everyone else is forced to have some too. So it's not an issue of just your body; your choice, but my body; my choice and everyone else's body; my choice too. Some people are like selfish 2-year-olds.
The liberals kind of shot themselves in the foot over the whole my body my choice unless it is a vaccine mandate to ruin your life if you do not get it.
