  1. Effect of wild-type #vaccine doses on #BA5 hybrid #immunity, disease #severity, and #XBB #reinfection risk

    Source: Journal of Virology, ABSTRACTVaccination against the wild-type (WT) severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus did not produce detectable levels of neutralizing antibodies (NAbs) against the BA.5 strain before it emerged. However, coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) severity varied highly between unvaccinated, partially vaccinated,…

  2. Preventing a #COVID infection is the only way to prevent #LongCOVID. Each COVID-19 #reinfection increases your chances of developing #LongCOVID. Each infection can be different. Do not use past infection experiences to make decisions about your level or risk for #LongCOVID. It is irrelevant.

  3. A friendly reminder.

    #SARS2 #Reinfection is not benign, every reinfection carries additional, compounding risk.

    #Vaccination reduces mortality risk, but *it does not eliminate it*, and for some outcomes, does not change the hazard ratio.

    These are the statistics that justify why you should continue to #WearARespirator in the face of our current lassez-faire repeating #massInfection policy.

  4. "#Omicron #reinfection is high, but with lower severity than first infections; reinfection risk is likely driven as much by viral evolution as #waning #immunity"
    #COVID19
    -don't forget *viral change* (so that it escapes past immunity) is a key driving factor, not just "waning immunity".

  5. CW: Covid-related family problems

    Yep, lost that battle. All the family now #Covid positive. I'll focus on #nursing my #vulnerable child which I shielded for two years but, before I leave, here's a heartfelt "Fcuk You!!!" to Covid #minimizers. If we had been allowed #HomeOffice none of this would have happened. I blame in-person fanaticism at #university for this - that academic institutions should choose to ignore #science ! And yet 2022 here we are.
    I hope to pull through. #LongCovid #reinfection
