Repeat COVID is riskier than first infection, study finds

Thu, November 10, 2022 at 8:03 AM

By Nancy Lapid (Reuters) -

The risk of death, hospitalization and serious health issues from COVID-19 jumps significantly with reinfection compared with a first bout with the virus, regardless of vaccination status, a study published on Thursday suggests.

"Reinfection with COVID-19 increases the risk of both acute outcomes and long COVID," said Dr. Ziyad Al-Aly of Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. "This was evident in unvaccinated, vaccinated and boosted people."

The findings were drawn from U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) data collected from March 1, 2020 through April 6, 2022 on 443,588 patients with one SARS-CoV-2 infection, 40,947 with two or more infections, and 5.3 million noninfected individuals. Most of the study subjects were male.
Reinfected patients had a more than doubled risk of death and a more than tripled risk of hospitalization compared with those who were infected with COVID just once.

They also had elevated risks for problems with lungs, heart, blood, kidneys, diabetes, mental health, bones and muscles, and neurological disorders, according to a report published in Nature Medicine.
"Even if one had prior infection and was vaccinated - meaning they had double immunity from prior infection plus vaccines - they are still susceptible to adverse outcomes upon reinfection," Al-Aly, the study leader, said.

People in the study with repeat infections were more than three times more likely to develop lung problems, three times more likely to suffer heart conditions and 60% more likely to experience neurological disorders than patients who had been infected only once. The higher risks were most pronounced in the first month after reinfection but were still evident six months later, researchers found.

Experts not involved with the study said the VA population does not reflect the general population.
Patients at VA health facilities are generally older, sicker people and often men, a group that would typically have more than normal health complications, said John Moore, a professor of microbiology and immunology at Weill Cornell Medical College in New York.

The researchers said cumulative risks and burdens of repeat infection increased with the number of infections, even after accounting for differences in COVID-19 variants such as Delta, Omicron and BA.5.

However, Dr. Celine Gounder, an infectious disease epidemiologist and an editor-at-large at Kaiser Health News, said there seemed to be a "plateauing effect with multiple infections," with less of a jump in risk after the second infection.

"The good news there is that the better people are protected with immunity, likely the risk of developing some of the complications will be lower over time," she added.
Still, Al-Aly cautioned that people should not let their guard down.

"We had started seeing a lot of patients coming to the clinic with an air of invincibility," he told Reuters. "They wondered, 'Does getting a reinfection really matter?'
The answer is yes, it absolutely does."

Ahead of the fast approaching holiday season with travel and indoor gatherings, "people should be aware that reinfection is consequential and should take precautions," he added.

Affirmative action fail from the stupidest Supreme



John Bursch, senior counsel and vice president of appellate advocacy at ADF, said when the application was filed that “these city heroes have dedicated their lives to serving their neighbors and keeping their city running safely and efficiently, yet New York City officials suspended and fired them because they cannot take the COVID-19 vaccine without violating their sincere religious beliefs.

“But for athletes, entertainers, and strippers, the city found a way to loosen its mandate.”

Just a side note from personal experience this past week.

The lady I hired as a caregiver for Mom who helps me out weekdays so I can get my day job done, told me this. (She’s very experienced in elderly care)

She has another older woman she helps on weekends. This woman has a close friend who helps out as well.
The friend is 77 years old going on 30, completely independent, much like my Mom was before the jab gave her a stroke.

Anyway, to make a long story short, the friend got her booster 2 weeks ago, was admitted to the hospital 5 days later with what turns out to be Guillain-Barré syndrome. Severe. On vent, huge pain and my caregiver is helping her with last wishes, and connecting her with hospice.

My gal asks her doctor, do ya think the jab had anything to do with it?
Doc won’t answer the question.
She presses him on it and he shakes his head and says “I can’t go there”

China is on lock-down - Apple iPhone sales stale due to manufacturing issues
Austrailia enters its 4th COVID Wave
Did I mention that the Indian Government banned the export of wheat flour due to the crisis in Ukraine?
Good luck finding whole wheat in your grocery stores ;)
The only thing you'll find is processed flour and enriched flour - all predisposing factors to a weakened immune system, diabetes, high blood pressure, early stages of Alzheimer's / Dementia - all clinically proven

And we are supposed to trust what these people say they find? Sounds like the fox guarding the henhouse. Maybe Fauci will give them a hand in their "research".
Absolutely ..

Certainly Foxes guarding the Hen House .. this is why originally the Founding Fathers wanted MANY factions battling in the congress .. not just basically 2 in the USA ..

We really need to try to keep a more balanced system ..

Protection From 4th Dose Of COVID Vaccine Wanes Completely Within Months: Study


Effectiveness of the fourth dose against infection started at just 52 percent during the first five weeks after administration and dropped to negative 2 percent at 15 to 26 weeks. A growing number of studies have detected negative effectiveness, which means the vaccinated are more likely to get infected.

Pfizer did not respond to a request for comment.
