There’s actually not much data on severity of reinfections and much of the data we have doesn’t suggest a milder course for all. We could just as easily say primary infections are mild on average but the avg isn’t the story. The small % of a large number = many w severe disease.

I went through a year of no, look at the epi, "it can't be the snacks" and, honestly, this has the same issue for me. The epi pattern is clear. The science is clear. They match. It's coherent and complete. So that's hard for me to keep arguing.

I was an early convert to airborne transmission and I fully agreed with you on that then. But being right about airborne spread doesn’t mean you can’t fumble on other topics. You misstepped with delta. And insisting infection immunity can end the pandemic is another misstep.

Let's revisit this in a year and compare it with what you're saying then. Also remember that we already know
#LongCovidisCovid - so counting reinfection outcomes vs single infections must also include delayed hospitalisations (pointing this out in advance). Have a nice day!pic.twitter.com/7MWgO8UaAB

azn was only 80 percent effective against severe disease for delta if I recall correctly. I dont know why she is content to call the pandemic over if people are seropositive.

Hmmm Serial infections with COVID-19 may cause accumulation of systemic damage to immune system, blood vessels and organs. Strongly advise using vaccination rather than infection to seroconvert. Strongly advise against frequent serial infections.

Over a lifetime each reinfection will vary in severity depending on what your immunity is like at the time, including recent or current infections with other viruses, advancing age and accumulating comorbidities (which is likely with COVID-19 infections) and time since last vax.
