My wife and I have had it twice, so I don't know where that fallacy comes from.
In addition, it has been noted that not all people that get covid get antibodies. Studies show up to 36% do not develop antibodies. This is why doctors recommend that patients who recover from covid get vaccinated when they're able.
There's no evidence of anyone catching and spreading Covid twice.
There was a freedom of information act request to force the CDC to give all documented cases of Covid recovered people who then went on to spread it after having already recovered.
They couldn't provide a single one. None were documented. They have to publicly admit it.
It took one Google search to disprove your argument. We’re still waiting for a reputable study that proves people who have natural immunity haven’t been reinfected and spread it to other people.
https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseases/coronavirus/covid-natural-immunity-what-you-need-to-know A study published in August 2021 indicates that if you had COVID-19 before and are not vaccinated, your risk of getting re-infected is more than two times higher than for those who got vaccinated after having COVID-19.
Another study published on Nov. 5, 2021, by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) looked at adults hospitalized for COVID-like sickness between January and September 2021. This study found that the chances of these adults testing positive for COVID-19 were 5.49 times higher in unvaccinated people who had COVID-19 in the past than they were for those who had been vaccinated for COVID and had not had an infection before.
A study from the CDC in September 2021 showed that roughly one-third of those with COVID-19 cases in the study had no apparent natural immunity.
Delta variant and future coronavirus variants: Hospitalizations of people with severe COVID-19 soared over the late summer and into fall as the delta variant moved across the country. People infected with earlier versions of the coronavirus and who haven’t been vaccinated might be more vulnerable to new mutations of the coronavirus such as those found in the delta variant. To date, the authorized vaccines provide protection from serious disease or death due to all currently circulating coronavirus variants.
Even if your own infection is mild, you can spread it to others who may have severe illness and death.
This isn't saying what you think it is. Notice the bolded? Guess what else is "covid-like"? The flu or another coronavirus aka cold. Humans get sick and people with poor immune systems get sick more often.
The CDC did actually acknowledge they haven't detected any cases in which someone had a provable case of covid and then were infected with another provable case of covid. The FOIA request he's referring to is publicly available.
https://www.swfinstitute.org/news/89518/foia-cdc-admits-no-record-of-unvaccinated-person-spreading-covid-after-recovering-from-covidI don't think "never" is a scientific term so I won't say it can never happen but it's so radically unlikely and the false-positives from pcr testing is much more likely, some studies indicated that false positives can make up anywhere from 1-15% of cases. It's very possible someone just has the flu (which magically disappeared last year) took a pcr test, got a false positive and was under the impression they had covid again.
Mods this isn't off-topic or political, this is the science and how it informs the current NBA situation, specifically with players that have already had covid and recovered - but if you prefer we don't discuss this at this level , please quote and just a reminder would be appreciated.
