re-infection is rare if at all and usually a matter of sub-optimal interpretation of PCR...Natural immunity has NOT been breached by omicron, we have no evidence of this.
Thanks for this, Doctor Alexander. Having just recovered from COVID I'm very interested in this question.
I note that in the Colson et al. case you note above, the patient's second positive PCR test occurred in a routine investigation and was not accompanied by any symptoms. Do we know if the viral matter picked up by the PCR was actually infectious? It would seem to me that he may have had picked up some viral DNA that was being shed around him without ever getting infected by it (i.e. not actually a reinfection).
As you and Dr. McCullough note, most of these claims to reinfection are leaning heavily on PCR positivity (which could be finding environmental viral DNA and not actually be catching a true infection, right?). Like Dr. McCullough suggests, finding reports of reinfection where both positive PCRs are associated with infection symptoms and where the two cases can be shown to be different viral strains is virtually impossible in the literature, no?
Great article, thanks for posting. I too am skeptical about Omicron breaching acquired immunity. Omicron has quite a few mutations but most of its genome is unaffected. We know that SARS CoV1 infection confers considerable protection against SARS CoV2 decades later and there is a 20% difference in the genome between the two. This bodes well for those of us with a history of Covid 19 infection.
If natural immunity was breached by omicon, that would have been caused by the vaccines. Why do you think they denied basic science re natural immunity in order to jab them for? To weaken it! It has been shown that the vaccine compromised the immune systems.
