>Reinfections were uncommon among previously infected persons over a 9-month period that preceded widespread variant circulation. Seropositivity decreased reinfection risk. Lower reinfection risk associated with exposure to a household member with COVID-19 may reflect subsequently reduced household transmission."


I live in an over 55 community. Most way over 55. So far we've had no COVID deaths. The board has done of a good job enforcing distancing and masks. Everyone I know has been vaccinated and boostered.

So - let's get this right - you're suggesting that my friends and I who are over 70 and dealing with COPD and heart disease, instead of being vaccinated and boostered, should have contracted COVId?
