COVID Reinfection Can Be Dangerous Signal of Weakened Immunity–Here’s What to Do
COVID-19 infections and reinfections can create a vicious cycle, but there are ways to break the cycle by focusing holistically on strengthening our immunity.
Over 80 percent of Americans have decided against getting the latest COVID-19 booster, yet as winter approaches, they also don’t want to get reinfected with COVID-19.
While some people never get infected or are able to quickly recover with no lingering symptoms, for many, a COVID-19 infection or reinfection has become a vicious cycle. How can we avoid reinfection and break out of this pattern?
Our Immunity Has a Pattern
A Harvard, Yale, Columbia, and Oxford study published in Nature Communications in October identified 71 individuals with two well-sampled SARS-CoV-2 infections out of 94,812 viral samples. Researchers found that those who cleared infections quickly after the first infection also cleared the virus quickly the second time. The samples were taken from players, staff, and affiliates of the National Basketball Association between March 11, 2020, and July 28, 2022.
