this article is medical malpractice.

cyclist gets covid.

8 months later, he gets covid again! oh no, there is no resistance!

wrong. he did not "get covid again." he tested + via PCR again. he had no symptoms and felt fine.

that's not "covid" https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-pro-cyclist-who-caught-covid-twice-11606919308

it's a non-clinical false +. sure, he probably had some covid RNA in his system. was it live? could it be cultured? how many PCR cycles did it take to find?

you can find covid in anyone if you use a sensitive enough assay. does not mean they are sick or could infect others.

if we tested for flu the same obsessively crazy way we test for covid you'd see stuff like this all the time.

resistance does not mean you'll never come in contact or have any virus in your blood or sputum. it means you will not get sick.

high Ct PCR cannot tell the difference

your immune system now knows how to kill the pathogen quickly and easily. you're not going to get sick or spread disease. but you might, by chance, have some virus not yet killed or fragments of already dead virus in your system at any given time.

it's not dangerous or even relevant.

it's utterly normal and poses no risk to anyone. you'd never even notice it nor would anyone else if you were not being tested obsessively with vastly over-sensitive assays.

this is a failure of testing protocol, not immunity durability.

this is known, knowable, and had been widespread knowledge in the public sphere for 6 months. even the NYT wrote on it.

how can the @WSJ be this far behind the curve?

flat out embarrassed for them.

this is alarmist pseudoscientific drivel.

they should retract it.
