1/ COVID: Reinfections: 31% INCREASED risk of Hospital Admission Says Massive New Study—HUGE 8X INCREASE IN REINFECTIONS when Omicron became dominant

For 1st infections they found 19% of cases were associated with hospital admissions,for 2nd 17% (not that different from 1st), however, upon 3rd they found a staggering 25.9% of case associated with admission–a 31% increase in admission from the 1st infection...

Interestingly, they also found a massive increase in reinfection as Omicron started to dominate Nov 2021-January 2022—from less than 500 cases per month to over 4,000 in this period—8x increase in reinfection.

They note however:
'the proportion of all PCR-confirmed cases in VHA in a given month that were reinfections was highest in spring of 2021 (exceeding 85 re-infections for each 1,000 infections in June 2021) and again climbed to approximately 55 re-infections for each 1000..

Meaning that the highest RATE of reinfections occurred in the spring of 2021, while raw numbers of cases show that Omicron period is when the highest number of reinfections occured.

'Given the rapid rise in absolute numbers, the absolute burden of SARS-CoV2 re-infection may become substantial for health systems, caregivers, employers, and their potential infectivity to others.'

The paper provides yet more damning evidence of the murderous 'herd immunity strategy' — alas failing at the first hurdle—no immunity to the virus, as is demonstrated here, far from having protective immunity the opposite looks true.

The VHA study looked only looked at reinfections after 90 days unlike the one above which looked at before 90 days...meaning that many cases of reinfection will have been excluded in the VHA study—though we know that the same pattern OF INCREASED severity will be true
