   "On the face of it, it doesn’t make sense. Once you get infected by a pathogen, your body should be better prepared to deal with it the next time it comes around, but instead of being better at fighting off the invader, people with long COVID are getting more hammered by it the second (or third or fourth) time around."

     Is it really so difficult to understand that people with #LongCOVID would want to avoid a re-infection with the same virus, after they already had a bad outcome from an earlier infection. Especially when in 78% of such re-infections the symptoms tend to get worse?

     Not only are we getting ignored, gaslit, psychosomatised and sometimes even ridiculed, but to then also expose us to the risk of a re-infection, that feels like getting collectively abandoned all over again.
