443,588 people with a first infection of SARS-CoV-25.3 million people who had not been infected with coronavirus, whose data served as the control group
“During the past few months, there’s been an air of invincibility among people who have had COVID-19 or their vaccinations and boosters, and especially among people who have had an infection and also received vaccines; some people started to [refer] to these individuals as having a sort of superimmunity to the virus,” Al-Aly said in afrom the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis.
Being infected with COVID-19 more than once also dramatically increased the risk of developing lung problems, heart conditions or brain conditions. The heightened risks persisted for six months.An expert not involved in the study told Reuters that the Veterans Affairs population does not reflect the general population.

Repeat COVID is riskier than first infection, study finds(Reuters) -The risk of death, hospitalization and serious health issues from COVID-19 jumps significantly with reinfection compared with a first bout with the virus, regardless of vaccination status, a study published on Thursday suggests. 'Reinfection with COVID-19 increases the risk of both acute outcomes and long COVID,' said Dr. Ziyad Al-Aly of Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. The findings were drawn from U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) data collected from March 1, 2020 through April 6, 2022 on 443,588 patients with one SARS-CoV-2 infection, 40,947 with two or more infections, and 5.3 million noninfected individuals.
