Thank you as always for your thoughtful newsletters! Question: you talk about an immunity wall and the primacy of hybrid immunity. But I’m starting to see a lot of studies (or, at least interpretations of studies) that imply Covid infection begets Covid infection (I.e., you are MORE likely to get reinfected if you’ve had it once), which would mean an “immunity wall” is basically impossible. Am I misunderstanding these studies? Am I being gaslit with them by people with an agenda? Are these studies flawed to begin with? I want to believe my kids can live long, healthy lives even if they eventually stop masking. 😬

Your concluding point is important: China may be half-way round the world from the U.S., but we are still all interconnected. Whatever variants evolve in China aren't guaranteed to stay there.
