Ich habe mal ChatGPT gefragt, was passiert, wenn man mehrere SARS-CoV2 Infektionen hatte.
Hier die Antwort von ChatGPT👇
Kurzfassung: Mehrfache SARS-CoV-2-Infektionen sind nicht harmlos. Auch wenn viele Verläufe mild sind, steigt mit jeder erneuten Infektion das kumulative Risiko für Folgeprobleme. Im Detail: 1) Akute Erkrankung Die Schwere einzelner Infektionen kann stark variieren - auch die 8. Infektion kann wieder schwer verlaufen. Frühere Infektionen oder Impfungen schützen nicht zuverlässig vor Komplikationen, sondern meist nur vor sehr schweren Verläufen. 2) Long-COVID / Post-COVID Das Risiko für Long-COVID steigt mit jeder Infektion. Typische Beschwerden: Erschöpfung (Fatigue) Konzentrations-/Gedächtnisstörungen (,,Brain Fog") Konzentrations-/Gedächtnisstörungen (,,Brain Fog") Atemnot, Belastungsintoleranz Herzrhythmusstörungen Auch milde oder „asymptomatische" Infektionen können Long-COVID auslösen. Acht Infektionen bedeuten ein deutlich erhöhtes kumulatives Risiko, selbst wenn einzelne Infektionen folgenlos waren. 3) Organschäden (subklinisch oder klinisch) Wiederholte Infektionen erhöhen das Risiko für: Herz: Myokarditis, Endothelschäden, erhöhtes Infarktrisiko Gefäße: Gerinnungsstörungen, Mikrothromben Lunge: Einschränkung der Diffusionskapazität Nervensystem: kognitive Defizite, autonome Dysfunktion Diese Schäden können unbemerkt entstehen und sich erst später zeigen. 4) Immunsystem SARS-CoV-2 kann das Immunsystem vorübergehend dysregulieren. Mehrfache Infektionen können zu: erhöhter Infektanfälligkeit Reaktivierung latenter Viren (z. B. EBV) führen. Kein „klassischer" Immundefekt, aber eine funktionelle Schwächung ist beschrieben. 5) Sterblichkeit und Gesamtgesundheit Studien zeigen: Jede weitere Infektion erhöht das Risiko für Hospitalisierung, Folgeerkrankungen und Tod - additiv, nicht linear, aber messbar. Besonders relevant bei: höherem Alter Herz-/Lungenerkrankungen Diabetes, Adipositas Rauchern 6) Impfstatus Impfungen senken das Risiko für schwere Verläufe und Long-COVID, eliminieren es aber nicht. Auch Geimpfte können bei wiederholten Infektionen kumulative Schäden entwickeln. Fazit Acht SARS-CoV-2-Infektionen bedeuten: kein Automatismus für schwere Krankheit, aber ein klar erhöhtes Gesamt- und Langzeitrisiko für Long-COVID, Organ- und Gefäßschäden. Corona ist keine harmlose Erkältung, wenn es immer wieder auftritt.

World’s First Vaccine Targeting the Entire SARS Coronavirus Family Begins Human Testing

GBP511, developed by UW Medicine and tested by SK Bioscience, aims to protect against #COVID-19 and future coronaviruses before they spark the next pandemic

www.ipd.uw.edu/2026/02/gbp5...

"GBP511 is the first vaccine to reach human testing that is intended to protect against multiple strains of the virus that causes COVID-19 as well as related coronaviruses with the potential to spark dangerous outbreaks,” said Neil King, associate professor of biochemistry at UW Medicine and co-inventor of the nanoparticle platform underlying the vaccine. “This clinical trial is an important step toward broadly protective vaccines, and we are grateful for our partners at SK bioscience for developing the vaccine and CEPI for their visionary support of it.” What are sarbecoviruses? Three major disease outbreaks in the past two decades — SARS, MERS, and COVID-19 — have been caused by coronaviruses. Sarbecoviruses are a subgenus of coronaviruses that includes SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19), the original SARS-CoV virus, and numerous bat coronaviruses with pandemic potential. UW Medicine biochemists Neil King, PhD, (left) and David Veesler, PhD, (right) have been studying coronaviruses and vaccines since before the COVID-19 pandemic. How it works The vaccine’s core is a computer-designed protein particle — a precise molecular assembly that does not exist in nature. To turn this tiny object into a vaccine, scientists at UW Medicine attached four receptor-binding domains (RBDs) from different coronaviruses — two from SARS-CoV-2, one from SARS-CoV-1, and one from a bat coronavirus (BtKY72) — on the surface. “The beauty of this approach is that by presenting the immune system with multiple related antigens at once, we can train it to recognize features that are conserved across the entire sarbecovirus family,” said David Veesler, professor of biochemistry at UW Medicine and Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator, who led the preclinical studies. “That’s exactly what you need to prepare for unpredictable future threats.” In preclinical studies, GBP511 protected animals from related viruses they weren’t directly immunized against.

Airborne viruses spread more easily in poorly ventilated spaces - whether healthcare facilities, classrooms, shops, or offices, high-quality HEPA filtration could help reduce its spread.
Independent weekly chart report below - probably longest sequence of England COVID data reported in log format.
Aerosol transmission of SARSCoV2 virus is the dominant route for transmitting COVID-19. The reality is that airborne viruses spread more easily in poorly ventilated spaces, whether in healthcare facilities, classrooms, shops, or offices, high-quality HEPA filtration could help bring down transmission! Important to note this prestigious award:👏'2025 Faraday Horizon Prize for advancing understanding of the physicochemical properties of exhaled aerosols, and their impact on transmissibility of respiratory pathogens.' @rsc.org Chart below independently produced using official data (see sources below). Chart reported each week since data reporting began early in 2020.

News Release 27-Jan-2026 COVID-19 viral fragments shown to target and kill specific immune cells in UCLA-led study Clues about extreme cases and omicron’s effects come from a cross-disciplinary international research team Peer-Reviewed Publication California NanoSystems Institute FacebookXLinkedInWeChatBlueskyMessageWhatsAppEmail Fragments of digested protein image: A UCLA-led international research team showed that fragments of digested proteins from the virus behind COVID-19 can attack certain immune cells that have spiky shapes, such as the T cell above. view more Credit: Figure adapted from Yue Zhang et al, PNAS 2026 New research shows that after the body’s defenses kill the virus behind COVID-19, leftover digested chunks of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein can target specific immune cells based on their shape. The revelations could explain why certain populations of cells that detect and fight infection are depleted in patients with severe COVID-19, and shed light on the omicron variant’s milder symptoms. The study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, may launch a line of inquiry that informs new strategies for quelling the most serious symptoms of COVID-19. Led by a UCLA team, the scientific collaboration comprises nearly three dozen engineers, microbiologists, immunologists, chemists, physicists, medical researchers and analytical experts.

We must treat the school situation as it really is, the government is stuck pre 2020. We are not prior or post COVID. We now have constantly circulating SARSCoV2 which is airborne and damages organs. Policy must reflect research and the many millions of children globally suffering so much!

@ashleydaltonmp.bsky.social The Lancet study clearly showed that failure to rest can cause long COVID and yet school attendance policy remains unbending with no reflection on the reality of the situation we are now in. The government is carrying on like COVID is like a cold! It’s not!

Capture d'écran d'un article de B. Perrier, publié sur le site de Blast le 26 mars 2022, et relayant la désinformation de Jean Marc Sabatier. Tweet de Jean Marc Sabatier, 12 janvier 2025: “Livre "Covid long et effets indésirables du vaccin. Les mécanismes biologiques et les traitements prometteurs." Merci à Louis Fouché”. Le message est accompagné d'une photo de L. Fouché montrant le livre, et d'un lien avec le site amazon. Tweet de ME Pech, 11 décembre 2024 : "A lire. @BricePerrier rappelle justement l’intérêt tout particulier des journalistes français pour l’anthroposophie: l’essentiel de leurs questions/demandes concernent ce mouvement. Loin devant la scientologie par exemple." Le message est accompagné d'un retweet de celui de B.

Aerosol transmission of SARSCoV2 virus is now widely recognised as the dominant route for transmitting COVID-19, but appropriate use of effective face coverings, ventilation and vaccination are still limited.
Moreover, the full impact of Long COVID significantly remains one of our greatest unknowns.
