But keep in mind that Covid-19 still poses a real threat. Research shows that two or more re-infections with Covid-19 double the risk of death, blood clots and lung damage, as well as other health risks. It has been established that the risk of cardiovascular disease increases by 4.5% up to 12 months after infection, regardless of a person’s age, race, gender, weight, smoking or other factors. In addition, the latest outbreaks are fueled by new variants able to evade both vaccination and immunity acquired through previous infection.
The good news is that we still have powerful preventatives at our disposal.
