Vaccination didn't eliminate the increased danger posed by a 2nd infection compared to a 1st infection.
The pattern was the same: Reinfection resulted in a higher risk of PASC for all children and adolescents
Zero mitigation in schools

USA researchers studied 465,717 children and found reinfection doubled the risk of long COVID.
At least 6 million US children may be affected, more than asthma, with symptoms lasting years and no treatment yet.

Harvard researchers analyzed US COVID-19 waves and found that sub-annual spikes every 3–6 months were driven by fast-waning immunity, not just seasonal weather.
Cold states showed annual patterns, but warm regions faced more frequent waves.

If convincing people to get the measles vaccine is ‘slow going’ this calls for a vaccine-PLUS approach.
Kids/Educators/Bus drivers have the right to NOT get infected, especially those at high risk.
Vaccine-PLUS means:
