Getting covid a second time after having previously had it (which is what McCullough erroneously claimed was near impossible) is in fact increasingly common.

Of course if you only look at the "variants of concern" that the media talks about you basically have to wait years until you have like 4 or 5 variants that went all around the world to see how common it is for it to mutate in a way that can reinfect, but considering Delta reinfections where common and now Omicron is also reinfecting everyone, I would just not loose any more time listening to McCullough. Note he says its _impossible_, not rare or weird or strange, _impossible_. He actually called bullshit on Rogan because Rogan said his friend got it twice because he got Delta and the first variant.
That is an amazing fact if true and you should alert the CDC immediately with your evidence.
I consider that "a lot" special when compared to McCulloughs prediction of 0.0% because reinfection was impossible.

If he merely claimed they were rare, that would not discredit him.
Very rare and impossible are nearly equivalent wrt policies that broadly and significantly impact personal health and liberty.
Pandemics are very rare. Flying unicorns shooting Ebola out of their horns are impossible.
Are you upset because I hold that view based on observable evidence? Like, genuinely, I'm confused why you're so invested in arguing against me. What's the thing I said that you disagree with? Are you saying that the doctor is a reliable source of medical information despite his entirely unsubstantiated pronouncement that there was no possible way Joe Rogan's friend could have gotten covid twice, and one of those cases must have been influenza or something?
Attack facts and claims, not people.
