Just read an article about reinfection https://www.news-medical.net/news/20221031/Italian-study-evaluates-COVID-19-reinfection-risk-among-previously-infected-and-vaccinated-individuals.aspx
There's nothing particularly noteworthy about the numbers, though it does show natural immunity to be better. However this line in the background section is funny:
"Although disease mitigation measures suggested by the World Health Organization (WHO), such as lockdowns and mask-wearing, were effective, they have not significantly reduced transmission and mortality."
In what way can these measures be called "effective" if they have not significantly reduced transmission and mortality?
