1. In millions of trials, yes, sure, there are always outliers

One thing to avoid is freaking out over stuff like “there are two reported cars where..” whatever.

When something happens a couple million times, then there are a couple “one in a million” occurrences.

So, sure, if one in ten thousand people could get it twice, then it has happened quite a few times already.

“Rare” means “rare”. In a large number of trials, it also means “certain to occur”.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

No, but the fact that most others who recover don't get it again is certainly suggestive. Jedi Guy Mar 2020 #11
