Summarization
Epidemiologists are in agreement that previous infection of Covid-19 provides lasting immunity. This is seen as a positive development with the goal of ending the pandemic, but it is important to understand how immunity may wane over time. There is also discussion about similar conditions and how immunity through infection is viewed for various diseases, with one individual noting that assuming intent and twisting words is not a strong argument.
Topic Modeling

| 1626665891629875201 | @blondiedag @nowthisnews @DrKatEpi Judy Anne Mikovits is a former research scientist who is known for her discredited medical claims. She has engaged in anti-vaccination activism, promoted conspiracy theories, and been accused of scientific misconduct. She has made false claims about vaccines, COVID-19, and CFS. | 1 |

| 1627119067495555078 | @snorman1776 @TheEliKlein @DrKatEpi Lol. Thanks troll. You obviously don’t understand excess death. COVID deaths have consistently been undercounted. The only ones that believe otherwise are the grifters and their sheep. | 1 |

| 1627104465974165504 | @DrKatEpi You didn’t write “against infection” before, so nice try, but sorry! Having Covid does generally confer lasting immunity, otherwise we would be in a permanent pandemic. This shouldn’t be so complicated for you, as an epidemiologist… | 282 |
| 1627116197673140224 | @ianfmusgrave @DrKatEpi No, from the context she’s more likely referring to immunity against severe disease and comparing natural immunity to vaccine immunity. Stop lying, let the epidemiologists do that. | 73 |
| 1627112579972861952 | @TheEliKlein @DrKatEpi She didn’t have to, it’s obvious from the context. all immunity wanes, and all immunity to infection wanes, we have been spoiled by the measles vaccine, in that immunity to infection lasts a *really* long time. | 49 |

| 1627086291732164609 | @DrKatEpi @TheEliKlein Dr. Kat, how do you define “lasting,” and how do you think the average person defines it? Let’s start with this frame of reference: 90% protection up to 10 months after infection. | 43 |
| 1627105100937175042 | @TheEliKlein @DrKatEpi We’re still in a pandemic. You are a great example of someone with an inverse ratio of confidence to knowledge. Go to school, graduate, work in science and then maybe you won’t be so bad at understanding the science you try to read. Stop dunninging all over yourself bud. | 43 |
| 1627189470230376455 | @ianfmusgrave @TheEliKlein @DrKatEpi It is virtually 0. The fact a very small subset may be at risk is not the definition of “kids are at risk of severe disease from COVID.” We do not define based on the exceptions. | 39 |
| 1624194847362908163 | @DrKatEpi @angie_rasmussen Houston Health Department confirmed no cases! https://t.co/mqPaKCLb2b | 39 |
| 1627119378582970369 | @ianfmusgrave @TheEliKlein @DrKatEpi Which is not relevant to the topic at hand. Read closely. Children are not at risk for severe disease, and prior infection DOES provide lasting immunity. https://t.co/TsmGD50uo7 | 39 |
