We played by the rules, it clearly came from classmates the first time around and not one person fessed up to having it earlier or getting it after a birthday party hours before DS learned he had it in which a number of kids, not mine, were unmasked.

And now same deal. Tons of kids too sick to play games at swim practice or eat treats at other neighborhood events but their parents swear they don't have it .... just keep infecting everyone else.

I think you will feel more at peace if you just look at illness as a random occurrence and don't try to assign blame. There is really no way to know where your kid got it from.

An Israeli found that prior infection protected 80% of children against reinfection for 18+ months (and 90% for the first 3-6 months post-infection). British surveillance observed a reinfection rate of 21·53 cases per 100,000 children.

However, it seems like the virus is mutating more quickly and, naturally, the variants that successfully gain a foothold among highly vaccinated communities are the ones that are able to evade vaccine protection. (Likewise, different variants will likely arise in parts of the world with high levels of natural immunity and low levels of vaccination to get around immunity from prior infection.) Everybody I know who has been reinfected in the past 6 months has been vaccinated and boosted, which is either a reflection of my social group, or an indication that the successful variants in this area are the ones that can evade the vaccine. OP, it would be interesting to know whether or not your child is vaccinated-- if not, that is a good indication that we also have variants that are evolving around immunity from prior infection.
