There's no guarantee that it won't kill you, or simply have enough severe effects you lose your medical either temporarily or permanently. It looks less likely to have severe effects or kill you, I understand, as there is some protection based on the first infection, although that appears to decrease with time and is an active area of research. That said, while there aren't large numbers of deaths among the reinfection groups in studies that I have seen, there are certainly covid fatalities due to reinfection.
If you've survived one car accident (as most people do), would you recommend getting in a second car accident based on the survival rate of the first?
