    The Price of Denial: Early Warnings, Arrogant Dismissal, and the Lingering Cost of COVID's Immune Legacy There have been a recent number of articles framing the immune harm from Covid as a new insight. While I am pleased this has entered the mainstream, I am afraid it is too

    If you’re really worried about an mRNA vaccine versus the virus, you should stop right now The virus has much more mRNA, uses it harmfully, and puts it all over your organs

    Guys, let me make it very clear The average adult gets flu once every 5 years Before Omicron, covid was estimated to infect every 16 months Covid dysregulates far more than flu, it infects T cells and depletes dendritic cells What do you think the cumulative effect will be?

    “Long Covid” isn’t some nebulous or psychosomatic thing. The virus hits the brains, lungs, kidneys, and hearts. Causes organ damage and fibrosis. Remains in tissues and causes ongoing inflammation. Hits lymphoid tissue in the gut.

    It looks like Covid suppresses innate immunity toward other viruses and Bacteria This doesn't bode well for the severity of other infections that aren't even covid Think of all the people saying "The worst cold of my life" Mild covid is harming the response to the common cold

    You all need to understand this. The paper not only shows SARS Cov 2 mutating away from immunity But also old infections holding immunity back- immunity is worse off following another infection because of that earlier infection

    This is my opinion on classrooms given the coming Omicron surge for which there are new vaccines in the pipeline

    All the people doubting the lasting immunity harm from Covid is real will soon be wishing it was not real.

    It's not an extreme stance to claim Covid harms the immune system It's an extreme stance to claim it doesn't You all have been hoodwinked

    This is probably the most reason for optimism I have read all year mRNA Vaccinated people do not have the autoimmunity that unvaccinated people get as a result from Covid infection

    This is going to make lots of people angry at me, and I understand If omicron reinfections average six months, and long Covid rates for reinfections remain 10-20%, The rate of long Covid in the USA per lifetime will be over 99.9%

    Many years ago I claimed covid was damaging the immune system I did have confidence it would be consensus soon Now it's in Science, published unequivocally Where are the people that promised it didn't? 10.1126/science.adn1077

    I don't care enough about social norms to stop masking, sorry That quality of mine is why I could get on here in September 2020 and tell you there would be no T-cell mediated herd immunity and that Covid was bad for your immune system
