Plan for a world of post-COVID immune effects
“The average person’s immune system looks different than it did in 2019. We’re walking around with more inflammation, and with immune systems that don’t work quite as well as they did in the beforetimes”
Why scientists are rethinking the immune effects of SARS-CoV-2
Covid weakens your immune system. You are less likely to fight off pathogens and that is why you are “always sick”. '“There has definitely been a change in the character of the immune response since 2019,” says Tim Henrich, immunologist and senior author of the study. “It’s certainly impacting our immune health, and probably our overall health as well.”'

New research from Johns Hopkins finds that white blood cells may be altered by SARS2 to cease their normal function of destroying pathogens in the body and, instead, significantly inhibit other immune cells critical for fighting the virus
