“I’ve been accused of being ‘hyperbolic’ for comparing Covid to AIDS. So let’s talk immune damage. With citations. 🧵”
The immunology of long COVID
Victim Has Immune Depletion & Opportunistic Fungal Infection:
To everyone who said "There's no way Long C*vid is like HIV. That's an unhelpful exaggeration." Cool. Please tell that to my negligible immunoglobulins...
COVID-19 leads to long-term changes in the immune system, study shows
This is why there are so many pathogens repeatedly circulating in ways we didn’t see before Covid.
Immune systems can’t fight off the bugs because SarsCov2 damages the immune system.
“COVID-19 leads to considerable long-term changes in the immune system, even in mild cases. The findings could help to better understand the long-term consequences of an infection with SARS-CoV-2.”

Looks like Yale school of public health has finally started to say what I have been repeatedly saying since 2020
