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.”

How the XEC Variant Pushes the Boundaries of Immune Evasion—and What It Means for Our Health
“The recently published study on the XEC variant (November 22, 2024) provides fresh insights into how this virus is evolving. (1) Combining this with the broader history of immune evasion, we see a troubling pattern: the virus continues to find ways to evade the immune system and in many cases, persist, potentially leaving lasting impacts on our health even for those who experience only mild or asymptomatic infections.”
Looks like Yale school of public health has finally started to say what I have been repeatedly saying since 2020

1) covid creates longlasting autoimmunity by harming t regs 2) harms adaptive immunity 3) causes immune dysregulation 4) persists etc”
Immune Parallels: HIV/AIDS & Long COVID’s Lasting Impact
“Immune Parallels: HIV/AIDS & Long COVID’s Lasting Impact
HIV/AIDS & COVID-19, particularly long COVID, share several significant similarities, especially in terms of viral persistence, T cell damage, immune system dysfunction, & activation of other pathogens. These parallels are important for understanding the long-term effects of both infections and their impact on the immune system…” A thread:
SARS-CoV-2 infection and persistence in the human body and brain at autopsy
"We... conclusively demonstrate that SARS-CoV-2 is capable of infecting and replicating within [the heart, lymph nodes, small intestine, adrenal glands] and many other tissues, including brain... as late as 230 days following symptom onset..."
I've been saying this since Mar 2020, when COVID caused lymphocytopenia in the first month of my infection. Once I was finally able to get a lymphocytes subsets panel in Dec 2020, I shared my knowledge but couldn't find an audience who'd listen. No one wanted to believe
