The Kaposi’s Sarcoma Spike
Frontiers | Distinct characteristics of T cell receptor repertoire associated with the SARS-CoV-2 reinfection
New research shows SARS2 reinfection doesn’t “boost” your immunity - it narrows it. Each infection further imprints and restricts your T-cell diversity, making your immune response less adaptable over time.
Postacute COVID-19 is Characterized by Gut Viral Antigen Persistence in Inflammatory Bowel Diseases
SARS-COV2 COVID at least temporarily causes lymphocytopenia (including T cells) immune suppression. The virus has been found to infect CD8 T cells. HIV AIDS is typically defined by CD4 T cell destruction. This study found COVID infected CD8 T cells.
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.”'
Research: COVID Virus Turns Fighters Into Suppressors
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
Quarterly epidemiological commentary: mandatory Gram-negative bacteraemia, MRSA, MSSA and C. difficile infections (data up to October to December 2024)
Here's really strong evidence of immune damage from COVID among bacterial infections with no vaccines. Look at the sharp climbs in all since 2020.
