“You’re going to see a lot of immune failure and weird infections in young people over the next 5-10 years

It will start to pickup significantly in 2026”

“COVID-19 disrupts immune system function, leading to both acute damage and long-term dysregulation.

The infection is associated with severe lymphopenia, particularly affecting T cells and natural killer cells, which can persist long after recovery.”

Covid and the immune system

A large-scale sample of Covid survivors and controls with a negative Covid test, showed Covid survivors were more prone to infections like bacterial infections and herpesviruses reactivation in the 12 month post Covid

“In 2020 I claimed covid infections and reinfections would cause T cell exhaustion and harm to T cells

Now, to my minimal surprise, the head of the american association of immunology has published the very hypothesis disparaged and called nonsense below; that covid harms the immune systems T cells and exhausts them.

I faced relentless attacks from many individuals. After two years of warning about immune harm and publishing opinions, my claim landed on the desk of Vincent Raccaniello, supposed “worlds virology professor” (a pretentious title) who dismissed it as Twitter nonsense in 2022

Vincent Rajkumar, the editor of blood, claimed it was nonsense.

Then Carlos Del Rio, the medical advisor to entities in the airline industry, said I could not even call myself an immunologist.

The abuse of me and my reputation continued.

Zeynep Tufekci, an editor at the new York times called me names and went as far as calling me crazy, saying “dolphins” whispered my opinions to me on covid’s immune harm.

She quotes, “Exhaustion? Not a thing.”

I faced utter disrespect and maliciousness.

“Someone” threatened a New York Times opinion editorial to the National Institutes of Health, where I was working at the time, claiming that I was a crank eroding trust in science for claiming covid harms the immune system. This is documented in emails.

They also went after Johns Hopkins. I was told I was no longer permitted to publish such opinions after the Dean was intimidated.

I hope they enjoy their reward. The reward is written testimony by their own hand of their wrongness to be displayed for all time on a matter of such great importance.

Their opinion wasn’t worthless, but rather it was the opposite of helpful. It was harmful. All their expertise only made the impact of an incorrect opinion greater.

I sacrificed career prospects and happiness. For some time, every Professor that wanted to downplay immunological harm from covid would virtue signal by attacking me. I say again, they say the T cells will save us, but who will save the t cells?”

Here is a hypothesis that Covid harms NK cells

These cells kill circulating cancer cells and precancerous cells

NK dysfunction limit immune system control of precancer and cancer cells.

SARS-CoV-2 infects human CD4+ T helper cells by binding its spike glycoprotein to the CD4 molecule, impairing cell function and potentially causing cell death.

This mechanism involves the interaction of the virus with both CD4 and ACE2 receptors.
