“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?”
