“So I did what the journalist should have done. I went looking for some data. We all know that doctors and nurses and everyone else in healthcare are sicker now than five years ago, right? I mean, you do, don't you? That across all the massive workforce of the NHS, sickness absence rates are now 25% higher than the pre-pandemic average? Right?”

So I did what the journalist should have done. I went looking for some data. We all know that doctors and nurses and everyone else in healthcare are *sicker now than five years ago*, right? I mean, you do, don't you? That across all the massive workforce of the NHS, sickness absence rates are now 25% higher than the pre-pandemic average? Right?

JCI - Long COVID is associated with lower percentages of mature, cytotoxic NK cell phenotypes
JCI - Long COVID is associated with lower percentages of mature, cytotoxic NK cell phenotypes

UCSF study of 35 people with Long COVID had fewer mature NK cells 4 months after infection.

Lower NK cell levels linked to more symptoms like fatigue and brain fog.

NK cells clear infected cells, which may explain lasting symptoms.

HIV/AIDS and Long COVID are Very Similar
HIV/AIDS and Long COVID are Very Similar
“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.”

"Upon physical activity, affected patients exhibit reduced systemic oxygen extraction & oxidative phosphorylation capacity.. these are mediated by dysfunctions in mitochondria & microcirculation.. maintained by.. immune activation."
