@LiamThorpECHO A big part of your immune system (plasmacytoid dendritic cells) is missing after a COVID infection for at least 7 months - possibly for longer than that. No surprise that an increasingly immunodeficient population is frequently sick.

@keetmuise We already know that COVID patients are missing dendritic cells in their blood, and that they are up-regulated and collecting in the gut: this is bad, as it is principal driver in the progression to AIDS after HIV. But the damage to CD8+ cells is markedly worse than HIV… 1/

@Talshumy1 @keetmuise That’s what he’s being told by his scientific advisors (who deny the facts presented above, they are too painful to accept). It is true that the acute disease is usually mild, but most of the harms are in the chronic infection (as you know) that happens over time.

@limits_stop @RadCentrism @RPLerias We are now finding early indications (from autopsies of non-COVID deaths) that the bone marrow is chronically infected. It would not be unreasonable to assume that the progression towards AIDS is occurring in many.

Why is there no real effort spent on determining the source of spike persistence in #longcovid ? We already know an immuno-privileged site that harbors spike protein *months* after initial COVID infection = bone marrow Why has no one identified the cell line in the marrow that

@JamesThrot I’d like to believe this, but I’ve seen most deny their poor health all the way to the end (ie death). Only if they are completely hobbled by long Covid (ie bedridden) would they accept that they are now disabled.

@maosbot The culture will eventually be forced to change due to circumstances. It already changed once in 2021 (for the worse), whereby we now accept both being infected and infecting others. This doesn't work with a virus that causes immune deficiency, so we will have to change again.

@crr7310 Do you mind sharing (roughly, no specifics necessary) where you are seeing this? Seeing a small rise in cases here in Switzerland, but not a large wave yet.

@GabrielBauman The magic of Novavax requires at least 3 months (preferably more) between shots - this is how long it takes you to develop fully matured memory B-cell responses. If you want pan-variant protection, there is no way out - this is my plan today.

@Emilitaa23 @SocialFuzzer Novavax themselves are running a trial with 2x shots 5 months apart for those previously vaccinated with 2-3x mRNA. This would strongly suggest it’s ok to wait - at the very least, this is Novavax’s own hypothesis.

@inkblue01 This strongly corroborates the study we saw yesterday suggesting weak antibody responses upon a second COVID infection. We may have lost vaccines entirely at this point. 🤯

This is fascinating work. We need to acknowledge that clearly some individuals have persistent viral reservoirs AND if that includes the bone marrow in SOME with mild or moderate disease (yet to be proven but likely based on this study) that has profound implications.

@GrGuenter Ein weiterer Zufall ist, dass sich das CD4/CD8-Verhältnis (eine bekannte Ursache für Autoimmunität) nach COVID ebenfalls umkehrt, und natürlich auch die CD4+-Zellen langsam abnehmen.

@1goodtern There are endless stories like the one below, and it's also being covered in the media. Unlike the West, Indian doctors/scientists are more willing to make the connection to COVID and not lockdown/vaccine harms (🙄)

I am trying to find a Covid aware paediatrician in my city at a reputed hospital for my child; I think most doctors are not acknowledging the immune damage Covid does so panic doesn’t set in among parents; but many doctors in my city (& other states seen on SM) are

@Ashtonica @keetmuise AIDS deaths starts at year 4 following HIV in Africa (~80% survival rate). So you should see it in a huge country like India. I am assuming at least a similar progression, and not accounting for multiple infections and worse CD8+ damage.

@ejustin46 A large proportion of the population, following multiple COVID infections, is missing plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) in their blood. PDCs are the key immune cells in defending against diseases like COVID, dengue, RSV, Strep A and influenza (see a pattern)?

@SalvMattera The virus uses molecular mimicry to evade the immune system - in other words, it looks just like human proteins. More specifically: blood cells. This causes your immune system to develop antibodies against itself and why you see heart issues/clotting.
