Covid-19 opens up your immune defense for further infections.
Det sker mycket i kroppen när man får Covid-19, och långcovid innebär att det inte tar slut, utan förvärras ofta med tiden. Här här en norsk genomgång.
Declining levels of T-cells, infection after infection, declining health, weird skin cancer, pneumonia that won’t resolve even with tons of antibiotics; does it sound familiar? We might be looking at this again, 40 years after the AIDS-epidemic hit USA and Western Europe…
Immunological dysfunction persists for 8 months following initial mild-to-moderate SARS-CoV-2 infection. Considering that a this is what most of those who catch Covid-19 experiences, this is pretty alarming. And since the first Omicron wave, many Europeans and Americans has caught it 2-3 times during 2022. And there is no reson to believe this pattern of repeated infections will change during 2023 without mitigation measures. Catching Covid twice or more per year likely leads to a downward spiral for the immune system.
Covid-19 kills and exhausts T-cells and B-cells that form the base for our immune system.
The short answer: most likely.

A few scientists early on suspected that Covid-19 damage important parts of the immune system in a way that opens up for other infections and cancer. They were right.
