Immunodysfunction: A Cause of Stealth COVID-19 Illness and Death

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 

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.

Airborne transmission of respiratory viruses

Science ha s been a bit lazy on common respiratory viruses. It hasn’t been that many studies done before Covid-19, but here it is: they pretty much all are mostly airborne.

Covid-19 Seriously Weakens Your Immune System

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.

Exhausted T-cells never fully recover

More and more proof sees the light of day that Covid-19 at least to some degree affects T-cells and either kill them or exhaust them. This is bad news as we have a finite number of T-cells and it also means that the more Covid-infections we have, the fewer working T-cell we will have.

Covid affects the immune system long after infection is over (in severe cases)

There are coming reports on Covid’s effects on the immune system, and neither of them are sunny. This study from the Linköping University in Sweden shows that severe cases has long lasting effects on T-cells and other parts of the immune system similar to chronic HIV-infections. Yet another reason to not get infected.
