"Patel now fears a 'perfect storm' of factors will trigger inflammatory responses in some patients, causing cancer to arrive years earlier than normal and making it deadlier once it is diagnosed"
Cancer is the result when the #ImmunityBeanBag goes empty!

ALL VIRAL INFECTIONS damage the immune system driving:
- immune dysregulation
- aging of naive t-cells
- cellular senescence
- increased risk for autoimmune diseases (diabetes, Alzheimer's)
- oncogenic (cancer-causing)
- opportunistic susceptibility to secondary infections.
SARS just damages the immune system much faster and persistent SARS infection (#PASC/#LongCOVID) can lead to full-blown acquired lymphocytopenia in a matter of months.

Mainstream is waking up to the fact that SARS-CoV (the virus) damages the immune system. Congrats, we knew this 20 years ago. Get up to speed, read science.

There is no other way out than to eliminate SARS and care for SARS survivors, now called Long COVID patients.

Good luck.
A research puzzle and political challenge after significiant misinformation: How did people ever think "Living with highly pathogenic betacoronavirus SARS/MERS" is possible, much less desirable?

Here the solution. It will demand focus. Scholars—you there?
You will find this information only on twitter so far, accessible only to information-savvy, driven individuals. This is no way for modern society to sustain itself.

Share accurate scicomm. Above all, ask your political representatives what their plan is.

Use of the proper tests to analyze how immune t-cells (CD4+, CD8+) respond to SARS-CoV infection or vaccination, it's fairly clear SARS-CoV infection damages the CD8+ t-cells regardless of prior immunity.
Hybrid immunity is a false narrative.
Immunity debt is a false narrative Image
Vaccination of patients induces robust CD4+ & CD8+ t-cell responses to the virus’ spike protein. In addition, these t-cells produced multiple types of cell-signaling molecules (cytokines), which recruit other immune cells—including antibody-producing B cells—to fight pathogens. Image
However, patients who had been infected with SARS prior to vaccination produced spike-specific CD8+ T cells at considerably lower levels—and with less functionality—than vaccinated people who had never been infected.
