"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.

#ImmunityBeanBag
You are born with a bag full of naive t-cells (beans).
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immune_sy…
#ImmunityBeanBag
You are also born with; a reserve bag of embryonic stem cells (pre-pubescent beans).
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immunosen…
#ImmunityBeanBag
The primary purpose of your Beans is to fight off cancerous cells, which naturally form in your body all throughout your life.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptive_…
#ImmunityBeanBag
Humans were never designed to survive repeated viral and bacterial infections. We are not bats or pigs or rats.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Innate_im…
#ImmunityBeanBag
When you run out of beans and you run out of reserve beans, your immune system stops being able to fight cancer.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embryonic…
#ImmunityBeanBag
When you get infected and you get sick, the illness destroys a scoop of beans.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T_cell#Ex…
#ImmunityBeanBag
Your reserve beans slowly start to replenish your beans. Leaving you with less overall expected lifespan.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ageing
#ImmunityBeanBag
Sometimes illness might destroy a tiny amount of beans.
nature.com/articles/s4159…
#ImmunityBeanBag
Sometimes illness might destroy all the beans in circulation.
frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…
#ImmunityBeanBag
Some illnesses cut a hole in the bag.
nature.com/articles/s4142…
#ImmunityBeanBag
And you lose beans every time the reserve bag replenishes them.
nature.com/articles/s4139…
#ImmunityBeanBag
Losing beans & reserve beans will not seem like a big deal because there are no pain receptors to tell you if you're walking around with half a bag of beans or no beans at all.
frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…
#ImmunityBeanBag
Losing beans when you are young will not feel like your life slipping away, only at the very end.
bmcmedicine.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…
#ImmunityBeanBag
Some illnesses don't just destroy beans and reserve beans.
They scar and weaken the fabric of the bean bag.
ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…
#ImmunityBeanBag
Scarring means any minor and common bacteria can cause the bag to fail and all of your beans in circulation are lost.
thelancet.com/journals/lanhl…
#ImmunityBeanBag
We haven't even started discussing #LongCOVID yet. Persistent illness that destroys all beans in circulation every 12 weeks until all your reserve beans are depleted.
nature.com/articles/s4146…
#ImmunityBeanBag
#LongCovid sufferers know that SARS can replace the real beans with poison beans and that SARS can make the healthy beans attack your lung, heart, liver and brain tissue.
nature.com/articles/s4146…
#ImmunityBeanBag
Your amount of beans determines your energy levels; your stamina, your balance, your sight, your sense of taste, your mood, your brain function, your breathing, and EVERY other organ function.
sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
#ImmunityBeanBag
The beans aren't all exactly the same.
nature.com/articles/s4142…
#ImmunityBeanBag
You have liver beans, pancreas beans and kidney beans!
Loss of any of those beans is big trouble. Those beans do not replenish very easily.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-alcoh…
#ImmunityBeanBag
#LongCOVID destroys all your beans in the same fashion as full-blown AIDS, but much faster.
researchgate.net/publication/34…
#ImmunityBeanBag
Most people are probably wondering why anyone wandering around with empty bean bags is not dying.
Full-blown AIDS does not kill you.
Full-blown AIDS only prevents you from living.
pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…
#ImmunityBeanBag
We are not testing everyone who was infected for immunity dysfunction like we do AIDS patients. So nobody knows they are missing beans or leaking beans.
nature.com/articles/s4159…
#ImmunityBeanBag
Nobody is finding out their bean bag is scarred and their bean bag is empty until it's too late. #incurable
nature.com/articles/s4146…
#ImmunityBeanBag
So, can you replenish the beans and still live a shorter and normal life? Yes, but only if the bag is fixed and it takes a long time to fix the bag.
frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…
#ImmmunityBeanBag
But there are Minimizers in charge who are in denial of the destroyed beans and insist there's an unlimited supply of reserve beans.
#ImmunityBeanBag
Denial of the #Leonardi_Effect is never an effective mitigation strategy.
frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…
#ImmunityBeanBag
There are folk out there who are well aware their bags are damaged and their beans are almost empty and they're terrified because they aren't getting help.
Be kind to these people by protecting them and listening to them and loving them in every way they need.
#ImmunityBeanBag
Do you know why it is not fearporn to call SARS:
#AirborneCancer
#AirborneLupus
#AirborneMECFS
#AirborneDiabetes
or #AirborneAIDS?
#ImmunityBeanBag
You can at any time wear N95 grade PPE with eye protection for your own health and safety - and the health and safety of your beans.
I would like to thank @1goodtern for providing all the context of this rant. Here's the original #ImmunityBeanBag thread:
@threadreaderapp please unroll
Please don’t hesitate to ask clarification questions or general plain language explanation from my multi-lingual communications team;
@_ppmv & @therustychemist
You can buy Mr. Maidowski a coffee here:

@_ppmv If you want more information about the relationship between cancer and SARS, Laura also provides an excellent thread.
@_ppmv Do you doubt if there’s SARS persistence?
Here's a study proving SARS viral persistence, citing nearly 100 others and ~80 of them are other @NIH studies.
