Nevermind they get both of our opinions wrong, which is that the exhaustion is a way to prevent CD8 T cell mediated harm
They even found less cd8 exhaustion in Severe cases.
CD8s causing harm... this is a Jan 2022 publication
My publication was in 2020
I said CD8 T cells were overexuberant and causing harm, and exhaustion was a way they prevented overexuberance
I surmised that without an expensive and long study, long ago, and implicated FasL like the image above! 👆 frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…
If you are a medical or scientific professional and you are not aware of these studies, you need to read up before you marginalize other people's work
Is it to placate the public or is it out of ignorance?
They are trying to silence both sides of the pathophysiology.
Newsflash, without the pathophysiology you would never be needing to study these illnesses! @SetteLab can you mention these things next time you are on? We can't put a moratorium on all things pathophysiology :)

Wow scam accounts can't interpret what t cell aging means. No it doesnt mean people would drop dead from reinfections right away. What it means is there is a decompensation when control is not achieved where T cells contribute to harm via overexuberance
Don't put words in my mouth if you have a feeble understanding of immune-mediated pathology to begin with.
Idiots
The scams/frauds couldn't even remotely conceive that CD8 t cells would be contributing to harm.
More and more papers about the harm they exert
Without scientific imagination you couldnt predict it, and without a brain and eyes you dont read it doi.org/10.1016/j.cell…
This is curious. People I respect were saying immunologists do not believe reinfections or breakthroughs could devolve into long covid or harm immunity, and that my statements are too wild.
I think breakthroughs and reinfections are inconvenient truths to "Covid is over™"
There is a group of economically-prioritizing neoliberals that are strong-arming immunology to claim that these tempered statements of immunity to SARS being insufficient are false
People will get harmed in the coming waves friends, I promise you
Dropping masks and the status quo to do so is M.A.D.
Mutually Assured Destruction
Now is the time to be careful because BA.2 is out and Omicron has rapid mutagenesis compared to previous variants
