1/n Eventually, people will get alarmed by this, or claim it's exaggerated. So here's a short explainer. Yes, repeated covid infection tends to badly age parts of your immune system, causing a deficiency compared to normality. That's the first part.

2/ No, obviously (as yet) the immune deficiency caused by repeated covid is not on the same level as what HIV/AIDS causes. It is, however, quite bad for you, & fits in very well with the observation that covid worsens your average risks of death by 10 years.
3/ We've known quite a long while that covid is pretty damn bad on your immune system for many people. None of this is new, none of it a surprise. Read this thread in full.

4/5 There is no means as yet of actually fixing the immune deficiency caused by covid in many people. They will simply be chronically prone to bad effects later. However, proper medical treatment would help them. Their risks are greatly increased, but can be handled,....
5/5 **Above all**, that immune deficiency can be *prevented*, by NOT catching covid several times in the first place. #GetVaccinated, get your covid boosters up to date, no more than 7 months since last, #WearAMask in public indoors-spaces, make sure #CorsiRosenthalBox's get used
