This article from @RollingStone is the best journalism Americans are going to receive today. America is falling all over declaring the pandemic over and disposing of the vulnerable.
Everyone is vulnerable #LongCOVID #PASC
There's no cure #incurable

@RollingStone Next best US journalism:
"The delay in warning the public was a profound regret. I wish I had taken my cellphone and just live-streamed myself yelling at the top of my lungs. More people would've been alive if I had done that" Dr. Wozniczka

As someone who has access (paid subscription) to multiple news sources behind paywalls, I'm never surprised the general public is ill-informed. Quality reporting is not free. News media has been decimated by Social Media. Support independent investigative journalism when you can.
Personally, I'm also a financial supporter of independent information sources such as Wikipedia.

What's a good news source I would recommend?
I really don't know that I can recommend what should be a personal selection. This depends on where you are located. But, some independently owned business magazines seem to have "center" political "bias".

"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.

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.

Viral persistence inside gastrointestinal epithelium cells infected with SARS-COV will shed evidence of viral persistence until the epithelium cells occur natural apoptosis and regenerate. @fitterhappierAJ explains exactly the long term outcomes for t-cells of viral persistence!
““You can find lots of chronic infections — people that are probably infected for over a year — where the virus hasn’t changed at all” - @SolidEvidence
Friendly reminder your immune system dysfunction doesn’t have a pain indicator.
The viral persistence and reproduction from SARS infection in renal epithelium cells can last 500-787 days - IFF there’s no re-infection!
Re-infection not only resets the clock it produces genetic recombination opportunities via airborne transmission.

Mr. Maidowski providing recent findings for #SAND (SARS-COV Associated Neurological Decline) AKA #BrainFog as we start to tie findings of HIV-1 viral persistence and SARS viral persistence.
Your nation hasn’t authorized standardized testing of biomarkers for SARS infection beyond the acute phase, therefore the clinical evidence of #LongCovid is only being generated after autopsies results.
At the beginning of the HIV pandemic in the early 1980s; HIV patients were dying 5-10 years after infection. In 1986, Public Health acknowledged the scientific evidence from 1984 that HIV was a cause of immunodeficiency.

Viral persistence inside SARS-CoV infected epithelium reservoirs will cause exhaustion of SARS-CoV-specific CD8+ T-cells in #LongCOVID patients. Mounting evidence that @fitterhappierAJ has been right all along.

healthrising.org/blog/2023/02/2…
@fitterhappierAJ One of the obstacles to creating a reliable SARS/MERS vaccine is that viral HCoV persistence in epithelium cells beyond the URT can reprogram HCoV-memory-specific t-cells. This is a flaw of the Human Immunity System (HIS) against human coronaviruses.

If the ship has "sailed on #ZeroCOVID", why has there been a whole new ship every 3 months?

Why was Zero-XBB.1.5 abandoned before it spread?

Why is Zero-XYZ.1.2.3, the next "big ship" already abandoned before the ship even exists?
We could end the worldwide spread of new variants, TOMORROW.

Omikron & #XBB15 originated because US, UK & EU created a pool of 6 billion hosts for unmitigated international transmission with Let'er R.I.P (Re-Infection Policy).

Americans who think New Zealand was able to reach and attain #ZeroCOVID because "New Zealand is an "island", must not realize "America is an island" too!
