⚠️Worrisome—“These findings suggest that #SARSCoV2 infection damages the CD8+ T cell response, an effect **akin to that observed in studies showing long-term damage to the immune system after infection with hepatitis C or #HIV**.” ~@NIH study! #LongCOVID

2) The magnitude and quality of a key immune cell’s response to vaccination with two doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine were considerably lower in people with prior SARS-CoV-2 infection compared to people without prior infection, a study has found.
3) In addition, the level of this key immune cell that targets the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein was substantially lower in unvaccinated people with COVID-19 than in vaccinated people who had never been infected.
4) Importantly, people who recover from SARS-CoV-2 infection and then get vaccinated are more protected than people who are unvaccinated.

These findings, which suggest that the virus damages an important immune-cell response, were published today in the journal Immunity.
5) we suspected immunity damage as early as mid 2020—“In a disturbing parallel to HIV, the coronavirus can cause a depletion of important immune cells, recent studies found.” #COVID

Possible #MPOX mutation? An investigation has been launched in France 🇫🇷 after new cluster 17 cases—59% of people in a new monkeypox cluster were vaccinated—double usual % seen. Hence concerns of possible new #monkeypox mutation.

2) While the #MPOX jab does not offer complete protection against the disease, usually only 25% of French cases are in vaccinated individuals.
3) Those affected in the current French cluster are all men aged between 24 and 56.

“No parties or events common to the cases have been identified," the French health authority said. “No person has required hospitalisation.”

2) What is next? In the coming days, prosecutors working for the district attorney, Alvin L. Bragg, will likely ask Mr. Trump to surrender and to face arraignment. The specific charges will be announced when he is arraigned. Perp walk nytimes.com/live/2023/03/3…twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Kids are dying in schools. Mad respect 🫡 for @RepBowman passionately explaining kids dying to @RepThomasMassie. More guns = more school deaths. @JamaalBowmanNY as one of the only schoolteachers in Congress understands this. Massie does not.

📍The Great Salt Lake is on verge of collapse—it has lost 73% of its water & now unable to sustain some wildlife – worse, ➡️ millions will be exposed to toxic dust contained within the drying lakebed. Utah has done almost nothing.

2) “A team of 32 scientists and conservationists caution that the lake could decline beyond recognition in just five years. Their warning is especially urgent amid a historic western megadrought fueled by global heating”
3) “We really need to increase the speed of our response, and also increase our ambition for how much water we restore to the lake,” said Ben Abbott, an ecologist at Brigham Young University and one of the report’s lead authors.

Despite growing political momentum, Abbott said… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
