For their benefit, I will list the publications that prove my thesis correct:
The first is how T cell responses derived from vaccination are superior to those derived from infection. T cell functions after infection were harmed. The publication is below:
To address Kasper's category error: faster pcr negativity of a sars cov 2 infection upon reinfection is not proof that T cells or immunity have not been harmed.
Antibodies and b cell memory are largely contributing to clearance as well
You can look at t cells directly
The paper from the Danish Government is extremely poor and political
It claims people infected with cov 2 have less chance of infections with other illnesses, despite confessing how this is unexpected given derangements in the immune system following infection
It also fails to repeat observed increases in other infections like tonsillitis after sars cov 2, which is another weakness this paper acknowledges
It is very poorly designed
In fact, we know a common post-viral complication is a bacterial pneumonia
The study could not reveal this, and in fact showed the opposite; that sars cov 2 protects
How could any conclusions be reliably drawn from the paper? It is poor science on parade.
It is not the only poorly designed paper
Some epidemiology studies have been designed where they sample a population biased by some metric, including age or working status
They are massaging the epidemiology

I am the only person who said there would likely be increased rather than decreased rates of long covid upon reinfection due to cumulative effects on the immune system and organs
Several studies recently corroborated this
Recently, I made a statement that lifetime rates of long Covid would be over 99.9%.
Most people erroneously took this as a Percentage of the population affected, which it would not be
Some people would get long Covid several times others, not at all
This is easy to understand, however, some people that do not understand it have very strong opinions
This led me to realise that in instances where precise language and proper conceptualization are necessary, especially when things are counterintuitive, one will stand outside
Both Ladhani's and the NIH's Long Covid studies show the idea that Long Covid probability goes down with reinfection because your "immune system fortifies with exposure" is false
This was yet another piece of wishful thinking that I stood against
All throughout medical school, I have faced Marc Veldhoen and Bertoletti calling me things from "depressed" to "grifter," and mocking me for stating that SARS Cov 2 infection can cause T cell harm
Here Zeynep Tufekci acknowledges the article is pointed at my "looney" theories
