COVID-19: LONG-TERM DAMAGE to IMMUNE SYSTEM
When we have to read studies between the lines...

2) We posted a first study few weeks ago about how inflammation can trigger lasting phenotypes in immune and non-immune cells.
This article of NIH proposes a short but clear summary.

3) "Researchers found that severe COVID-19 could cause lasting changes in stem cell gene expression that made the immune system produce more white blood cells"

5) Except for the subject of vaccination, there was a very jnteresting passage in this study:
"The deterioration of CD8+ T cell function is seen in patients with active viral infections that had been either eliminated, in the case of HCV or greatly reduced (HIV)...

6) This dysfunction persists for a year or more after the active phase of infection, suggesting lasting damage, despite the absence or near absence of the relevant virus. In this context, it may be that these attenuated CD8+ T cell responses contribute to long COVID ...
7) ... perhaps rendering patients unable to respond robustly to subsequent infections by SARS-CoV-2 variants or other pathogens."
While many of you know that the virus damages the immune system, there is still much to do, to convince the majority of people to protect themselves.
