Okay folks, I'm calling it, and it's bad news:

The word mucinous is going to become much more common.

Yes, bookmark this tweet, it looks bland, but it's important.
oh, okay. I won't leave you hanging.

I've written a lot recently about how we're missing the big picture of how covid infection is doing cumulative damage to interfaces in the body - linings, membranes, barriers, walls, filters.
I don't want to rewrite that all here, but I don't want to bust the flow of this thread, so at the end of it, I'll post the thread I wrote on linings.

Pfizer.
Do you know which hysterical doom merchants say covid can cause long term lung damage even after a mild case?

A couple of very important studies out just in the last 24 hours confirming what we've been saying for years and years now: Covid infections affect your immune system *badly*.
Here's a few things you may have missed in them. Image
This is almost entirely post vaccination data
This is not an unprotected population.
Baseline immune measurements come from a period when vaccination coverage was already high, and the immune damage appears *after mass infection*.
So two things there:
The effect didn't appear until after infection.

Vaccination didn't stop it.

You're not going to like the next tweet in this thread, so don't read it.
I don't think there's a difference between the set 'people who have had a covid infection' and 'people who have long term effects from a covid infection'.
I just think that the second set 'people who have long term effects from a covid infection' varies enormously in degree and condition.

This may be obvious to everyone else already, but it occurred to me today that ICE just does not have the manpower to do everywhere what it's doing in Minnesota.

The surge there is not sustainable nationwide.
But the appearance of ICE being everywhere right now is heavily shaped by the unusually large and concentrated deployment in Minnesota, which is drawing outsized attention and resources.
They don't have capacity to mount similar surges everywhere simultaneously, especially given training and logistical limits.

One of my dissertations was on the causes of the second world war.

I wrote it late, in a hurry, when I was young, naive, sleep deprived, and thought that it was ancient history.

But one aspect of what I wrote was what Germany looked like *from the outside*.
🧵
Here are six key views of Germany from other countries at the time that totally misread the situation.

Some of them might be relevant today.
They overlap a bit, but I've put a rough timeline along with them.
