Covid permanently harms immune system, repeat infections increase damage

[Anonymous]

If you want to know why everyone is getting so sick so often these past few months, this is why. Even mild cases of Covid cause immune system damage that shares some similarities to HIV (in that it destroys T cells) and may be permanent. Repeat infections increase the damage. People think because they feel fine after they recover, that Covid is nothing. But people felt fine after they were infected with HIV too, often for a couple of years. The damage is cumulative and takes some time to emerge. https://nationalpost.com/health/is-covid-prematurely-aging-our-immune-systems

I haven’t seen the HIV Covid comparison before. Definitely a new one.

What is it that you want people to do with us “information”? Freak out more to make you feel better?

Oh well, if true. Its here to stay along with all the other circulating viruses. Nothing to be done. Shrug.

I guess it’s better not to know? Is that what you are saying?

+1 days be heard this on medical podcasts I listen to. It’s just so new and unknown.

No one in my family has been sick more often than usual. If anything, it’s been less, and we’ve all had Covid. Next!

Interesting jump to conclusions based on the data and methodology of the study. They recruited subjects that were particularly sick— a high percentage of hospitalized subjects. They looked at various immune system markers up to 24 weeks after infection— things that they already knew get (temporarily) changed from other RNA virus infections. And after unsurprisingly finding them still off after 24 weeks in some subjects, somehow we get to a conclusion that the immune systems are potentially permanently broken, despite no evidence of more susceptibility to infections among these patients.

Everyone needs a hobby. Freaking out about unproven hypotheticals is yours, apparently.
