@PhaatBoyz @ThadMichaels I don't see how controlling the infection with mass testing like china among others is packing it in
@fitterhappierAJ @ThadMichaels Apart from the futility of mass testing people who aren’t sick, this point doesn’t support your statement that “this virus has the potential to render fragile cities nonviable without very expensive therapies, if the vaccines do not work. Taleb's alarm is 100 percent warranted.”
@PhaatBoyz @ThadMichaels 1/hmm. ok. without a vaccine we can be challenged by virus if we've had it once before and antibodies fade. t cells take a while to kill infected cells. unfortunately this virus downregulates the systems responsible for indicating infection to t cells. in comparison to a normal
@PhaatBoyz @ThadMichaels 2/ virus, it would hasten the ability to reinfect by 'cloaking' itself in a way. also, if you are dependent on your t cell immunity, you're in trouble as well with this virus, because it ages your t cells and kills them, especially the ones responsible for directly killing
@PhaatBoyz @ThadMichaels 3/ infected cells. this virus is really brilliant, a genius, even! It's really a marvel. regardless we are getting vaccines. I said IF we don't get vaccines.
@PhaatBoyz @ThadMichaels 4/ with reinfection, comes aberrant immune response bc your t cells are in poor condition, and this is a great indicator of those with good vs. poor outcomes with covid. this dr is saying reinfection would be milder, I am saying on the contrary, it would be devastating to a 50
@ThadMichaels @PhaatBoyz once your thymus is gone you dont make many new t cells. what happens is the young t cells divide to fill the empty space and bring numbers up, but they are aged. it's not reparable without experimental 100k therapies that are unproven
@ThadMichaels @PhaatBoyz it's a feed-forward process- the system the virus challenges and manipulates pushes the cells to be more susceptible to dysfunction. this virus appears perfect at serially challenging and insidiously aging the immune system to me, it is brilliant.
@fitterhappierAJ @ThadMichaels @PhaatBoyz Please tell the idiots who are still promoting the idea of herd immunity. The virus is smarter than they are.
