In 2020 I claimed covid infections and reinfections would cause T cell exhaustion and harm to T cells. Now, to my minimal surprise, the head of the american association of immunology has published the very hypothesis disparaged and called nonsense below; that covid harms the
This is an immunology question. And their answer is correct: It is nonsense.

I admire your resolve in meaningless debates and wish you well with your quest for herd immunity with a pathogen that indeed harms the immune system.
@oliver_phil @SalamonSMD @JPWeiland @MackayIM Sorry man. I thought the “Leonardi effect” stuff had been given a decent burial. Best wishes to you but I can see why Ian disengaged.

Hopefully advances in technology will reduce water consumption. I think this is a critical area of R and D.

A situation where AI, even if just a tool, competes for resources with life (fresh water) is the worst case scenario. At what point will a prompt be worth more to fulfill than the life of a living organism? The cost of both will be weighed against each other. Dystopian.
Texas data centers are projected to use 49 billion gallons of water this year, as the state faces a prolonged drought, per MorePerfectUnion.

Oof. Farid believed it was megakaryocyte precursors. What cells?.

In 2020-2023 when I was still a med student, several pompous professors and senior academics chose to epistemologically trespass on the topic of immune harm from covid and punch down, mocking my experience and expertise. I wonder if they believed it or if they intentionally lied
City Doctors Blame ‘Long Covid’ For Severe Viral Infections That Have Laid Kolkata Low. A past history of ‘long or severe' Covid may have led to long-term weakening of respiratory and immune functions, making thousands in the city more vulnerable to recurrent infections, say

This is an example of the limited scientific imagination my detractors seem to have, hiding behind an anonymous account. They don't understand that I saw, based on immunological published phenotypes, clear evidence that covid (a respiratory virus) was harming T cells, and warned.

Imagine epistemologically trespassing just to be wrong but being too arrogant to tell like Zeynep and Mark. Imagine commenting on something in your field and being wrong like Marc Veldhoen, Jeremy Kamil, and Antonio.

In 2020 and since then, I was eviscerated by many "cautious" professors and scientists for saying Covid harmed the cells responsible for controlling cancers and infections. Marc Veldhoen and Antonio Bertoletti went as far as to call T cells "fit and happy" after covid infection
We've known that Covid increases the risk in survivors of cancer, but today @Nature a mechanism of reactivation of cancer cells elucidated in the experimental model.

I hypothesized and discovered the differentiation of T cells via Fas, which was viewed as a canonical death protein only. It works on cd4s and cd8s and I encourage anyone curious to try it.
@fitterhappierAJ They basically brushed you off as a rando, even though you're far more qualified to actually have an opinion on the matter than Zeynep.

Back in 2020 I gave the same warning and carried the same concern that covid was like a cancer. For this claim, many virologists and nay-sayers came out of the woodwork to disparage and slander me because of their lack of scientific imagination and professional contempt, like

Holoendemicity creates earlier death than hyperendemicity for all groups due to constant inflammation. When we learned to live with covid we learned to die from its inflammaging.
@ONS 10,075 deaths in week 26 of 2025. 8,979 deaths in week 26 of 2020. Why are we seeing 1,096 MORE deaths in 2025 than we were during a ‘PANDEMIC’ even in 2020????

Older generations default to believing video images. New generations will default to their disbelief.
A judge is heavily fining a law firm that cited cases that were completely made up by AI. He says that he almost used the case law to write his ruling but luckily decided to check the citations. We are one lazy judge away from having case law that was made up by chatgpt.
