In a recent situation update, Ontario public health officials noted that evidence is emerging SARS-CoV-2 can cause “immune dysregulation,” a vague term that’s used when the immune system isn’t behaving normally. White blood cell counts may be off, immune cells don’t work the way they should, inflammation is higher than it should be. “Long story short, COVID-19 leads to lasting, and possibly permanent changes in immune cells in some, but not all, people,” McMaster University immunologist Dawn Bowdish said.
Research is suggesting that T cells, the cells that help produce antibodies and kill infected cells, are taking a particular hit, and that repeated SARS-CoV-2 infections may be prematurely aging human immune systems.
The scale isn’t yet clear. However, “a potential increase in acquired impaired immunity in the Ontario population could have significant impact on the incidence and associated burden of infectious diseases ….and other conditions in the longer-term,” reads the Public Health Ontario evidence brief.
The concern is that people will be less able to hold off future bugs and pathogens like influenza, or that unsettled immune systems could lead to an increase in diabetes and other auto-immune diseases.
Public Health Ontario said its experts best suited to speak to the matter were tied up on pandemic-related work and unavailable to elaborate. But the prospect of discombobulated immune systems among some people “highlights that getting repeated infections of this thing is probably not a good thing,” said Toronto emergency doctor Kashif Pirzada.
Bowdish sensed that immune imbalance, a key feature of long COVID, might be a problem the first time she looked at a blood sample from someone hospitalized with SARS-CoV-2. “We were trying to figure out why some people die in the ICU and others don’t,” said Bowdish. The blood “didn’t look like human blood anymore. Their white blood cells were unrecognizable compared to healthy donors.”
Her team has since published a small study showing abnormal white blood cell counts and high inflammation even in asymptomatic and mild “recoverees,” though the problem is much more pronounced in people with severe cases of COVID.
“We’ve learned that this virus, and we can’t tell you how, leads to the death of a whole bunch of T cells, and then seems to, at least in some people, lead to damage to the white blood cells they make after that infection,” said Bowdish, a Canada research chair in aging and immunity. In some cases, the blood cells never fully recover “and seem to generate auto-immune reactions,” where the body’s immune system attacks its own tissues

VAIDS is real but definitely isn’t caused by the safe and effective medical injections.
It seems the public admission has started, but they are blaming the virus... Pdf warning....
