It’s published here. It’s in T cells. It’s also in lymph nodes. Do the math. The preprint is a single piece of evidence and there are many others https://www.nature.com/articles/s41392-022-00919-x

Additionally, we are concerned with any changes that could explain an increased risk of other pathogens like published in the BMJ

However look here, in the paper there is a depletion of NK cells

T cells arent the only important immune cell

This also suggests that to properly assess lymphocyte aging in younger populations the immature lymphocyte counts must be analyzed

You are focused on the wrong cell population to observe the aging

There is possibly a depletion of immature lymphocytes in the convalescent

Yet another paper shows persistent immune activation and T cell aging in the tonsils of kids who had Covid

This study found persistent RNA authors claimed suggested persistent antigen and T cells showed markers consistent with chronic infection and aging

I still find myself arguing with denialists about apparent immune dysfunction when the racehorse is already out of the gate

Can't they appreciate they already lost the argument?

This is a fourth piece of evidence for the issue of ongoing insult and persistent antigen in the lymphatics

We have another part of the story of the problem with this lymphotrophic and persistent pathogen

#NeverForget

Please boost if you can, I'm an ADHDer and autistic, and one of the most debilitating aspects in my neurodivergence is rejection sensitive dysphoria. This morning when reading an article on ADDitude, they said that some with RSD benefit with pharmaceutical interventions in the drug class of alpha agonists.

I'm interested in hearing from those who have RSD and have tried or are using an alpha agonist to help them with the effects of RSD. I'm at a point where I need help with it.

The thing that people can forget about feminism is that it’s about deconstructing gender roles and not just about celebrating women’s choices. If a woman is making a choice and supporting harmful gender roles in how she talks about it, it’s okay to say she’s wrong.

The other thing that people forget about feminism is that it’s about liberating men too from the oppressive gender roles that force them to play roles and be people that might not suit them either.

This article is chock full of good news and serious discussion about climate change and environmental equality.

A really good article that drives home the point.

One piece of structural discrimination: When men who have failed at their agreed-upon goal are given more resources & people to keep working on it; while women who have succeeded at their agreed-upon goal are told they haven't succeeded and the goal is actually different now.

The first part is a type of "failing upwards". The second "shifting goalpost".
Having language to talk about the patterns helps to make them a bit more apparent, I believe, and ultimately can change the system.

Pendulums!

It's wild to watch #journalism swing away from quality.

You used to lose your career for plagiarism and now this CNET thing is like NBD. That's the tip of the AI iceberg.

And the WashPo expanding it's opinion section.

The NYT both-sidesing Biden's documents.

Everyone wants engagement. Who wants to stick their neck out on quality?

Me: "arrest the nazis who funded and plotted a very real autogolpe attempt or you will fall to fascism."

You: "but the Parliamentarian..."

Me: "history will not care."

You: "but the wheels of justice turn slowly! I swear Garland is doing his best!"

Me: "do or do not; there is no try and the nazis do not care."

You: "the walls are closing in, any day now!"

Me: "the very same fascists who asked Downmarket Mussolini for a pardon after the coup attempt are now running Congress."
