Immune dysfunction after Covid19. We've known since 2020. We do not know if it is progressive, but w reinfections pretty high & viral persistence occurring it does not matter. A thread from my threads - the top 12 papers showing clear immune dysregulation in chronological order!

1/ Grady Hospital, last week You: “What’s up, Dr. Manning? I been hoping I’d see you.” Me: “Hey you! Good to see you.” You paused, gave your arms an exaggerated fold, and huffed. You: “You know I got a bone to pick with you.” Me: “With me?” You: “With y-o-u.” Hmmm.
