@fitterhappierAJ I have always appreciated your perspective and listened to it!

In 2020 I published a paper arguing that there likely was an element of CD8 T cell death in Covid. For the following years, I was met with overall antipathy from many professors for claiming covid was harming T cells. Now, a new publication highlights persistent T cell attenuation. sciencedirect.com/science/articl… I was punished the sin of being correct on my matter of expertise before I had done a postdoc or graduated medical school, and for an opinion contrary to many individuals who had incentives to downplay covid or a lack of scientific imagination. My claims were swiftboated, people tried to put words in my mouth, strawman me, and attack me personally. Vincent Raccaniello said the claims covid was harming T cells was "twitter science." Vincent Rajkumar, the editor of Blood, said it was "nonsense." Carlos Del Rio, a professor of Infectious disease said, "I'm exhausted reading such claims from non-immunologists." One immunologist and nephrologist at the Francis Crick institute, Rupert Beale, claimed that cranks were being taken as legitimate sources while I was a medical student. An immunologist at Novartis, Andrew Croxford, mocked me as if I was a self-described 'galileo,' after Zeynep Tufekci referred to me saying, 'not every crank is Galileo.' I'm sorry the truth had to come from someone who lacked pretense, completed fellowships, and several decades of life. It should have been enough to have published in the field, understood the issue, and have been able to articulate the rationale. There were many attacks to my livelihood and my affiliated entities, accusing me of fear-mongering. and writing pseudo-science. One group of Professors even saw it fit to write that the T cells were "Fit and Happy" following breakthrough covid. I have never seen in history someone lampooning an individual with the title of a scientific journal article. Their aim was total demoralization. Having been subjected to this, I believe it is a very unique experience, to be met with derision from 1) Established professors 2) Journalists at the New York Times 3) Journal publications A recent article in the BMJ highlighted how eminent immunologists are starting to believe Covid has harmed population immunity. I was included in the piece until the editor said they needed to avoid the controversy to save face, thereby erasing my advocacy and the absolutely unethical conduct of people who had fixed to attack me. Regardless, this is a significant result. With multiple covid infections, the issue becomes even more relevant. Please keep up to date with vaccinations and avoid covid with use of an N95 if you want to keep your immune system healthy.

📸 Both of these photos were taken this weekend. And remember: Jake Tapper and the media have spent the better part of the past year telling the country Joe Biden would be in a wheelchair by now while insisting Donald Trump was some sharp, vigorous eighty year old. They didn’t just get it wrong. They cashed in. Biden was old, competent, and boring, and that didn’t fit their business model. Chaos did. So they boosted Trump, fed the outrage machine, and sold out our democracy for clicks and access. Never forget.

Vote for people who will fight for you and your rights, not these fucking losers.

💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

8 Democrat Senators caved in and knelt to fascism: Dick Durbin, Tim Kaine, John Fetterman, Jean Shaheen, Maggie Hassan, Angus King, Cortez Masto, and Jacky Rosen. If they're running again Primary them and get them out. Vote people in who will fight for you. Fucking pathetic.

I'm not letting this go. I hope you don't let it go. They're counting on you moving on after a few days of anger because that's what they've witnessed on a host of issues for years. These eight Senators sold us out. They hurt us. They hurt families. They empowered Trump.

Jesus fucking Christ. Resign. Genuinely just fucking resign

@SenFettermanPA @SenMcCormickPA Your guys suck!

.@SenMcCormickPA and I voted to REOPEN our government. Feed everyone. Pay our military, government workers, and Capitol Police. End the chaos in airports. Country over party. 🇺🇸

Gavin Newsom: “It sounds like some of my colleagues in the Senate just decided we’re playing by the old set of rules and may have rolled over. Right now we’ve got to hold the line because I think America will become unrecognizable in a year or two unless we fight back”

🚨 I don’t know who needs to hear this, but it was President @JoeBiden who secured the release of 140 hostages in Gaza. Trump? Just 28. That means Biden was responsible for 83% of all the hostages freed — yet you’d never know it from the way the media talks. If anyone deserves the title “Peace President,” it’s #46 — not the guy bombing fishing boats in international waters and sending masked agents to terrorize Americans.

There's no way in hell he won 7 swing states, and the fact that the Dems didn't call for a single audit may prove to be a sin of omission that ultimately dooms our Republic. They're not gonna save us. If America is to survive, we're gonna have to save it ourselves.

🇨🇦🧵The latest on Canada severing ties with Trump's America. Today's stunning announcement and press conference from Prime Minister Carney shook the geopolitical world. This is the first time a nation-state has cut ties with America. What does this mean?

Snatching an international student off our streets who is lawfully in our Country and attending one of our Universities and then bundling her off to an ICE detention center 1,700 miles away without a hearing is a sickening reminder of the Gestapo-like conduct from another age. I have asked for a full status report from ICE on the case of Rumeysa Ozturk, a legally authorized Turkish student at Tufts University. I will request her immediate return to Massachusetts.  We currently have about 80,000 foreign students attending more than 60 Colleges in the greater Boston/Cambridge area precisely because we have a reputation as a center of learning and intellectual, religious, and cultural tolerance. Let’s keep it that way.

SARS Cov 2 hits the T cells and NK cells. Both are responsible for surveilling cancers Take it from the guy that said it 5 years ago: it was obvious from the infection Hard to opt out of the infection, so vested interests blame the vaccine

Dude, Tesla would have gone BANKRUPT without $456 million from the government. SpaceX would have gone BANKRUPT without $1.6 billion from the government. Elon Musk would be worth $0 without $38 billion from the government. Elon isn’t exposing fraud. He’s committing fraud.

If you haven't figured it out, Trump is seeking an arctic partnership with Russia, in order for Russia to declare total control of the region and its resources, Canada, Greenland, and Nordic Europe (all in NATO) need to be taken out. Trump's invasion threats make more sense if you piece it together.

Yep. All of this. And if the media could start to figure this out it would be an absolute game changer. Even independent media channels/networks/pundits. The louder your megaphone/audience, the bigger an impact you can have by acknowledging these facts & never wavering from them:

This chart says it all. If we’re going to save American democracy, we must stop billionaires from buying elections. We must end Citizens United and move to public funding of elections.

Your daily reminder that the @GOP do not care about you.
