These sub-awards build on the more than 40 pathobiology research projects(link is external) awarded in 2022 that are yielding important results. For example, one study found that severe COVID-19 may cause long-lasting alterations to the innate immune system, the first line of defense against pathogens, making some people susceptible to other infections. Another study found that symptoms for some long COVID sufferers appear to be caused by persistent infection and may respond to antiviral medications.
NIH acknowledging reality. "Severe COVID-19 may cause long-lasting alterations to the innate immune system, the first line of defense against pathogens, making some people susceptible to other infections." #ImmuneDysfunction

This is so interesting! This RCT for bipolar depression showed that low dose IL-2 stimulated T-regs to turn off inflammation, and patients showed significant improvement. #ImmuneDysfunction🤯 www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.07....
Another good thread (by @SalvMattera on Twitter) on the risks posed by repeat #Covid infections & the recent upward trend in the latest CDC Household Pulse data:

So while the acute infection may be one reason to not want to keep getting infected with SARS-CoV-2 over and over again, the idea that it can increasingly cause damage to the immune system should be a significant reason. Throughout the pandemic, scientific evidence has mounted that even mild COVID infections may be doing something to our immune systems, as well as our collective immunity. For example, what if SARS-CoV-2 infection causes the immune system to be able to respond to SARS-CoV-2 in such a way that we no longer experience severe COVID infections, but rather it causes a subtler, long-term immunological changes that leave us more vulnerable to other infections or even chronic disease?
