Dr Deborah Birx, who served as White House Coordinator from 2020-2021, claimed that, like HIV, Covid 'quietly destroyed' some people's immune systems even if they were asymptomatic
Symptoms include chronic pain, brain fog, shortness of breath, chest pain and intense fatigue.
It is thought that long Covid is caused by persisting pieces of the Covid virus in the body which cause problems for years after infection.
Dr Birx told News Nation: 'We're learning now about mitochondria and viral impact and brain fog, and the changes in our neurons and the cells that nourish the neurons that really allow us to think and move, and we're learning that because of what long Covid has done.'
She said: 'The reason the comparison to HIV is important is because HIV was also asymptomatic. You couldn't see the virus through symptoms because people were infected for seven, eight, or nine years before they developed symptoms.
'But HIV quietly destroyed our immune system... We're learning now about mitochondria and viral impact and brain fog, and the changes in our neurons and the cells that nourish the neurons that really allow us to think and move, and we're learning that because of what long Covid has done.'
Researchers at UCSF studied 43 people who had Covid in 2020 and examined the differences between the 16 who fully recovered and the remaining 27 who have been left with persistent symptoms.
They looked at the role of the T-cells, which coordinate the body's immune response.
Nadia Roan, professor of urology at UCSF and the study's senior author, said: 'A striking finding we made was that while this T-cell coordination was observed in those that successfully recovered from long Covid, as expected of normal, healthy individuals, it was lost in those with long Covid.'

She’s fos. It was the vaccines that did that
Dumb as a Brix
Anything to slam Trump.
Birx wrote a paper with several other doctors and made a comparison while a single doctor Daily Fail dug up said it is not a good comparison = “CRITICS SLAM TRUMP”
The comparson seems to make sense. A with HIV, a weakened immune system creates a longer recovery from diseases. Why should COVID be an exception?
I agree.

Scarf Lady speaks LIES.
This may be one of the few true statements Birx has made regarding COVID.
Journalistic fraud.
Scarf Lady may not be wrong in what she says this time. The jabs are worse than the disease.
