It’s just the flu, bro.
Scientists and experts have been claiming that the T cell immunity doesn’t last long if you get the Coronavirus. I feel that I , as a Flubro, of course, know better than scientists and experts. As such, I will explain why T cell immunity to the Coronavirus might not last long - it’s because it’s not a deadly or serious disease. Mild diseases trigger mild T cell/antibody responses. If every little virus or cold triggered massive permanent T cell and antibody responses then our blood would be like sludge. So God made our bodies such that mild viruses trigger mild immune responses.
The problem is that this short term immune response is being used as one of the justifications for never ending lockdowns, mask mandates, and vaccine treatments. These people who are full of fear manage to turn good news about the virus - that it is mild and only requires a mild immune response - into something else that we should panic about.

Ping. Freepmail Impimp to go on the ping list.

If the ‘rat coup is successful,you’ll be doing this post forever
I will stop when Texas is free. I think Abbott might act rebellious if Biden gets elected and imposes a national mandate. He might then stop the Texas tyranny. But I want Trump to win, not Biden.
IBK, 2 days running!
How will anything you post here free Texas?
Or, T-cells have memory and very few are needed to be archived for protection.
All conservative GOP politicians either lurk at Freerepublic themselves or pay people to lurk here. This website is where they come to figure out what policies they should have. Sometimes they get confused and enact the wrong policy though.
If that were true, the illegal immigration that is changing the Texas demographic would have been stopped years ago.

I am quite sure there are those of you who are pondering the meaning of the acronym YGTBSOS. Well, today is our traditional “Stuck on Stupid Saturday,” and, as you may know, SOS stands for “Stuck on Stupid.” When you think about it, SOS is also a distress signal, code, that is sent out. Therefore, the title of this missive, if you still choose to vote Democrat [Socialist], well, you are sending out a distress signal that You’ve Got To Be “Stuck On Stupid.”
Now some would say, c’mon Col. West, that is really harsh, mean, and you should not be name-calling. Actually, I am none of the aforementioned. If anything, there is a sense of pity for those who are so intellectually lazy. These are our misguided American brothers and sisters who are truly calling out to us, seeking attention, and help from the sensible, educated, and principled. It is no different from little children who are acting out, who are in need of discipline, structure, guidance, order. So it is therapy time for my progressive socialist friends: lay down, take a deep breath, and let’s discuss why voting Democrat [Socialist] is an indicator of being “stuck on stupid.”
First, let’s start with this entire chicken little “the sky is falling” COVID-19 fiasco. Have you ever asked yourselves why some are advocating for the shutdown of our nation’s economy over a virus that has a 99.6 percent recovery rate? See, it is quite easy, and the playground of the simple, to just put up a number and screech. That is what you see on liberal progressive media outlets. However, an astute individual would not just throw up numbers but offer an analysis. We keep bantering on about the “number of cases.” What exactly does that mean? Well, it means someone got sick. But, if you are going to report the number of people who got sick, then also report the number of people who are not sick, and those who were sick and recovered.
It is easy to throw up the number of people who have sadly died. But, the “non-stuck on stupid” analytical mind would ask, what are the demographics of those that have lost their lives? We would see an age group breakdown. I have a simple question: can anyone tell us how many Americans under the age of 65 with no underlying medical conditions have lost their lives solely due to COVID-19? While you are doing that assessment, inform us just how many Americans have lost their lives who had underlying conditions, what type, and their ages.
See, when you are “stuck on stupid” you go running all about senselessly wearing a mask, alone, in your car, with the windows rolled up because you are not seeking a deeper understanding or explanation. One of the consequences of being “stuck on stupid” is that you become a mindless lemming, or as Vladimir Lenin put it, a “useful idiot.” That is why progressive socialists get angry and start shouting, screaming, and frothing at the mouth when they engage in intellectual discourse with constitutional conservatives…they are ill-equipped to do so, resulting in abject temper tantrums. Hence my comparison to little children.
If Governor Sununu (R-NH) is reading this, I voted against you last Tuesday. You are doing an awful job trying to guide us through this flu. Go back to your ski lodge. We can take care of ourselves.
Primary lasting immunity after infection comes from Memory B-cells. They’re what produce antibodies. After infection, about 10% of the B-cells that produced antibodies to fight it remain alive, but dormant as Memory B-cells. Should the infection be encountered again, dendritic cells can reactivate those B-cells to rapidly restart antibody production.
This process happens for any pathogen which causes macrophages to signal dendritic cells. Once the dendritic cells are involved, the path is set toward T-cell and B-cell activation. You’re correct in that there is a different response from the immune system whether the infection is mild versus serious, but the demarcation is the macrophages. Macrophages fight the initial infection. If they start becoming overwhelmed, they signal for dendritic cells. Once that happens, we’re beyond “mild”.
