Many COVID-19 patients produce immune responses against their body's tissues or organs

A study has found that many patients with COVID-19 produce immune responses against their body's own tissues or organs.

…It is not fully understand what causes these symptoms, but one of the possibilities is that COVID-19 is triggering an autoimmune process where the immune system is misdirected to attack itself.

The study investigated…common autoantibodies produced in 84 individuals who either had severe COVID-19 at the time of testing or in the recovery period following both severe COVID-19 and those with milder disease that did not need to attend hospital. These results were compared to a control group of 32 patients who were in intensive care for another reason other than COVID-19.

An autoantibody is an antibody produced by the immune system directed against one or more of the individual's own proteins and can cause autoimmune diseases. Infection can, in some circumstances, lead to autoimmune disease. Early data suggest that SARS-CoV-2 infection can trigger long-term autoimmune complications and there are reports of SARS-CoV-2 infection being associated with autoimmune disorders, including Guillain-Barre Syndrome.

The authors also find that those with more severe COVID-19 were more likely to have an autoantibody in their blood.

The study participants were separated into four cohorts:

Group one: 32 individuals sampled during their stay in intensive care for reasons other than COVID-19. 41% of individuals had autoantibodies.

Group two: 25 individuals who were sampled during their stay in intensive care following a diagnosis of severe COVID-19. 60% had autoantibodies.

Group three: 35 individuals who had been admitted to intensive care with COVID-19, survived and were sampled three to six months later during routine outpatient follow up. 77% of individuals had autoantibodies.

Group four: 24 healthcare workers sampled one to three months after mild to moderate COVID-19 that did not require hospitalisation. 54% of individuals had autoantibodies.

Of most concern to me is “Group four,” made up of prior mild to moderate COVID-19 infections. 54% of these people had autoimmune issues.

Now, it could be that COVID-19 only appears in people with already compromised immune systems, but this seems highly unlikely.

No one want an immune system armed against your own body.

Please keep inflammation in your body low. Minimize Omega-6 fats, eat a healthy diet and get good sleep, increase Omega-3 fats, eat high antioxidant foods, and consider taking practical dietary supplements.

My question is: If a person has Covid-19 antibodies, can he use Ivermectin to treat for parasites? What will happen when the Ivermectin meets the antibodies?

Nothing. Ivermectin binds to the Covid spike protein rendering it inert. It does not provoke an immune response.

From the start I’ve thought C19 would be a boom for disability lawyers filing SSDI claims for their clients. I’m not sure one would even need a lawyer if they have lingering sxs. Do the paperwork yourself, but do it very, very carefully.

My, my, my, this sounds exactly like what many health professionals have been warning about as a consequence of the jab. If true, many who got the jab are now royally screwed.

Maybe this (autoimmune effect) is one of the functions gained in the Wuhan Lab’s gain of function research.

A little feature from the AIDS virus (HIV) perhaps?
