University of Pennsylvania researchers studied over 300 people and found 40% of Long COVID samples had elevated SARS-CoV-2-specific CD8 T cell activation, with signs of exhaustion and reduced function. This supports persistent viral antigen stimulation. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

I’m tired of the AI-generated pictures on slides 🥀🥀🥀 Especially slides w/ unclear graphs!! I’m telling you the image you have of an anime-looking group of scientists working together is way less useful than putting together some R-code to make sure you are clearly displaying your findings.

Before talking about “non‑specific effects” of vaccines, it helps to revisit a basic point that easily gets lost: vaccines are not designed to boost the immune system in general. They work by selecting cells (B and T) that recognise very specific molecular features, antigens, of a specific pathogen.
