Chronic Covid: It's A Thing

A bad thing.

From time to time for the past few months I’ve remarked at the prevalence of “breakthrough cases”—and deaths. To be honest, I’ve been so occupied with the war on Russia that I haven’t followed the Covid Regime very closely since March or so. I figured that the news would find me eventually. Last night, for example my wife remarked on an article, behind a paywall, the title of which was something like: Why You Friends Get Covid Again … And Again, And Again. Chronic Covid. It’s a happenin’ thing.

This morning, in response to my quote from Alex Berenson on excess mortality, a friend sent me a link to a substack by Igor Chudov. It dates back to early April, but it goes into both Chronic Covid and excess mortality in some detail:

AIDS-Like "Chronic Covid" is Taking Over Europe, Australia and NZ

The Boosted Cannot Clear Covid Easily and Keep Getting Reinfected

There’s a lot of content in this substack—as well as links to interesting material—so I’m going to excerpt the summary portions:

This article will explain exactly why endless Covid reinfections happen, and the dangerous consequences that they lead to, based on recent scientific advances.

What’s happening?

When Omicron appeared around December of last year, the powers-to-be in most Western countries found themselves in a situation of mass vaccine failure, where a Covid variant Omicron, about infectious as measles, was spreading like wildfire, while at the same time evading vaccine immunity.

So, the clever solution was to abolish containment altogether, wish “illness and death” on the unvaccinated people, and hope that the vaccinated world gains “herd immunity” while enjoying relatively low mortality.

Right. Didn’t happen, did it? Instead …

Unfortunately for them and for us, things did not work out this way. Hospitals are overwhelmed by the vaccinated. Endless Covid short term reinfections, plaguing the UK and the rest of the Western world, are sliding towards “Chronic Covid”. Herd immunity is enjoyed only by unvaccinated countries.

Chronic Covid is a situation where the vaccinated cannot develop natural immunity, cannot quickly clear infections, and remain ill and infectious for extended period of time. Such repeat infections progressively damage their immunity to the point of not being able to clear Covid at all. That would lead to people being chronically infected, infecting others, and overwhelmed with toxic Covid viral proteins, while remaining immunosuppressed.

Woops! Or, is that part of a plan? I think it’s one of those need to know things.

This article describes scientific mechanism and shows why this is happening. Using three recent studies, I will show that

• The vaccinated cannot develop “natural immunity”

• The boosted cannot clear the virus quickly upon infection

• Covid virions invade and damage monocytes, the blood cells providing immunity, due to Antibody Dependent Enhancement (ADE), leading to gradual destruction of the immune system. Sars-Cov-2 also infects immune T-cells.

On to point number one:

Natural Immunity and Original Antigenic Sin

Myself and many amazing substackers, including El Gato Malo and Eugyppius, wrote many articles pointing at the likelihood that the vaccinated cannot acquire proper “natural immunity”, like unvaccinated people do, due to so called Original Antigenic Sin, or “immune imprinting”.

Please note that another notable substacker, Brian Mowrey, disagrees with us. I am providing a link to his article just for completeness, however here Brian and myself disagree.

We finally have a well done scientific study, showing OAS in neatly presented form, based on meticulous scientific research.

I believe what he’s talking about here re “immune imprinting” is the phenomenon in which injected people are stuck with only those antigens pertaining to Ur-Covid, the version that the Chinese government provided data on. When they get confronted by any of the multitude of other variants they respond only with those antigens rather than developing new ones—an effect of the injections. So, he continues:

This is not the place to give this very important Cell article full attention. The point to take out is that vaccinated persons do NOT produce a full immune response to any variants that they are infected with, instead producing useless Wuhan antibodies that did not even keep them from getting infected.

This is the main reason why the vaccinated get reinfected so often. …

Point number two:

Slow Viral Clearance in the Boosted

Another groundbreaking article shows not only that “Covid vaccine” does not prevent infection, but also that the boosted remain infections [sic] and Covid positive for extremely long times after apparent resolution of their symptoms.

… such a long viral clearance is extremely concerning. … What other virus does it? That’s right, HIV. The symptoms go, but the virus stays.

This also, incidentally, explains why the boosted have so many heart problems and pulmonary embolisms around day 10 of their illnesses. The other, less visible result of that is extended damage that Covid does to their immune systems.

Please understand how abnormal this is: the boosted immune system stops “symptoms”, such as fever, without actually clearing the virus completely. This represents an immune failure to do the most basic job of the immune system: to clear the virus. The symptoms stop, but the virus persists for quite a bit longer, doing its damage without opposition.

Point number three:

Vaccine Antibodies Enhance Destruction of Immune Monocyte Cells via ADE

The worst part of my article is contained in this section. It turns out that the dreaded “Antibody Dependent Enhancement”, or ADE, finally found a scientific confirmation. It turns out that some Covid antibodies help “breakthrough infections” infect and destroy so called monocytes, which are blood cells responsible for many functions of human immune systems.

…

What the article is saying is that antibodies facilitate infection of monocytes by Sars-Cov-2. This infection leads to death (pyroptosis) of infected monocytes, leading to inflammation, severe symptoms, destruction of monocytes and damage to the immune system. Read John Paul’s article for more details.

Killing off monocytes with each infection is unlikely to work out well if reinfections are tightly spaced together.

Note also that, strangely using the same LFA-1 protein as HIV, Sars-Cov-2 also invades and kills T cells. So we have damage to monocytes and also damage to T cells, occurring with each reinfection.

In his overall summary, Chudov stresses that the injections appear to invite repeated infections, as described above. That is likely to have a cumulative effect on the immune system, further exacerbating the tendency toward reinfection:

So, in summary we have original antigenic sin inviting first several reinfections. These reinfections might seem mild outwardly, but fail to clear the virus for up to 9 days. The result of each reinfection is progressive damage to monocytes and the immune systems.

In support of this he notes that in highly injected countries such as the UK cases remain “sky high”. Deaths, also, are overwhelmingly among the injected, rather than pure bloods. Now, given the extremely high percentage of injected persons within the overall population in the UK, that might seem unremarkable. However, it confirms 1) that the injections don’t actually prevent infection, and 2) that reinfection is common. I can only add that in IL the available public health numbers bear this out in a far less injected population than in the UK. Typical weekly stats for breakthroughs—months after Chudov wrote this substack—run at 2/3 injected. This ain’t over.
