Please remember that minimizers have said we should let kids get infected *and* interpreted it as good news that children don't develop immunity against reinfection.

1/ This is a great piece on how Covid-19 is causing unprecedented levels of sickness absence from work in the US. The key thing to remember is that this phenomena - in the absence of any meaningful attempt to slow transmission - is going to trend...

💯 the easiest way to get Zeynep Tufekci's attention is to tag my name👇

Now that Long COVID patients are starting see what a crank and fraud @[email protected] is, time to take notice of the other less obvious cranks in his orbit. AJ is unemployed, but this guy is a professor of evolutionary biology, so I’m not sure what his excuse is
If children can't develop immunity, then proposals that we need to let them get infected in order to achieve endemicity is literally treating them as vectors for infecting grown-ups. Which they can do repeatedly as adult immunity wanes and new immune-escaping variants evolve. https://twitter.com/AbundantLandUse/status/1619813573068480512

@[email protected] @[email protected] Jeremy never disappoints. Let me paraphrase "Great news. Kids are well positioned to keep getting SARS multiple times per year."

Innate immunity is variant agnostic
This tells me their innate immunity is getting increasingly less effective at "crushing the virus" and is getting crushed instead
Hence all the crazy infections happening
@[email protected] this is a derivative of ever mutating and becoming more infectious omicron variants, which reinfect children and adults. Nothing you can prevent with any present vaccine.

Yet another hit to the Innate immune system.
Covid is crushing kid's innate immunity
People that claim innate immunity is crushing the virus in kids live in a fantasy land that has been disproven since 2021
Nature Immunology found covid is crushing kid's innate immunity (see: depleted NK cells)
Also, it's reducing immature lymphocytes

“IMO, a lack of SARS-CoV-2 specific T cells after kids get infected merely shows that children’s INNATE immunity is crushing the virus! Therefore, there’s not much need for T cell responses. H/T @zeynep @Marc_Veld https://t.co/ZYwgjr5G93”
Here is the Nature Immunology paper with the depleted NK cells in kids with Covid, part of Innate Immunity
