nixonixshane crotty: "almost all of the adaptive immune response — your antibody and T-cell response — is completely dependent on that first innate immune signal22:09
nixonixso if you dont have enough those circulating abs, you will be late (if your innate immunity is unsuccesful, and the main immune evasion way of sars2 is NSP1 interferon antagonism). even for triggering memory b-cells to proliferate and produce new antibodies22:12
nixonixonly 10% of severe cases were found autoantibodies vs type I interferons. but how is it among younger age groups with severe symptoms? old people, if not vaxed, have different immunological defects and other comorbidities, but how about not-old and healty, is it mostly about those autoantibodies?22:21
lastshellnixonix can you lower down to understand22:21
nixonixtell me which part22:22
lastshellif you dont have enough those circulating abs, you will be late (if your innate immunity is unsuccesful, and the main immune evasion way of sars2 is NSP1 interferon antagonism). even for triggering memory b-cells to proliferate and produce new antibodies22:22
lastshellty22:22
nixonixinterferons signal adaptive immune response like killer t-cells and new antibodies secreting memory b-cells, that theres infection going on. and that interferon response is suppressed by sars222:25
lastshellok22:25
nixonixso its best to have recent vaccination, because your adaptive response might be too late because of that suppression22:26
lastshellthis is why the booster is need it ?22:26
nixonixyeah, and also the quicker clearing the virus, less chances to also spread it to other people22:27
nixonixtheres an alternative way, somehow prevent that immune evasion of inhibiting interferons. chinese have given hospital workers nasal interferon sprays (alpha i think). that doesnt help much if you have autoantibodies against it, though22:29
lastshellwhat about microdosing with covid by walking indoors with n95 masks that can algo help ?22:30
nixonixand im  not sure if that is healthy to continually take interferons. if i recall alpha is safer than beta (there subtypes of them), but for treatment it hasnt been very good, prob because comes too late, like in hospital22:30
nixonixalso there are some synthetic modified interferons that humans dont have autoantibodies. not sure if proven beneficial, and the same timing problem probably22:30
nixonixwho knows it that develop some cellular reactivity that would remain. like maybe half the people have cellular reactivity from other betacoronaviruses to conserved common epitopes (in S2 or N), which could be both beneficial and perhaps detrimental (the latter according to that paper that compared kids vs adults)22:32
nixonixif=if (and was about that "microdosing")22:33
nixonixcould that autoantibody problem vs interferons somehow be fixed?22:34
lastshellthats the question22:35
nixonixthey found 10% of severe patients those autoantibodies vs interferons, but only 3.5% genes causing it. maybe the rest is genetic too, but they just havent identified the right genes22:36
nixonixand there are ways to fix genes. yeah, not likely that would be solution for masses any time soon22:36
nixonixleonardi thinks humans will be selected by trait with sars2, like happened in east asia 25k - 5k years ago with some other coronaviruses22:38
nixonixi think there will be solution, but it will take time. fixing those genes, if it really is that big factor22:38

BrainstormNew from COVID tweets: Anthony J Leonardi, PhD, MS (@fitterhappierAJ): The fact they claim 'the virus will attenuate by endemicity' and 'liberals can't leave lockdown' and 'your unvaccinated kid is like a vaccinated grandparent' means they are propagandists not scientists twitter.com/EpicDelegator/… → https://is.gd/DaczGy22:59
nixonixsome people have hydrophobic version of rna sensor that anchores to cell membrane, and is more effective. africans usually have that better versions, but people outside africa have the worse version23:01
nixonixthey have a few genetic regions listed. not sure where would be the full list, but there's something here:23:09

nixonixhuman genome project something should have the full list, i think23:10
nixonixdamn science's pdfs, now i cant even use search with them... there must be some solution. what would be a good pdf editor to try?23:13
lastshellnot sure if libreoffice allow to edit pdf23:16
nixonixwhat i read it depends on pdf, if editing or removing those watermarks etc is easy, somehow possible, or very hard23:17
lastshellalso for command line exist pdftk but I used more for cut and join pages in pdfs23:18
nixonixpdftotext, pdftoolkit, libre or word, some pdf editors, web tools possibly... some things to try. easier is to use the web version of the article, if available23:18
nixonixbut if anyone finds the solution for some of those pdf's that cause problem to make them right, like those new science's, let me know. too bad when you cant search or copy-paste text23:22

nixonixanyways, thats good news, kinda. maybe solution behind lot of severe cases, and possibly mild too. only problem is, its pretty hard to fix...23:24
de-factouhm leonardi thinks we will have that many fatalities that SARS-CoV-2 will have selection on human genome?23:32
de-factothat would mean a horrible lot of young fatalities23:34
nixonixin the long run. those with better genes (it was about autoantibodies vs interferons then, but prob genes favoring hydrophobic OAS1 too) survive more often, and will be selected for future generations23:35
specingyeah, and young people just aint dying yet23:35
specingwell, dying from other preventable causes, maybe?23:36
lastshellbut we saw a shift in patience mid age going down this year ?23:36
lastshellis that related ?23:36
nixonixwe dont know what are the consequences with frequent reinfections, with different organ damages etc. sure with one infection its not that bad, mortality wise, for young. but how about during years and decades23:37
nixonixwell, vaccines will improve, and govt will be more willing to allow boosters23:37
nixonixgovernments23:37
nixonixand to vaccinate kids too23:37
lastshellthey need to sort out the myocarditis issue23:38
nixonixits mostly because young people are less willing to vax, and also later in order. no information, at least confirmed, these later variants would be worse to young, meaning more even age-severity curve23:39
nixonixi think23:39
cfwithey are offering "boosters" here now, not sure if I want one23:39
de-factoi dont think (and really do hope) it will not become as deadly as killing that many young people before they were able to reproduce that COVID will leave a mark on human genome23:41
de-factothat would be absolutely horrible scenario23:41
nixonixmyocarditis issue is very minor. az's thrombosis issue isnt, and they havent fixed it23:41

nixonixit wouldnt need to be that big effect, selection, when it affects during generations. also not only about deaths, but healthiness. sure lots of that organ damage will be issue only later in life than the typical reproduction years, but it adds up anyway23:43
nixonixand its just one infection we know about (and lots of damage done we dont and wont know about, the full scope, until years or decades have gone). how about after 5 or 10 reinfections?23:45
de-factosince current mutants are not able to do such extended fatalities it would require tolerating much more breeding to make it more aggressive and deadly, i really hope humanity is not stupid enough to tolerate that to happen23:48
lastshellthis are the current requirements for the 3rd shot:23:48
lastshell    65 years and older23:48
lastshell    50-64 with severe risk for COVID-1923:48
lastshell    18-49 with underlying medical conditions23:48
lastshell    have exposure to COVID-19 through their occupation or institutional setting23:48

nixonixdepending on place or vax site, they just go and get the jab if they feel they want the 3rd. often nothing is asked (usa), but sometimes they refuse23:49
BrainstormNew from COVID tweets: Anthony J Leonardi, PhD, MS (@fitterhappierAJ): So basically, they are trying to exert a chilling effect on rationales that suggest we cannot be parsimonious with third dosesThat's because monetary parsimony at the expense of the public's health has been at the forefront of this pandemic → https://is.gd/NjhzQF23:54
