“Study from Johns Hopkins finds that neutrophils—white blood cells in humans—may be altered by SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, to cease their normal function of destroying pathogens in the body and, instead, significantly inhibit other immune cells critical for fighting the virus” 😬

They would have come for my mother, who was a *legal* resident for 55 years. Who worked for 25 years with children as a bilingual special education teacher's aide. And she likely might have died in their custody, as her health was not great. Only reason they have not? She died in 2019.

We are going to see growing inequalities between social classes amplified even more by disease. Very much like Victorian times. The cost of private vaccines is often too high for many to now afford. In the UK a covid vaccine can vary between £85-120. If you multiple for an average family of four 🧵

The RECOVER team has just published a paper showing that 14% of infants and toddlers and 15% of preschoolers have symptoms of LongCOVID compared to uninfected kids. COVID19 vaccines have been shown to reduce the risk of LongCOVID, but RFK Jr. has decided this isn’t important. Link ⬇️

This classic shallow argument runs cover for real ways that the response to the Covid pandemic has been all out class warfare, and is the perfect example of lazy, superficial “class analysis” that ignores the basic material conditions which actually define class under capitalism.
