Screenshot of a Threads post in dark mode. At the top, user lukewhoshowedup (profile photo of a man outdoors) posted 17 hours earlier: “Once again sick! Every 2 weeks now? Did COVID just permanently fuck up my immune system?!” The post shows engagement icons with approximately 24 likes, 62 replies, 3 reposts, and 1 share. Below, a reply from mlc_rogers posted 3 hours earlier appears as the top comment. The reply reads: “It’s called Immune Dysregulation. Covid damages your body’s natural defense by destroying T-cells (the motherboard—your body’s operating system). This leads to the deletion of your virus protector and now your body is prong to all types of viruses. The more you are exposed to viruses, the more you will catch them. There is no internal defense. Wear a KN95 or better. In order to start your body’s reboot, the viruses have to be wiped out (or in the case of Covid—DORMANT—).” The reply shows a small heart reaction and low engagement counts beneath it. The overall tone conveys frustration about repeated illness and a warning about immune damage after COVID, with advice to wear high-filtration masks.

Yes, unfortunately this is where we’re at. Many people are now experiencing repeated COVID infections and Immune Dysregulation.
