Critically, they found COVID-19 killing T-cells in 50% of people who've never had COVID-19 or SARS.
'They didn't know they were infected' is not the same as 'they had never been infected'. Antigen specific T cells don't come out of thin air.
I’ve suspected for a while that the ‘other’ corona viruses out there, and there are a plenty, the ones that are not deadly or very rarely are, have stimulated immune responses in people that don’t get it or show no symptoms..............
Humanity has been bombarded by coronaviruses for our entire existence, and people seem to act like this one is special. It is not.
This is very important. If accurate it means other corona viruses that we have all had in the past is giving some degree of immunity. If one remembers they were predicting 75 million or more deaths world wide from Covid19. It did not happen. This may be the reason why.
We may be approaching herd immunity.
note the suffix -19
There are at least 18 other covids and we don-t know how many with 20+ suffixes.
Does the “T” in “T-cells” stand for Trump?
Thank you for posting this article. This seems very important research. It’s to bad media is ignoring this research.
Another reason vitamin D is important: It gets T cells going

Scientific American BlogVitamin D deficiency has been linked to a rapidly expanding inventory of ailmentsincluding heart disease, cancer and the common cold. A new discovery demonstrates how the vitamin plays a major role in keeping the body healthy in the first place, by allowing the immune system's T cells to start doing their jobs.
In order for T cells to become active members of the body's immune system, they must transition from so-called "naive" T cells into either killer cells or helper cells (which are charged with "remembering" specific invaders). And, if ample vitamin D is not around, the T cells do not make that crucial transition, a group of researchers led by Carsten Geisler, head of the Department of International Health, Immunology and Microbiology at the University of Copenhagen, found. They draw this conclusion based on their experiments with isolated naïve human T cells.
"When a T cell is exposed to a foreign pathogen, it extends a signaling device of 'antenna' known as a vitamin D receptor, with which it searches for vitamin D," Geisler said in a prepared statement. If there is an inadequate vitamin D level, he noted, "they won't even begin to mobilize."
Chris Martenson at Peak Prosperity had this in one of his virus videos last Friday. That study mentioned previous exposure to SARS, MERS, and 4 different versions of the common cold(coronaviruses) developed T-cells that recognized the first two sections of the virus.
