Igor Chudov, excellent writer and extremely smart, I find I agree with lots of his views, very balanced; see this recent stack by him Sars-Cov-2 Kills T-Cells, Just Like HIV It also works like HIV"
by Paul Alexander
I recommend this stack, very informative, always insightful, it is critical to view as many sources of information as possible & he is a soldier I am proud of along with nakedemperor (see links below)
The main study finding that SARS-CoV-2 killed immune T-cells which is similar to when HIV infected is important and that those with severe COVID had lymphopenia is a very critical piece to this puzzle.

Sars-Cov-2 Kills T-Cells, Just Like HIV
It also works like HIV, via LFA-1 T-cell Receptors and gp120
The key findings are as stated by Igor:
-
Many patients who had severe Sars-Cov-2 had “lymphopenia”, that is, depletion of the all important immune T lymphocyte cells
-
This depletion was caused by cellular suicide (apoptosis) of T cells after infection
-
In experimental setups involving infecting laboratory cell lines of human T cells, Sars-Cov-2 virus was able to penetrate and infect T cells
-
This tropism (attraction to) T cells and ability to infect them was UNRELATED to the usual way Sars-Cov-2 infects other cells, such as lung cells, that express ACE2 and TMPRSS2 receptors, because T cells do not have those receptors.
-
Infection of T cells occurs via “LFA-1, the protein [that] exclusively expresses in multiple leukocytes”
-
It turns out that HIV’s gp120 protein is the one that “Activates LFA-1 on CD4 T-Lymphocytes and Increases Cell Susceptibility to LFA-1-Targeting Leukotoxin”
-
I would like to remind you that HIV’s gp120 protein also was mysteriously transplanted into Sars-Cov-2
-
Additionally, gp120 protein is located in the spike protein of Sars-Cov-2, and spike protein is used in all “Covid vaccines”.

I have my stack open free and it is up to folk to subscribe and support and I think this is the best model and I suppose its the same with these fine soldiers in the battle
