Some may recall my recent post about 19yo son of friend who has now had 2 eps of #quinsy in 3 weeks, needing ED admissions, drainage, IV antib's and oral antib's.

He has also had #COVID19 at least 3 (but likely more) times.

#ImmuneSystem fcked.

Anyways, apparently he's now heard of 2 more people in same age group, with #quinsy.

FYI #quinsy rarely happens now b/c ppl get onto antib's quickly.

These eps happend SO fast, no time for oral antib's.

#COVID19 just keeps on giving. Huh.

"Mammals, birds, reptiles or fish, insects, spiders or mollusks, plants or algae, we are all made up of a community of living beings who share their lives in the same 'meta-organism'. If we live together, it is because we need each other to live, and if we can live together, it is because an immune system makes it possible, by adapting us to them and by adapting them to us."

Endless Immunity: Rethinking the Immune System by Marc Daëron, 2025

This book takes the reader on an inspiring journey into the immune system, challenging long-held beliefs about immunity. It examines the immune system under historical, philosophical and biological perspectives. It proposes a new way of understanding immunity that goes beyond the binary opposition between self and non-self. Indeed, we, the livings, are chimeras.

#COVIDvaccine technology adapted to develop first #mRNA defense against #antibioticresistant #bacteria
#Vaccine developed by team is an mRNA-based vaccine delivered via lipid nanoparticles, similar to #COVID19vaccine. However, mRNA vaccines are typically effective against #viruses — not bacteria like the plague... In 2023, researchers developed a unique method for producing the bacterial protein within a human cell in a way that prompts #immunesystem to defend against it.
