"A new study in the
International Journal of Infectious Diseases should end
any lingering idea that SARS-CoV-2 is ‘just another cold virus.’ It shows that
a single, relatively short Omicron wave left a long, measurable scar on the
adaptive immune systems of tens of thousands of adults and that people with
cardiovascular disease (CVD) may be living with something close to chronic
immune compromise nearly two years later.
This isn’t about individual anecdotes, or small clinic cohorts. It’s a
population-scale signal, drawn from more than 40,000 patients in a region of
China that had almost no SARS-CoV-2 circulation until late 2022. It is, in many
ways, the cleanest before and after picture we have of what one mass SARS-CoV-2
exposure does to human immunity.
The findings demand that we rethink what it means to ‘move on’ from COVID-19,
especially if prevailing government strategy relies on repeated, unmitigated
reinfections."
