Vaccines target a small portion of the entire human immune system and often lag behind mutations of microbes. Yet vaccines have dazzled humans for centuries.
Love your writing! It's powerful, well-researched and insightful! What's been missing since the beginning is the discussion on how NK Cells another immune defense mechanisms are inhibited by chronic stress/traumatic stress. With the lockdowns and other restrictions, they have promoted an environment of powerlessness and helplessness, which increase hyper-arousal and freeze response
Thank you for this lesson in immunology—the principles of which seem to have been “forgotten” (rewritten) thanks to the Orwellian redefinitions that have occurred over the past 20 months.
It’s helpful to get a better understanding of *why* vitamin D is so effective in the battle against infections.
I suspect inducing autophagy through intermittent fasting (best combined with a low-carb, high-fat diet like keto, which makes the practice easy due to the satiating fat) ramps up macrophage activity and helps build an even stronger immune system (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31892110/). I wonder if it would help those who have been injected fend off some of the adverse effects of the spike proteins and toxins?
Good report. Thanks! Last year I heard anecdotal reports that indicated no one with vitamin D above about 40 had been intubated or even in ICU or some such. Do you know if that has ever been quantified? And that was when everyone was ordered to stay indoors, missing the natural production from sunshine. And the apparent higher morbidity of dark skinned people seemed to mystify authorities, so it was hushed. Low D seemed a likely culprit. I'm guessing most people don't know their number. My own beloved doc sent me a report every year that listed numbers for the factors he tested, except D, which he reported as "normal." I had to ask for the actual lab report every year to get the real number, and found the threshold for normal is lower, low 20s I think. A lot of standard ranges are way lower than what we should want, certainly for D.
I saw this article and didn't have time to read it when you published it, but I came back to it and am glad I did. I think I just got more information on the immune system in the last fifteen minutes than anyone has provided me in a year. Thank you!
Great article - very informative. Do you have any views on the Novavax vaccine? We are about to get it in Australia where I am located. Do you think it will have a similar potential for heart damage or is likely to be safer? It would be great to get your thoughts.

BTW, I linked to your excellent overview of the data on ivermectin in my last piece (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/letter-to-a-scientifically-minded) if you didn’t see it :-)

You never disappoint. Great read. Forwarded to several folks

Very helpful overview. I’ve been waiting for this kind of summary for a long time. Thank you for providing it. Very well written.
Just now read your article, thank you ! written so that a non-biology-student can understand too.
