The myth of “immune debt” and what is causing so many people to be sick right now

Immunity debt is something we are heavily being sold in the mainstream media for why so many people are sick, this early in the winter cold/flu season.  They claim it is due to “masking and social distancing” for the last 2.8 years.  But here is the deal.  Immunity debt doesn’t exist.  The Unambiguous Science group stated it quite eloquently above.  Every day you spent in a mask, you literally rebreathed bacteria and viral particles from your own body.  Our bodies are one huge microbiome of bacteria and viruses and fungi.  When we are healthy we interact with that stuff daily.  Our immune systems remain ready to fight when needed (unless you compromised your immune system).

So lets speak to that for a minute.  Immune compromised gets thrown around a lot.  What constitutes immune compromised?  Someone who is on chemo is immune compromised, as chemo is designed to knock out your immune system so that chemo is not “fought against” when your body is exposed to it.  It whacks out the good stuff plus the bad stuff.  Someone on chemo can get very sick even from a basic cold.  That is a whole different level of immune compromised than most people will experience.

Others that are immune compromised are people who are already sick with something, and then ANOTHER virus/bacteria/fungi meets them and their immune system being taxed from another invader does not have as much punch and you can develop a secondary infection.  Think of a head cold that turns to a sinus infection.  Your body couldn’t fight the bacteria that camped out in your head snot thanks to the virus that caused the sinus congestion.   (This is usually where people rush out and get an antibiotic but if you give your body 7-10 days your immune system will kick that bacteria out pretty well.  We are instant gratification and want to feel better now).  People who are on biologics such as humira and remicade can have “slight” immune decrease as their bodies are medicated to prevent their immune system from attacking them.  But the majority of those people live quite normal lives and do not get sick more frequently than the average person does. I don’t know of a patient who died of covid or flu due to biologics treatment.  I am sure there is one on the death roster out there but none that I am personally aware of.

There is another group of immune compromised right now.  Those who had a covid injection series.  I would hope that most know by now that covid vaccines do in fact knock your CD4/CD8 cells down, they affect white blood cell production in your bone marrow, they cause antibody imprinting, and all of those things reduce your ability to fight off illness.  You get sicker than normal from the winter crud.  There are billions of people across the globe who are potentially dealing with this right now!

So lets speak to the real crisis we have right now.

The narrative pumps out how many people are flocking to hospitals and are very sick, and there are no beds.  Let me be very clear:  the availability of hospital beds 100% DEPENDS ON HOW MANY NURSES YOU HAVE TO STAFF THOSE BEDS.  Read that again.  If half of your beds are open because you only have 50% staffing of nurses, then guess what?! There is no room at the inn to put you.  They are trying to blame lack of public mitigation efforts on bursting hospitals.  In Canada, they cannot even get childrens Tylenol or Motrin because they have a supply shortage.  They are going TO the hospital to get a fever reducer right now.

Then we have this slide:

Yes, this season we are seeing many viruses circulating at high levels much earlier than we normally do.  Why?  I will go ahead and discuss that elephant in the room that no one else wants to discuss.  How many hospitalized people are multi-covid vaccinated?  How many sick kids were covid vaccinated OR breastfed/are breastfed by a vaccinated mom?  The fact that we ignore any of this is the great medical cognitive dissonance this cold and flu season.

Anecdotally, I have had numerous patients cancel their appts over the last few weeks due to illness.  All respiratory crud.  Kids who have had strep, then caught flu A, and now another bout of “covid”.  I do document vaccine status and anecdotally, my patients who are sick right now are multi covid vaccinated.  Kids included.  They all had a flu shot in September/October as well.  Many had the omicron booster.  Think we might know why immune systems are shot to hell and people are sick right now?  We are seeing December/January illness levels before Halloween.  Gee, I wonder why?  In my office, those who had the omicron booster, have all been sick since that booster.  Covid, colds, one even has an ongoing hospitalization for multiple issues going on.   The rest of us are not covid boosted or flu vaccinated and so far so good.

See the bigger picture.  The one that no one wants to discuss.
