| LjL | de-facto, https://www.contagionlive.com/view/certain-genes-may-naturally-protect-against-severe-covid-19 this suggests that at least in older people, not having so much inflammatory activity does help. i wonder if it relates to the IgG4 antibodies stuff in any way. | 22:03 |
| de-facto | hmm but werent those IgG4 Abs seen in almost everyone after 3rd dose or infection? | 22:07 |
| de-facto | (not sure if i remember correctly) | 22:08 |
| LjL | de-facto, yes what i'm saying is maybe it's a good thing, because they are less pro-inflammatory than IgG1 and others | 22:08 |
| LjL | you already said that might be the case, just the above observations may strengthen that hypothesis | 22:09 |
| de-facto | yeah my thoughts too, but it also could be indicating ongoing long term inflammatory issues | 22:09 |

| de-facto | as far as I understand it its a way of the body to deal with an antigen that causes too much inflammatory issues, hence since inflammatory issues are a major cause of problematic COVID progressions (as can be seen by treatment with immuno-suppressants) it may be helpful if the immune system already got the capability to deal with such situations | 22:14 |
| de-facto | but it also may mean that there was an inflammatory issue causative for learning that capability | 22:15 |
