It’s used to make IVIg, critical for immunodeficiencies and certain autoimmune diseases. The reason the world buys so much from America is other countries don’t allow payments for collection. Unlike whole blood transfusions, IVIg requires so much blood to make that you cannot supply it…

some immunodeficiencies are supratentorial

More evidence that immunodeficiencies underlie autoimmunity risk: bsky.app/profile/viro...
1/ A long standing paradox in my mind (from always seeing immune "strength" or reactivity drawn as a spectrum from immunodeficiency to autoimmunity) was resolved this year at #AAI #Immunology2025. WHY do SO many people have both simultaneously? Each infection brings risk of developing autoimmunity!!

2. People who were immunocompromised as a result of primary immunodeficiencies didn't live long in 1918, because antibiotic therapy didn't exist. Likewise, medication that causes immunosuppression didn't exist either.

To be clear I am not talking about people with actual immunodeficiencies for whom it makes medical sense to wear a mask; I know people like that, too.

Yeah, you should have to, like, win an appeal to do it. Your kid better have horrible immunodeficiencies and you better live somewhere with pathetic vaccination rates. Basically any other application of it is nonsense.

So would lupus, rheumatoid arthritis etc count as primary immunodeficiencies?

It's a good thing the US hasn't spent four-ish years giving everyone immunodeficiencies from COVID and sending them back to work. That'd really suck now if that had happened.
“an influenza A virus had been detected at higher-than-average levels in… Alaska, California, Florida, Illinois and Kansas.
“We’d really like to understand what might be driving that influenza A increase during what we consider the lower transmission season for influenza A”
What indeed? 🤔 #H5N1

Re: Covid vax ban, they have backed down before in the face of pushback on medical issues. This requires outcry from the public and electeds. Use @5calls.org and @resist.bot to contact your reps. Here is a script. I'm focusing on "most vulnerable" as those move the narrative the easiest.
