g antibodies and virulence-inhibiting PNNAbs to protect against severe infection. However, the immune system is struggling to produce these antibodies at sufficient levels due to the decreased ability of antigen presenting cells (APCs) to present viral antigens. This has led to a shift in the immune response from antibody-mediated to CTL-mediated, where cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) are activated to kill virus-infected cells and lessen the severity of infection.
The decrease in antibody production and reliance on CTLs has implications for the control of other chronic disorders, such as cancer and infectious diseases, as well as the ability to produce new neutralizing antibodies in response to updated vaccines. Additionally, the decrease in virulence-inhibiting PNNAbs levels will put immune pressure on the virus, leading to the selection and propagation of variants that can overcome the inhibitory effect of the remaining PNNAbs. This can result in the invasion of new variants that cause severe disease in the lungs and other organs.
Furthermore, the sidelining of natural killer (NK) cells throughout the mass vaccination campaign has left vaccinees without the support of these important „first responders“ in killing virus-infected cells. As a result, the reliance on CTLs becomes unsustainable and will eventually fail.
In summary, the immune system in highly vaccinated individuals is facing challenges in producing new neutralizing antibodies and maintaining sufficient levels of virulence-inhibiting PNNAbs. The decreased ability of APCs to present viral antigens and the shift towards CTL-mediated response have implications for the control of chronic disorders and the ability to respond to new variants. The reliance on CTLs alone is not sustainable, and without the support of NK cells, the immune response may become overwhelmed

The General’s Memos Correspondence Between the Human Generals who Captured and Co-opted the Human Immune System | Voice for Science and Solidarity
(Complicated Version) Note to Reader: There are two versions of The General’s Memos —a “simplified” version and a “complicated” version. The simplified version is intended for laypersons and health care professionals who desire a practical, comprehensible summary of Dr. Geert Vanden Bossche’s complex analysis of the COVID-19 situation. The complicated version is intended for scientists and health care professionals who have considerable background in immunology and desire a deeper scientific understanding of Dr. Vanden Bossche’s analysis and conclusions. To facilitate the reading of either version, see the list of acronyms and explanations below: NK cells: Natural Killer cells. These are cells of the innate immune system. They kill virus-infected human cells. They are excellent “first responders.” RBD: Receptor binding domain
