Let's blow open another paradigm: it's not that #aging weakens the immune system, it's that the weakening of the immune system leads to what we call aging.

#SARSCoV2 both dysregulates the immune system and accelerates biological age. In the age of unmitigated #covid, people are quite literally aging faster.
