Yep -- and there is absolutely no reason to believe that said T-cell recognition harm is limited to Covid-19. In fact the opposite is the default presumption, since we know that ~80% of people had cross-reactive T-cell responses TO Covid despite never having been exposed.

You have to assume that something which goes one way goes the other until you have evidence to the contrary. I did not expect this, incidentally -- I expected only that in recovered individuals there would be no statistical benefit. That there is now not only empirical evidence of damage (higher infection rates among previously recovered who took the shot .vs. previously recovered who did not) but also a legitimate scientific explanation as to why, backed by a recent paper, is pretty damned definitive and in addition raises further questions that demand answers: Exactly how far does this damage extend and, specifically, does it extend beyond coronaviruses?

If it DOES then.... oh boy.
