Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Because all the things we're doing are causing them to kind of decrease in number. That's right. And that's what Lyme disease, that's what COVID does. I've seen this in certain patients. It's pretty striking to see this. When you see across the spectrum of a population, particularly with long COVID, which is tens of millions of people in America, they're just, things are off.

Their immune system's off. And it's just a form of chronic fatigue syndrome. Like we had with maybe Epstein-Barr and other triggers for chronic fatigue. And it means that these people are less immune resilient and they're likely to have all sorts of symptoms and who knows what kind of diseases they're going to get. There are now therapies that are being looked at that provide natural killer cells.

There are now There's a lot of research going on around, for example, how to take natural killer cells from your body, grow them in a laboratory, inject them back into you as a way of fighting infections or fighting cancer. There's this sort of concept of a bio-shield that Patrick Soon-Shong has talked about.

He's an incredible physician researcher who's discovered a lot of these ways that we can treat cancer differently or treat infections differently. And so we're kind of in an era where our immune system... In one hand, it's actually now working well, some of the key surveillance mechanisms to deal with infections or deal with certain things we need to address.

And on the other hand, we're seeing an overactive immune system. So we're seeing both these under and overactive immune systems that seem to accelerate inflammation even more.
