COVID and GDD. Research should focus on the immune systems of the 99%who do not get sick, rather than only on those sick. What are they doing right, rather than just what 1% are doing wrong.

COVID and Gd from GBCAs are both invading entities. An important categorization, COVID is replicating, Gd is nonreplicating (static). Reading the literature of both entities, it is remarkable how both can wreak such havoc on organ systems in the human body. Just thumb-nailing the research, something like 20 different nasty things COVID does to cells, and about the same number by Gd. Most recently I was reading about Stanford research, that a cell, the Majestic cell (maybe they came up with the term) which is a lung tissue specific resident macrophage, permits access of the COVID virus into their cytoplasm, where they replicate and then the cell explodes releasing 100s or 1000s of the little vicious monsters.... So if all these horrible cellular effects occur with both entities, then why don't we all die a painful and miserable death when we come into contact with them. Why are 99% (approximately) of healthy 15-60 year olds do fine after COVID infection, and why 99.99 percent of GBCA recipients do not develop devastating Gadolinium Deposition Disease, severe Acute Hypersensitivity Reaction or NSF? Too much emphasis has been placed on what individuals in the 1% immune systems are doing wrong, and essentially no attention on what the vast majority immune systems are doing right? This latter is where the majority of the money should be spent - what mechanisms do most individuals' systems have to prevent the apocalypse of disease?

On the other hand, equally deficient, reactions to vaccines are also ignored. For examples, 1 in 1 million children who receive the measles vaccine develop a catastrophic acute neurodegenerative adverse reaction to it. What should be done is to study the 100 or so individuals with this reaction. What are their immune systems doing wrong? Is there a common genetics to it (I am certain there is) so that we avoid giving the vaccine to individuals with that gene. This of course applies to all vaccines and all reactions. Gardasil comes to mind. The approach that the companies have to these reactions seems to be: "That's too bad, at least it is rare." This is not the right approach. The right approach - study the individuals who have severe reactions and compare their immune systems to those who do not react. There may be a gene, and individuals with that gene should not get that vaccine.

In finishing, I want to draw attention to what is not studied, that is at least as important as what is studied.

For invaders, COVID and GDD - what are the people's immune systems doing such that they do not get appreciably sick. What are the cytokines they release? What is the genetics?

For vaccines, in the uncommon to rare individuals who get severe adverse reaction, what are their immune systems doing wrong, the the majority are doing right? What is the genetics?

One can understand how conspiracy theories take root. If medical companies and doctors ignore and dismiss important health issues with anything. Then one creates fertile ground for the development of conspiracies. And to address two, there is no alien DNA in any COVID vaccine, and Bill Gates has not put microchips into vaccines to track you... this is an educated rational opinion. Your welcome vaccine companies.
