On the same day, he was commented on by the virologist and immunologist prof. Agnieszka Szuster-Ciesielska. «How could masks lower immunity?» – he asks rhetorically and explains what happened to our immunity during the COVID-19 epidemic.

- The text suggests that the masks contributed to the weakening of immunity

«We lost our immunity due to insulation and masks»
«In spring, the waiting rooms of primary care clinics usually become depopulated because people get sick much less frequently. Usually. Because this spring – as family doctors emphasize – is different than all others »- we read in the above-mentioned text on Łódź.Wyborcza.pl. Doctors observe a dozen or even several dozen percent. more patients with infections of the upper respiratory tract than in the previous year. The most common problems are cough, runny nose, sore throat. The number of cases of angina has increased.
Where is the increase in this type of cases from? “We have lost our immunity” – comments Dr. Michał Matyjaszczyk, family medicine specialist for Wybcza.pl. «From which side not to analyze it, we will come to the conclusion that it is all because of a pandemic. Due to the isolation and wearing of masks, we did not build natural immunity, because exposure to any viruses was very limited. We really have a lot of catching up to do »- says the specialist. In other words: we need to get up and that’s what awaits us in the near future.
The rest of the article is available under the video.
Doctors, including the immunologist Dr. Paweł Grzesiowski, have long talked about a compensatory epidemic. “Nature abhors a vacuum and the time has come for a compensatory epidemic of those diseases that were less due to isolation” – quotes the specialist Łódź.Wyborcza.pl.
Flu, Omicron or immunodeficiency? Prof. Szuster-Ciesielska comments
Prof. Agnieszka Szuster-Ciesielska decided to refer to several issues arising from the article. «I agree with Dr. Paweł Grzesiowski. Isolation drastically reduces contact and thus exposure to pathogens. With the lifting of the restrictions – and that happened in April – we were again exposed. And it manifested itself in increased morbidity among children and adults – remember RSV? In addition, the rules of testing have changed – they are not obligatory even during admission to hospital, as well as in other institutions »- the scientist points out.
Another thing that Szuster-Ciesielska points out: “Omikron causes symptoms of the upper respiratory tract – sore throat, larynx, runny nose, cough, and also headache. So they resemble the symptoms of the flu or a more severe cold »- he points out. «Were all these patients tested for SARS-CoV-2? (…) How are doctors to know if it is Omikron, the flu, cold viruses, or a general decline in immunity and for what reason? ».

The professor reminds that in countries where tests are still being carried out, in June there was a re-increase in Omicron infections. «Is it not a coronavirus with us? We don’t know that. So little is tested that (…) a few cases of BA.4, the sub-variant that dominates in Western Europe, have been picked up so far, »he admits.

“There is no evidence that the masks weaken the immune system”
Finally, the last thing. The article suggests that we lost our immunity due to the masks. Agnieszka Szuster-Ciesielska writes directly: «How could masks lower immunity? After all, not everyone wore close-fitting FFP2 in all public places. We know what it looked like in reality: surgical masks, fabric masks that do not provide such protection as FFP2 or FFP3, and often not worn properly »- he reminds.
«The masks that were prevalent on our streets reduce the risk of exposure to the virus, but do not tolerate it completely. So it cannot be said that we have not had any contact with pathogens at all. And how many hours a day were these masks worn? After all, small children did not wear masks, and they also get sick »- points out the specialist.

«The masks inhibited the transmission of viruses, and due to the lack of contact with pathogens, the level of immunity in the population decreased. At the same time, the same masks did not prevent the transmission of SARS-CoV-2? There is no scientific evidence that masks weaken our immunity or that we lose it – it is the SARS-CoV-2 virus that does it »- emphasizes prof. Szuster-Ciesielska.
