I am uncertain about how to interact verbally on these issues - partly because I am quite deaf these days. It as good that Robert's question was...
Not particularly. Autoimmunity is only one of several mechanisms that might produce long term sequelae after infection and, as I said, is probably...
Autoimmunity is a fact rather than a theory. People with certain diseases have antibodies to their own proteins (or DNA or even sugar epitopes)....
