I'm glad this is getting attention, but I don't like how this line is written:
"Most bizarrely of all, when researchers tested blood samples taken years before the pandemic started, they found T cells which were specifically tailored to detect proteins on the surface of Covid-19."
If you look at the linked article (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0092867420306103?via%3Dihub https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S009286742...), it is pretty clearly stated that these T cells are considered cross reactive (maybe arising from previous exposures to other coronaviruses). They couldn't be specific for a virus when they arose before that virus even started spreading.
