Complete loss or mutation of p53 doesn’t cause cancer immediately either in mice or humans. Similarly HPV E6 takes years to cause cervical or head and neck cancer (and there’s an effective vaccine for HPV). These things are well known.

But clearly loss of p53 is associated with…

I’m at a complete loss of what to do with year 11. Two weeks until their speaking exams and most of them just could not care less. Many haven’t completed the work I have given them to prepare, I have offered after school support which they don’t come to and parents don’t care 🤯

.Prof. Karl Lauterbach im Anschluss an den 3. Runden Tisch #LongCOVID : „Long COVID wird nach wie vor unterschätzt. Wir haben sehr viele Fälle und mit jeder Infektionswelle kommen weitere hinzu. Aktuell haben wir für viele dieser Fälle, z. B. bei #MECFS , noch keine Heilung.“
