I thought the same weeks ago and posted about it, not so much like I originally said about helping us not catching it, but, if we did catch it our immune response wouldn't be the same due to the anti tnf.

These links might be an interesting read. First link from Nras explaining how anti tnfs work, following three are articles I've read about covid and RA drugs.

Thank you. My rheumatologist has told me about this a couple of months ago so it's nice to see it reported x
