Our new study shows that SARS-CoV-2 spike protein accumulates & persists in the body for years after infection, especially in the skull-meninges-brain axis, potentially driving long COVID. mRNA vaccines help but cannot stop it🔬🧠🦠🧵Your weekend read👇

Do Better at communicating.
Congratulations. You’re teaching & reaching regular folks with this skeet.

On the contrary, the Amish community is completely UNAFFECTED! No spike in cases, deaths, etc... so let's retain our healthy skepticism!
I never said they didn't have COVID, they had no spike in deaths or disproportional rates of contraction!
The fear-porn narrative would have had them all dead, if it were true - which it was NOT!
My second (sorry I’m not a doctor so probably not the target audience):
So basically. All of us who had Covid we are f***ed?
Most probably the second. In mice, we found that vaccination reduces the spike burden to about half (see below, less magenta (spike)), thus potentially reducing the long-term effects. We do not yet know how that translates to humans, as unfortunately, we did not have data for it.
At any rate, the degree of "help" that the vaccine presents, is not quantifiable at this point- We are still in the realm of speculation regarding vaccine efficacy in this matter - is that correct?
We found SARS-CoV-2 spike protein in the skull-meninges-brain axis in mouse models and human post-mortem tissues long after their COVID, which was associated with vascular, inflammatory changes in the brain along with neuronal damage.
To discover all tissues that are targeted by SARS-CoV-2, we used unbiased DISCO clearing technology and mapped tissues hit by coronavirus spike vs. Influenza HA proteins (flu)
I was wondering if I may use this adaptation of your images on my personal, non-profit website at https://c19.life/body?
If so, to whom might I attribute the copyright?

Outstanding.
However, there's a small typo in this screenshot: 'enourmous' should be 'enormous'.
My apologies for pointing it out.

Also if you're trying to suggest republicans don't get vaxxed, you should check how not all Dems update their covid vax either.
It only helps your chances of avoiding it.
Masking which most ppl don't, is the real tool for prevention. Dems don't even mask.
