SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein Accumulation in the Skull-Meninges-Brain Axis: Potential Implications for Long-Term Nuerological Complication in post-Covid-19
Dr. Bhattacharya, a public health policy expert from before the pandemic, celebrated the passage of Florida’s new health-freedom law, SB 252, observing that the pandemic has changed his mind about the role of public health:
Before the pandemic, I naively thought that a commitment to basic ethical principles constrained public health actions, and would therefore have opposed the Florida bill banning discrimination based on vaccination status. Now, I see the bill’s wisdom. I have learned not to trust public health authorities with expansive power anymore.
First, Taiwan’s excess deaths, which coincidentally started around the time of its vaccine campaign, seem to be slowly falling from historically high levels:
The good news is the numbers are slowly coming down as jabbed Taiwanese die off, although the decrease could just be a reporting artifact, since the most recent deaths are not yet fully counted. But the trend line is optimistic, and not just for Taiwan. Let’s hope the decrease is NOT a reporting artifact.
The researchers explained their troubling findings:
Our results revealed the accumulation of the spike protein in the skull marrow, brain meninges, and brain parenchyma. The injection of the spike protein alone caused cell death in the brain, highlighting a direct effect on brain tissue. Furthermore, we observed the presence of spike protein in the skull of deceased long after their COVID-19 infection, suggesting that the spike’s persistence may contribute to long-term neurological symptoms.
Notice how they said, “injection of the spike protein alone.” Meaning, without the virus. They didn’t come right out and say it, but they basically said it. The researchers explicitly reported they found the damaging brain injuries even in subjects that were not covid infected, leaving only one other potential source of spike, and you know what that is:
However, even without detectable virus RNA in the brain parenchyma, signs of widespread immune activation could be detected. The lack of evidence for the viral presence and especially viral replication in the brain led to the hypothesis that virus-shed proteins circulating in the bloodstream may promote an inflammatory response independent of direct viral infection of the affected organs, including the brain. Notably, the highly immunogenic spike protein, also used in COVID-19 vaccines, might be a candidate for triggering infection-independent effects.
Uh oh. Other studies have concluded that free spike, such as produced by the jabs, can cross the blood-brain barrier. But this study found another, different way for spike to get into the brain — through cerebral bone marrow.
As a sort of bonus, the researchers dyed the spike protein and found that it accumulates in lots of humanized mouse organs, including but not only the brain:
The researchers were diligent and careful. Their preprint is twenty-five pages long, and included 115 footnoted references and nine linked videos.
Spike-induced brain damage could explain a whole lot, don’t you think?
