Spike protein at skull-meninges axis may drive Covid-19 neurological effects

so sorry to hear you're going through long covid. i've had it for almost four years.

there is a lot of hope and upcoming RCTs:

here are proposed mechanisms by some of the leading researchers in this field:

The Moderna spike and the Pfizer spike are both “inflated” by edits to the gene that cause some different arrangements of the protein structure that causes the spike to be more rigid and closer to the shape it has when embedded on the virus surface. I imagine that there is some threshold where something too thin or too small begins to be hard to clean up, and the vaccine-induced spikes are above that line, while the natural spikes detached from the virus are under. I’m a computer person so probably not correct, but I’m not blindly guessing, either.

More antibodies against spike protein, T cells have an idea of what to respond to, and less IL-6 cytokines meaning less inflammation.
