Long-Covid & Long-Vax

Is it possible that one of the scourges of Covid could also be caused by the Covid vaccine? Here I am speaking about “long Covid,” and “post-vaccination syndrome. Long Covid is a chronic condition that results from a Covid infection and post-vaccination syndrome obviously results from the Covid vaccine. The symptoms of both can include headache, fatigue, brain fog, dizziness, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, etc. The cause of Long Covid is not precisely understood, although some think that it is due to the spike protein of the Covid virus.

From the Epoch Times:

Researchers from InCellDx, recently published a paper that demonstrated that the same spike protein could remain in immune cells for more than 245 days following vaccination. The study evaluated 50 patients who developed long COVID-like symptoms after the COVID-19 vaccine; none had been infected with the virus.

InCellDx also published a paper in 2022 showed that unvaccinated long-COVID patients could have spike protein persist in their immune cells for 15 months. In both papers, the spike proteins were detected in monocytes, immune cells that circulate the body.

The present study evaluated 50 patients who developed long COVID-like symptoms after the COVID-19 vaccine; none had been infected with the virus.

The authors extracted immune cells from 14 post-vaccine patients and found that 13 had spike protein in their immune cells. Asymptomatic vaccinated people had no spike present.

These findings indicate that the persistence of these spike proteins was likely the driver for the symptoms of long COVID and post-vaccine syndrome.”

In addition, just this week The Australian Journal of General Practice (the AJGP) came out with a long piece intimating that the spike protein in the vaccine could also be responsible for Long Covid. (AJGP is a peer-reviewed medical journal published by The Royal Australian College of General Practitioners. It is a well-respected journal indexed in all the major sci/med databases, and it is widely read by Australian doctors in general practice.)

So could it be that what “those who know best” told us, namely that the Covid vaccine would prevent Covid and thus prevent Long Covid, could have actually induced more Long Covid symptoms in patients because of the vaccine? 

The other interesting part of this Epoch Times article is that InCellDx founder and lead study author Dr. Bruce Patterson uses the same protocol for treating long COVID and post-vaccine syndrome. Both treatments entail curbing inflammation in the blood vessels and throughout the body. His protocol includes using maraviroc, an HIV drug, and atorvastatin, a type of statin, to target vasculature inflammation.

Could this be another use for statins? 

I wonder if there is any correlation between the taking of statins and the absence of either Long-Vax or Long Covid symptoms?
