Steve: “P. Yoelli is the bridge for malaria between mice and humans.”
Me: Where did get this idea?

Steve: “While P. vivax is identified as a major cause of severe and cerebral malaria in South east Asia, the Pacific and South America, most of the severe and cerebral cases in Africa were attributed to P. falciparum”
Me: Where did you get this information? While P. vivax can go cerebral, it is fairly rare, and P. falciparum is the one to worry about on that score, including in SE Asia where I lived.

Steve: “we noted that the basal ganglia were the most common area of involvement in the ret group (with children affected by Cerebral Malaria)” The report also says there is abnormalities with grey matter.

Me: First, CM in children differs quite a bit from CM in adults, but leaving that aside, this paper also notes hemozoin staining of the brains of these poor children. Now, if, as you claim, the brains of Covid patients are being damaged because the protein spikes are actually P. Yoelli (which only affects mice anyway) where is the hemozoin in Covid patients? Nowhere. Malaria parasites are also nowhere. They are easily seen in blood smears using an ordinary microscope (you need a scanning electron microscope to get an image of SARS-COV-2). If your theory is correct, why are there no malaria parasites found in the blood of Covid patients? Why no hemozoin?

Steve: said, “A myriad of diseases and medical conditions can cause brain fog”
True though not with covid.
basal ganglia (core part of the brain) in both malaria and covid seem to have similar effects. This report shows the effects of covid on the brain. Note around the basal ganglia they name the areas it effects.

Me: Actually, the pattern of damage from CM is rather diffuse, as noted in the paper, whereas in Covid patients there is a pattern of olfactory and gustatory areas affected first. This likely has to do with how SARS-COV-2 manages to enter through the nasal passages. How malaria parasites manage to penetrate the BBB is still a bit if a mystery and being researched, but certainly it is not via the nasal passages.
Steve: “PS- wrote this when I was really tired. mistakes is likely a given.”
I can appreciate that, but your original premise that the SARS-COV-2 protein spike is actually a murine malaria parasite is, I’m sorry, absurd. I am trying not to be unkind, but absurd it is.
You have made all sorts of wild associations, as in ivermectin (traditionally used to treat parasites of the helminthic persuasion, and also of the arthropodal), appears to be effective in treating Covid patients, ergo the spike protein is really a parasite of the protozoan persuasion!
I will give you the benefit of the doubt in assuming you must have confused ivermectin with hydroxychloroqine (traditionally used to treat malaria). But you clearly lack even a rudimentary high school understanding of taxonomy, let alone of malaria parasites and how they affect the human body. Go back to links in my earlier posts and begin your study. Spend time doing more research, and start with the basics. You Q followers pride yourselves on doing your own research, so buckle down and do it properly this time.
Again, you are picking out little phrases in various studies and thinking this proves something, drawing illogical conclusions by making dubious associations. It’s as though you noticed that children used the same yellow crayon when drawing a picture of the sun and when coloring a picture of a lemon, then accusing doctors of causing suffering and even death from sun poisoning because they advised people to use sunscreen and avoid prolonged sun exposure, when lemons are the real culprit and they should have told people to stay clear of them.
I would not be so hard on you if you were not giving out medical advice and claiming doctors are killing Covid patients with Decadron.
I leave you with an easy-to-understand article on why it is theorized that hydroxychloroquine might be effective in treating both malaria and Covid, even though they are caused by vastly different organisms:
