Spike protein implicated in post-COVID-19 memory loss

Patients diagnosed with post-COVID-19 syndrome often experience cognitive and memory impairments. A new study provides insight into the mechanism behind this phenomenon.

The study suggests that the Spike protein, responsible for the virus's entry into human cells, could be responsible for memory loss in post-COVID-19 syndrome. The study also identifies TLR4 receptor as a potential therapeutic target for the symptoms.

The study involved experiments with mice, where the researchers infused the Spike protein from SARS-CoV-2 into the brains of the animals. The results showed that the infusion induced delayed memory impairment, similar to post-COVID-19 syndrome in humans. The scientists observed an increase in the quantity and activation state of microglia, a type of brain cell involved in the innate immune response, and whose role is essential in neuroinflammatory diseases.

The study leaders, Claudia Figueiredo and Giselle Passos from the UFRJ's School of Pharmacy, explained that the activation of the TRL4 receptor by the viral protein induces neuroinflammation, leading to the elimination of synaptic proteins by microglia through a phagocytosis process. This results in memory impairment.

The phenomenon was observed in both mice and humans, and patients with polymorphisms in the gene related to TLR4 were found to have a higher risk of developing late memory impairments after SARS-CoV-2 infection.

The researchers concluded that the Spike protein has a central role in the development of cognitive changes after COVID-19 and suggested that TLR4 is a promising target for the development of preventive and therapeutic strategies to avoid or treat memory loss caused by SARS-CoV-2.

Tell me it’s the clot shot without telling me it’s the clot shot.

The time travelling vaccine strikes yet again! Causing the things COVID19 infections cause before it even existed!

Not quite as striking as the claims it was causing the health trends from data sets taken from the 1990s to the mid 2010s, etc. before both the vaccine and COVID19 itself, as claimed by you all in other threads, but still, requires time travel. Just another piece of evidence of its time travelling abilities...how long before it is no longer a theory? Also causing suicides and drug overdoses, regardless of vaccination status, as you all have said repeatedly on those respective threads.

Well, I don’t know about the WuFlu causing this but I know of someone who took about 3 or 4 EGT shots and now has both serious hearing and memory loss....

I was talking with a man a couple of weeks back. He said since he got the COVID Vaxx he can’t remember what he did three minutes ago.

His daughter came to visit him. He got up and hugged her. She went out to get something from her car and he greeted her and hugged and kissed her. She asked her mom if dad didn’t remember greeting her two minutes before.

He said he starts driving home from work and can’t remember where he was going. Of how to get there.

Pointing this out only serves to convince them that time travel is real. In the logic optional world all things are possible.

Don’t lash out at other people if you have regret over getting the clot shots.
