NYC man’s fatal brain disease linked to COVID-19: ‘Highly likely’
NY Post ^ | 09/22/2023 | Andrew Court

Posted on 09/22/2023 1:18:17 PM PDT by DFG

While long-term COVID-19 can cause brain fog, erectile dysfunction and hair loss, experts say the coronavirus could also contribute to another health condition: deadly brain disease.

Doctors from Mount Sinai Queens’ said it’s “highly likely” COVID contributed to a New York City man developing fatal prion disease.

Two months before he was admitted to the hospital, the 62-year-old Queens local started to drool and move at a slower pace, the doctors wrote in an article published Thursday by the American Journal of Case Reports.

The unidentified man was only taken to the medical facility after he was found at home after a fall, unable to walk and confabulating, with intermittent, brief rapid involuntary jerks.

“On admission, he was found to be COVID-19 positive, but was . . . asymptomatic aside from the typical COVID respiratory manifestations,” the case study read.

Medics performed a series of tests on the man, including CT and MRI scans of the brain, “both of which were repeated twice and were normal without any diffusion restriction.”

However, the man’s condition continued to deteriorate.

“Approximately 3 weeks into hospitalization, the patient became progressively mute and had difficulty swallowing soft foods, requiring PEG [percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy] tube placement,” the doctors wrote of the need for the feeding tube. “He subsequently became spastic with severe pain on passive flexion-extension. Six weeks after admission, the patient was declared dead.”

Poor dude had a cold and got prion disease from his jabs.

When I get Fatal Brain Disease, I try not to think about it.

So just out of curiosity I wanted to see how biased Google was on this. So I searched for “covid vaccines known to cause prion disease”
The very first result:

...There is no evidence to suggest that Covid-19 vaccines can cause prion diseases...

Schooling down a few links I then find this:

“For the second time this year, scientists are reporting progress on developing a vaccine that might delay, and possibly prevent, prion disease in people and...”

....according to this study (which the usual faucie types attacked as needing to be “fact checked)

COVID-19 RNA Based Vaccines and the Risk of Prion Disease
Authors: J. Bart Classen

Development of new vaccine technology has been plagued with problems in the past. The current RNA based SARSCoV-2 vaccines were approved in the US using an emergency order without extensive long term safety testing. In this paper the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine was evaluated for the potential to induce prion-based disease in vaccine recipients. The RNA sequence of the vaccine as well as the spike protein target interaction were analyzed for the potential to convert intracellular RNA binding proteins TAR DNA binding protein (TDP-43) and Fused in Sarcoma (FUS) into their pathologic prion conformations. The results indicate that the vaccine RNA has specific sequences that may induce TDP-43 and FUS to fold into their pathologic prion confirmations. In the current analysis a total of sixteen UG tandem repeats (ΨGΨG) were identified and additional UG (ΨG) rich sequences were identified. Two GGΨA sequences were found. Potential G Quadruplex sequences are possibly present but a more sophisticated computer program is needed to verify these. Furthermore, the spike protein, created by the translation of the vaccine RNA, binds angiotensin converting enzyme 2 (ACE2), a zinc containing enzyme. This interaction has the potential to increase intracellular zinc. Zinc ions have been shown to cause the transformation of TDP-43 to its pathologic prion configuration. The folding of TDP-43 and FUS into their pathologic prion confirmations is known to cause ALS, front temporal lobar degeneration, Alzheimer’s disease and other neurological degenerative diseases. The enclosed finding as well as additional potential risks leads the author to believe that regulatory approval of the RNA based vaccines for SARS-CoV-2 was premature and that the vaccine may cause much more harm than benefit.

The ONLY people I know who have had Covid more than once are those who’ve been jabbed. I had it one time (it wasn’t that bad) and now have natural immunity. Most everyone who has been jabbed has some side effects.

Agree...

I know three who just returned from a cruise.....all jabbed....all came back with china virus. Two of them have had cv multi times, since jabs.

For approximately 1% of the people with COVID, they can experience seizures. Studies from 2022 and 2023 show that seizures after exposure can start up to six months after infection.

Why do I know these stats?

I’m having them.

Dead drop to the floor, I stop breathing, my eyes glaze over, and when it passes, I puke. My brain gets scrambled for a few hours to a day. Slurred speech, disorientation, heart pounding out of your chest, and blinding migraine..a real Charlie Foxtrot that scares the heck out of my family and causes our otherwise quiet dog to bark for help and whimper by my side. Even our old tomcat (passed this summer) would run to me and start headbutting me.

It’s a real knee-slapper to be lying helpless on the floor, vaguely aware that you are slowly suffocating during flashes of lucidity, and you can’t even draw breath to call out for help. My family and I now use the ASL sign for help when I am in distress.

I get that people here like to brush off COVID or presume that folks with nasty responses are out of shape slobs with co-morbidities.

I was not. I was slim, healthy, still attractive, and lead an active, full life.

Not anymore. Fauci took that from me.

FYI, never vaxxed. I was not going to willingly inject that crap into my body. COVID did enough damage.

‘Spikeopathy’: COVID-19 Spike Protein Is Pathogenic, from Both Virus and Vaccine mRNA

Loved this bit...

...This paper reviews autoimmune, cardiovascular, neurological, potential oncological effects, and autopsy evidence for spikeopathy. With many gene-based therapeutic technologies planned, a re-evaluation is necessary and timely...

Ya think?!

You might try to get in touch with The Wellness Center (Dr. McCullough) or Dr. Kory at his clinic - they treat Long COVID & Long Vax which have similar symptoms. There are also naturopaths treating long COVID/Vax, neurological symptoms which you have (check out Dr. Ealy, Dr. Ardis, Dr. Schmidt on Looking 4 Healing Radio Podcast to hear what they have to say, what they see working).

Dr. McCullough just came out with a Base Detox - seeing improvement in patients.

You should also listen to this podcast by Sharyl Attkisson:

https://traffic.megaphone.fm/APO7267522693.mp3

“If the lead researchers on the topic are correct, nearly all of us will be impacted. Note: “Long Covid” or “Long Vax” can be one single thing; such as a stroke, tremors, atrial fibrillation, shortness of breath, tiredness, seizure, paralysis, brain fog, nerve pain; or an entire constellation of symptoms. Start learning more so you can get help for yourself or those you care about, and encourage the research that will answer questions and find effective treatments. Scientists say Long Vax and Long Covid can arise soon after infection or vaccination, or even emerge months or years later. The symptoms are as wide ranging as an individual and can include: brain problems, microclots and other blood disorders, paralysis, weakness, extreme tiredness, gastrointestinal problems, nerve damage, heart problems, diabetes and other kidney and immune issues, chronic fatigue syndrome, POTS and more. “

I’m scheduled to see Dr. McCullough next month. Because my autonomic functions shut down during my seizures, they wait-listed me. My original appointment was for January, then bumped to November, then bumped to October. A week after that appointment, I’m going to an advanced neurology clinic in DFW.
