Good points, thanks! If I didn’t communicate disagreeing with the scare neologism “prion-like”, I meant to.

Moreover, we don’t care if spike proteins misfold and cause other spike proteins to misfold. We only care about self proteins. But if a short duration pulse of spike protein from vaccination could cause a self protein to misfold, so could the virus’s spike protein (from exposure or infection). A mRNA vaccine can’t produce a spike protein conformationally different from what the virus makes, because both use the same factory (ribosome, chaperones etc).

My knowledge of prions is limited, but I thought they were much larger than the spike protein;

and I read once (don't know if it was speculation, or has since been verified) that deer had "chronic wasting disease" which was caused by prions;

IIRC the article mentioned something to do with the conformation of brain proteins around copper at the protein centers (i.e. many enzymes have metallic ions near the active site), and a surplus or deficit of copper in their diets had something to do with it.

IF that was accurate

AND that is a good analogue for human prions in neurodegenerative diseases

then if COVID vaccines caused prion-like behavior in viral proteins,

you'd have to explain the mechanism; just blathering about "prion-like stretches"

(of genetic sequences OR the resultant polypeptide segments)

isn't gonna cut it for me.

VAERS reports a breastfeeding five-month old infant has died of TTP - a rare clotting disorder linked to, yes, low platelets. He became ill one day after his mother received her second @pfizer shot.
