Could tiny blood clots cause long COVID’s puzzling symptoms?
Nature ^

Posted on 08/25/2022 6:51:25 AM PDT by FarCenter

...

Researchers are baffled by long COVID: hundreds of studies have tried to unpick its mechanism, without much success. Now some scientists, and an increasing number of people with the condition, have been lining up behind the as-yet-unproven hypothesis that tiny, persistent clots might be constricting blood flow to vital organs, resulting in the bizarre constellation of symptoms that people experience.

Proponents of the idea (#teamclots, as they sometimes refer to themselves on Twitter) include Etheresia Pretorius, a physiologist at Stellenbosch University in South Africa, and Douglas Kell, a systems biologist at the University of Liverpool, UK, who led the first team to visualize micro-clots in the blood of people with long COVID. They say that the evidence implicating micro-clots is undeniable, and they want trials of the kinds of anticoagulant treatment that Hawthorne is considering. Pretorius penned the Guardian article that caught Hawthorne’s attention.

...

Pretorius first saw these strange, densely matted clots in the blood of people with a clotting disorder2, but she and Kell have since observed the phenomenon in a range of conditions1 — diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease, to name a few. But the idea never gained much traction, until now.

So let’s create a novel gene therapy that causes your own body to make even more of the pathogenic Covid spike proteins, for months, or possibly forever!

GREAT IDEA!

Excellent Mark Steyn video at link.

After a famous Scottish mountain biker won a big race, then died 2 days later of heart failure.

Ditto a famous rugby player, and the UK media pretends not to notice.

Must be climate change. Or Putin.

Utter BS, particularly since they’re lumping loss of smell & taste in with the symptoms. Lousy science, but - then again - their track history on science has been utter fail.

I’m convinced that the virus goes latent, and that it’s a spike protein issue (blood toxicity and/or inflammation response). Given my SIL’s issues and now resolved loss of smell, there’s validity to that statement.

I have my own lingering issues, albeit so minor it still hasn’t prompted me to secure a source for Ivermectin (still looking; any recent purchases by FReepers, please FReepmail me a source. Much appreciated.).

This is nu?!

I was told 2 years ago to take aspirin when I had Covid and to continue for at least two weeks.

Or, Sudden Adult Death Syndrome which has been around since the 1970s.

Seems a lot of “old” things that work are now being “released to the public”. Another recent example: mouthwash with cetylpyridinium chloride that FLCCC recommended and we’ve had in-stock in covid supplies and used for over a year...comes out in an AUGUST 2022 study.
