Adam Gaertner has provided a fine summary of where we are now in terms of theories about what COVID-19 is really doing to the world:
"This is where this story takes a decidedly dark turn. You may have heard of prions in passing; perhaps in the context of the United Kingdom’s outbreak of bovine spongiform encephalopathy, aka mad cow disease, in the ’80s, or as an interesting fact about Papua New Guinean cannibalistic tribes suffering from Kuru, or the genetically inherited Italian disease, fatal familial insomnia. However, this one is going to hit much closer to home."
"The concept of a prion is very simple. Compare it to gray goo, or strange matter; a prion is (generally) a misfolded protein, an incredibly tiny formation of sugars, that converts other proteins to its own misfolded shape[52]. All proteins have some natural function[53]; a pathogenic prion protein ceases being able to fulfil its natural function[54], and in converting other proteins, begins to create aggregations, known as plaques. Alzheimer’s disease, for example, begins with the aggregation of such proteins[55], and importantly, the subsequent immune response[56], once the aggregate has grown sufficiently to begin damaging other tissues. Notably, a useful immune response does not take place at an early stage[57]; as such proteins are natural elements of the body, albeit misfolded, they are initially recognized as such and tolerated by the immune system. Ordinarily, a prion is transmitted by the consumption of infected meats or brain tissue, and can take years or decades to cause neurodegenerative disease[58]."
"However, the spike protein is not a natural prion. There are three regions of the spike contributing to prionic activity; the alpha-1 helix on the receptor binding domain[31], the gp120 insert, and the PRRA insert[59]. These are expected to interact with the natural PrPC protein in the brain, as well as the p53 prion-like tumor suppressor protein inside the cell cytosol[60][61], and convert them into the pathogenic PrPSC form, which then begins creating protein aggregates. Until recently, this was only theory, widely dismissed by the medical and academic communities as “anti-vax” conspiracy theory[62]. With zero evidence of this process actually taking place in reality, this position was generally accepted, and little attention had been paid to it. Only a very few independent researchers[63], outside the constraints and expectations of the mainstream academic community, and a very few professionals with the integrity to report their scientific findings without consideration of such political backlash, had noticed and highlighted the possibility of this scenario. However, sufficient time has passed that this pathology is now beginning to cause symptomatic disease[32][64]. “Sufficient time” in the context of ordinary prion disease, as mentioned previously, could often be on the order of years or decades. However, this timescale is only due to the fact that in the case of ordinary transmission, only a very few prion proteins will infect an organism. In this case, we are injecting trillions of them[65][66], into billions of people[67]. The fact that neurodegenerative disease is already being observed in vulnerable populations[32], mere months after the beginning of the wide-scale vaccination programs, is a terrifying indicator of the fact that it will not take anywhere near so long as usual to see the outbreak of extremely widespread prion disease, for which we presently have no cure[68][69]."
