This video that covers our work showing how SARS-CoV-2 spreads in the brain and can cause #LongCovid is from almost 2 years ago. Unbelievable to see so little progress was made in this area... #CovidIsNotOver

I can't believe receiving messages like this is the new normal! This one (shared with permission) was written by a young white man in the healthcare sector - for those who believe #LongCovid only affects some groups. You can delete CDC files, but you can't delete sick people.💔

Many neurovascular problems associated with #Covid come from the virus hijacking the blood-brain barrier to gain access to the brain. @HarrySpoelstra is a cardiovascular surgeon, and I am a neuroscientist. These are our two fields combined. This is what viral hijacking looks like
SARS-CoV-2 induces blood-brain barrier and choroid plexus barrier impairments and vascular inflammation in mice ‼️Evidence piling up, AVOID REINFECTIONS! #BrainDamage ➡️"We observed clear evidence of microvascular damage and breakdown of the blood-brain barrier (BBB)." ➡️"Mechanistically, SARS-CoV-2 infection caused pericyte damage, tight junction loss, endothelial activation and vascular inflammation, which together drive microvascular injury and BBB impairment." ➡️"As SARS-CoV-2 will likely remain a major health issue for years to come, our findings provide a needed understanding of its impact on the major CNS barriers and brain homeostasis at both molecular and cellular levels." Growing Brain damage pathology with reinfections……indeed, A MAJOR HEALTH ISSUE! FYI @DaniBeckman

@CommunistoObama @Nature @HHMINEWS HHMI is not an ong, is the largest private biomedical research institution in the U.S, with $24 billion assets. They can push it back.

@jdpereira @Nature @HHMINEWS I imagine this as well. But if they were threatened, there is a chance it is illegal and should be aired in public for everyone to see. If someone can push it back, it is HHMI (24 billion assets), and this shows a bad message for the other smaller organizations...

Many are reporting getting their grants canceled in the middle of the program. Try to search for 'IE3 (Inclusive Excellence program)'. The links still appear, but the page returns to the general programs page. It really is like it never existed.

"SARS-CoV-2 immune protection is shaped by a dynamic interaction between host immunity and viral evolution, leading to contrasting reinfection patterns" = to #COVID behavior has been unpredictable so far. And yes, for actual scientists, we study the current stage of the pandemic
