The Spike Protein appears to induce massive release of iron from Ferritin, damaging the microvasculature much like after mini strokes.<\/p>\n
I would like to discuss an additional mechanism of microvascular damage today that the Spike Protein may induce. This mechanism can also help to explain the neurological symptoms of Long COVID \u2013 and why it resembles post stroke conditions. This mechanism starts with \u2013 the Endothelium. Brain endothelial cells contain high amounts of Ferritin.<\/p>\n
