Most explanations for why SARS-CoV-2 spread so efficiently focus on the spike protein.
This paper goes in a different direction.
It’s mostly a hypothesis paper - but an interesting one - asking whether part of the story lies in the physical architecture of the virus itself🧵

Clues to Long COVID Linked to Virulence and Infectivity Found in Shell Proteins

🚨Very interesting but difficult science( at least for me 😊 ), underscoring again my years old stand: SarsCoV2 is far more than a S-prot!!

➡️1. SARS-CoV-2's membrane (M) protein exhibits abnormally low intrinsic disorder (PID ~4–6.3%), creating an unusually hard outer shell that resists antimicrobial enzymes in saliva/mucus, driving massive viral shedding and high infectivity compared to SARS-CoV-1,

➡️2. The nucleocapsid (N) protein shows relatively lower disorder than SARS-CoV-1, correlating with efficient replication, moderate virulence, and attenuated variants like Omicron (lower N PID ≈44%),

➡️3. Hard M protein enables viral persistence in phagocytes (e.g,

Remember years ago when they said the prevalence of Long Covid was only like 3%? Then it crept up to like 8-10%. Now some studies show 30+%. I don’t know about you, but I’m beginning to see a pattern.

Understanding Long COVID, Supporting Patients, Advancing SolutionsWhat Is Long COVID? Long COVID is a serious chronic disease that can affect multiple body systems and significantly disrupt daily life. Long COVID affects 5–7 % of U.S. adults—roughly 18 million people, according to the CDC. Long COVID remains an ongoing public health challenge requiring continued research, clinical innovation, and coordinated response.

RFK Jr and HHS have launched a new website dedicated to Long COVID.

Please remain skeptical: They will offer more junk science than real solutions, and use this as another opportunity to spread misinformation about vaccines.

Was feeling discouraged about not making much progress in the fight to shift Covid policy 6 yrs in, but then a
family member called to say they put a HEPA filter in their office because of me

They were tired of being sick & knew there had to be a better way.

It's the small things ☺️

Thank you for the boost!

I'm still here fighting the good fight, and more followers helps me spread the message and keep standing up for people, keep speaking truth to power.

Chuck Borges is a whistleblower who reported the massive theft of our personal data from the Social Security Administration by Elon Musk and DOGE.

I am thinking he should probably have a lot more followers.

He’s the whistleblower who reported that our data were being stolen from the Social Security Administration in broad daylight.

I think he needs more followers. This kind of courage is rare.

Thank you for 2k.

This started as a way to share information.

Now it's distributing biospecimens to labs, prioritizing drugs, designing a GLP-1 trial, interviewing at ARPA-H twice, and building a clinical trial startup.

Grateful the word gets out and the work is recognized.

It staggers me how fast the vast majority of people - including medical professionals - have normalised infection with a virus that can cause cognitive dysfunction / anosmia. SARS-2 is definitively not 'just another respiratory virus', yet society is just shoehorning it in there.

I could use some help. I have bills due and deadlines approaching. I’m applying for jobs and interviewing, but my disability payments stopped last year and my appeal is stalled, so the situation is difficult now. I have a hearing next month to get custody of my children back from their abusive mom 🙏🏼

Doctors, please listen to patients and emerging science!

We need to discuss, weigh risks and benefits and try treatment courses you might not be familiar with because long Covid is under-researched and lacks guidelines. Existing flowcharts are not enough.

The Obvious Is Taking Its Revenge on Trump The reasons other U.S. presidents avoided war with Iran are becoming all too evident.

“When past presidents balked at the possibility of war with Iran, they weren’t just dodging a hard choice; they were deterred by all of the obvious reasons a conflict could perilously spiral,” Franklin Foer argues.

"Getting infections is not a wellness strategy."

Omg - thank you Dr @donvinh.bsky.social 👏

You can't get infected to not get infected. You can't get infected to improve your health.

SICKNESS. IS. NOT. HEALTH!

I don’t want 99% of the “advancements” being forced on and/or sold to me.

I want clean air, clean water, and a stable ecosystem and planet. I want free healthcare and education. I want justice and collective liberation.
