1/5 A new #Covid_19 autopsy study finds viral persistence in the cartilage rings surrounding the bronchi in the lungs. These patients were testing negative by PCR for Covid-19 but had persistent lung inflammation - eventually resulting in their death. doi.org/10.1002/path.6…
2/5 POTENTIALLY, viral persistence in the bronchial cartilage could relate to the chest/rib pains experienced by many with Long Covid #pwLC and Post-Vax symptoms #vaccineinjuries This is one of the top 30 symptoms from my informal patient surveys. recoverfromlongcovid.com/vaccine-injure…
3/5 "antibodies against both spike and nucleocapsid revealed the frequent (70%) infection of bronchial cartilage chondrocytes and para-bronchialgland epithelial cells. In a few patients (19%), we also detected positivity in vascular pericytes and endothelial cells"
4/5 "Together, these findings indicate that SARS-CoV-2 infection can persist significantly longer than suggested by standard PCR-negative tests, with specific infection of specific cell types in the lung." i.e. > 9 months
5/5 "Whether these persistently infected cells also play a pathogenic role in long COVID remains to be addressed."
