We’re talking about significant surges in antibodies against critical G-protein coupled receptors.
And it’s affecting young adults recovering from COVID.

These antibodies can mistakenly activate or block these receptors, causing a systemic disarray in the body's signaling pathways.
The result is a cascade of malfunctions.

The heart may beat erratically, blood pressure can fluctuate wildly, and other essential bodily functions may go awry.
This biological turmoil can translate into chronic conditions, severely diminishing quality of life and posing a long-term burden on health systems.
