Yesterday we released “The Persistent Dozen.”
It includes 12 papers on SARS-CoV-2 persistence. There are 100s & we are currently sorting through them, but here are 12 interesting ones.
There is no doubt, SC2 & spike protein persist.

These are 12 of 100s of papers that show, or discuss, SARS-CoV-2 viral persistence, spike protein persistence, or SC2 particle persistence.
There is absolutely no doubt, SARS-CoV-2 persists & those with Long COVID face unique issues that can’t be dealt with via conflation.

3/16/25 is the last day of Long Covid Awareness week, so …
let’s never forget that SARS-CoV-2 persists when demanding better testing, trials, & treatments.
Cure Long COVID!
