Pleased to announce that we will shortly have a lab in Texas capable of processing nasal swab RT-QuIC prion testing. That will go a very long way to being able to either put the concern of widespread prion disease to rest – or, to confirm it.
More detail to follow this week.

Stay tuned for more information as this progresses.
The other implication is also that there would be no further reason to suspect SARS-CoV-2 itself may cause prion disease in the long term. However, there is still significant evidence of a-syn amyloid. https://t.co/TlsAhvtnLe

UVB light at 290nm, which reaches the Earth's surface from the Sun, appears to disable prion protein.
This may mean that the risk of outdoor prion fomite transmission is nil.
Thanks @rifi_s

Interesting study providing a difference in prion infectiousness dependent on log concentration. Need a model to extrapolate to levels of spike exposure to predict potential rates of prion disease to occur from SARS-CoV-2 spike exposure. https://t.co/QNvGLxIzrA β COVIDCandy (@covidcandy) July 26, 2021
Last tweet about prions, I had 10 anecdotes. Since that thread, I now have 25 people&carers reporting the same pattern. I am writing a case series on these widespread reports of prion disease. Know someone that sharply declined ~2 weeks after the π with π§ issues? Speak up: π β Adam Gaertner πΊπΈπΊπΈπΊπΈ (@veryvirology) July 18, 2021

It is critical for people to understand information about the Drugs being used for Vaccines including Novavax. Here is how Novavax is made. What's being injected is the spike protein and other irritants. It still contains the PRIONs of gp120 & the PLD near receptor binding site. pic.twitter.com/sqcvZk4Uyb β Dr Richard M Fleming (@Doctor_I_am_The) July 9, 2021
