Among the many terrible gain-of-function insertions to call SARS-CoV-2 home, the worst has long been – by some, anyhow – thought to be the inclusion of prionic domains in the spike protein, which would, hypothetically, set every one of us who suffered an infection, or received an mRNA hot shot, on a potentially decades-long, irreversible, and incurable path towards eventually fatal neurodegeneration and death. I have personally been concerned about it, and had been working on it, since March 18th, 2021, and made some good, albeit limited progress over time, with an unfortunate false start and a lot of difficulty along the way. While I wasn’t the first – I believe Dr. Kevin McCairn (not to be confused with Dr. McKernan, who recently sequenced SV40 DNA in the mRNA shots) rightly deserves that distinction, for his very early work on this – I was still pretty early, and it’s been a point of interest and investigation for me for quite some time. It has since been confirmed by NIH-affiliated scientists, and while there’s no planet on which ubiquitous exposure to a prion protein could be considered good news, there is in fact a saving grace which, in my opinion, makes this particular prion disease far less dangerous than initially thought.
Let’s dig into that.
