Alex - thank you for being a real reporter.

I am an internist. I have many years of experience. Typically, I have not been ordering these antibody tests simply because they are not covered and are also not cheap. Your recent articles have made me rethink that decision. But I have had multiple patients with strange and very uncommon diagnoses who have been admitted to big academic centers, and they have had positive spike protein ( not antibody ) levels to varying degrees. Please note, spike protein analysis is not something available outside of big research centers, at least that I know of. The Yale study comes as no surprise to me. I think at this point we can be fairly sure it is happening. What we do not know is the rate at which it is happening. And because I have not seen your reported Yale study, I am not sure that question will be elucidated in any way. What I have been forced to rely on, in my world, are what I would call "stand-in" tests. Tests like ESR, CRP, and most importantly d-dimers. And because I have years of experience I am familiar with the positivity rates of these items. And what we are seeing is really quite different than past patterns. I would even consider it disturbing. Patients walking around in the world with low level d-dimers 24/7, indicating they are low-level clotting. And to this day, there is literally no advice or help from our agencies and big medical centers. I am doing my best - but I really do not know what to do with some of these people. Many respond to various things - many do not. But again there is no help, much less a recognition of any kind of problems. January 20th cannot come soon enough. At least I believe we will start to get somewhere. I would tell you that I firmly believe that either Long COVID or more likely Long Vax is a real thing. I have seen too many people suffering, patients that I have followed for years and have never behaved like this clinically. I have seen some of your commentary on this issue. I would ask you to reconsider your stance on this. As a scientist and a physician, I have had to reconsider my stance on many subjects regarding COVID the past few years. Reflection is important for the soul. If this study is true, having toxic spike protein floating around a patient's blood stream all the time could explain so much.

And again, thank you for all you have done. I know it may be hard to realize now, but you will be considered a hero for your actions one day.

Well, we’ve had proof showing permanent brain damage from adderall for years now… and pediatricians still hand it out like candy to children. I’m not holding my breath…

I do very much appreciate your work and effort, who knows, maybe a reckoning will finally come. Thank you!
