Watched this incredibly moving true story of 'Odette' a French woman, a British Spy in WWII, held in solitary confinement by the Gestapo for 2 years, finally in a camp. She still firmly loved humanity, clung to hope & refused to be bitter. A reminder not lose sight of the wonder in God's creation.

If we want to avoid vaccine hesirency in future emergencies, clinical trial data should be transparent. Pfizer have been forced to provide UNREDACTED files, and even still, the EMA has apparently attempted to keep some of those hidden feom the public. officialema.substack.com/p/update-aug-2…

My heart's desire is that research is shared between long covid and vaccine injury and solutions are found. Massive numbers are affected and could be reclaiming their lives.

Please note. This is NOT my post but copied from.X. I shared because it resonates with me. There has been little funding for research into covid vaccine injury but we do know immune cells are exhausted, spike protein persists in many cases and dormant viruses awaken.

scottishvig.bsky.social @scottishvig.bsky.social · 04/08/2026
Those are exactly the cells that normally keep herpesviruses pinned down. When they flag, the leash loosens from the other end too. So spike contributes to reactivation both metabolically and immunologically at once.
000
scottishvig.bsky.social @scottishvig.bsky.social · 04/08/2026
A second route to reactivation. T cell exhaustion. LC patients show worn out T cells. Less IFN-γ, more exhaustion markers (PD-1, TIM-3), weaker killer (cytotoxic) responses.
100
scottishvig.bsky.social @scottishvig.bsky.social · 04/08/2026
A concrete link. The spike driven shift in monocyte metabolism (more glycolysis, less mitophagy) directly boosts herpesvirus gene expression in myeloid (bone marrow derived) cells. That would explain why long COVID cohorts often show elevated HHV-6/HHV-7 DNA and early antigen markers

scottishvig.bsky.social @scottishvig.bsky.social · 04/08/2026
Almost all of us carry them for life, tucked away in immune and nerve cells, kept quiet only by a functioning immune system. The model's claim - spike systematically dismantles that control.
100
scottishvig.bsky.social @scottishvig.bsky.social · 04/08/2026
So now cytokine surges, oxidative stress, muted interferon, exhausted immunity - that's exactly the environment where latent herpesviruses (HHV-6, HHV-7, EBV) lose their leash and wake up.
100
scottishvig.bsky.social @scottishvig.bsky.social · 04/08/2026
It even alters chromatin accessibility (how tightly DNA is packed and readable), drops the activity of respiratory complex I, and suppresses type I interferon - the body's first-line antiviral alarm. The cell essentially disarms itself.
100
scottishvig.bsky.social @scottishvig.bsky.social · 04/08/2026
Step three. The metabolic hit. Spike pushes the cell out of antiviral mode into a permissive one. It dials down oxidative phosphorylation (mitos main way of making energy), ramps up glycolysis (emergency energy mode), stalls mitophagy (cleanup of damaged mito).

scottishvig.bsky.social @scottishvig.bsky.social · 04/08/2026
The inflammation uncouples from its original trigger and runs on its own, even after the virus is gone. And NF-κB isn't only about inflammation - it also governs mitochondrial function, oxidative stress, and cell death. One switch stuck on, wide blast radius.
100
scottishvig.bsky.social @scottishvig.bsky.social · 04/08/2026
Step two. Why it doesn't stop. Sustained NF-κB activation in monocytes and macrophages sets up a self feeding loop. Cytokines trigger more cytokines.

scottishvig.bsky.social @scottishvig.bsky.social · 04/08/2026
molecules like IL-6, IL-1β, TNF-α. TLR4 lights up especially when spike is riding on microvesicles (membrane bubbles shed by cells), and that amplifies vascular damage, microvascular instability, and clotting problems

scottishvig.bsky.social @scottishvig.bsky.social · 04/08/2026
Mechanism, step one. The inflammatory switch. Spikes S1 subunit binds the innate immune receptors TLR2 and TLR4, fires the NF-κB pathway (master inflammation regulator) and floods the area with pro inflammatory cytokines - .

scottishvig.bsky.social @scottishvig.bsky.social · 04/08/2026
Spike isn't just a structural protein, it's a strongly immunomodulatory molecule - it interferes with immune signaling and cellular metabolism. If fragments persist in tissue, they keep poking the immune system long after the acute infection clears.

Caring has been central to my life, and the lives of millions across the country. I'll be meeting the Prime Minister today to discuss how we can finally find a solution to the care crisis. We need to do things differently. I really hope we are on a journey to fix this.

Do you think all washing machines and drains should have filters? We filter all our drinking water but would go further if able. Next, establish if the microplastics contributed to the heart attack or not, or to ADHD, fatigue, cancer, vascular issues, dementia...They certainly can't be helpful!.

Yes, there are undoubtedly risks. Every time I come off it I spiral downhill. Tge first time I ever used it I could luterally feel the change within hours. I am presently trying to support my body and find alternatives. For me it's not Covid but the Vaccine (Astra Zeneca) that caused my issues.

Please share some of the new studies if you have time. I will pass on to our group. With no formal support, we are curious, constantly researching and know that the simplest things can help. We want to move away from being heavily medicated and take back our health, take a holistic approach

👍 I am trying William Davis's protocol. Making my own strains of super chatged fermented stuff. With severe MCAS and intolerance to any vitamin C or fermented foods this is a careful balancing act! Ivermectin for me is transformative. Not for everyone & sadly no long term safety data Desperate times

As leader of a group advocating for research & effective treatment to for severe life altering adverse effects following Covid vaccines (5 yrs on), this scares me. Research into fixing the devastating mess (real people, real families affected)should run in parallel or else hesitency will simply rise

Absolutely in some cases. There is undoubtedly an overlap in symptoms and we find those who had long covid then a vaccine had a horrible, long term reaction and vice versa. We can't have more vaccines and dread catching covid again because it's like one giant game of snakes and ladders.
