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.

“…one team found that almost two years after infection, long COVID patients had not yet cleared the virus from their gut tissue. These persistent viral reservoirs appear to leak spike protein — the part of the virus that gives coronaviruses their distinctive ‘crown’ appearance — into blood circulation, potentially driving inflammation of the brain and other organs, and increasing health consequences such as heart disease.
While early efforts are underway to help clear persistent viral reservoirs, more well-designed clinical trials are desperately needed to help the millions suffering from long COVID return to normal life.”
“COVID-19 Virus Can Stay in the Body More Than a Year after Infection New research provides the strongest evidence yet of long-term viral persistence in otherwise healthy people.”
SARS-CoV-2 peptide fragments can reassemble with dsRNA into proinflammatory complexes, amplifying immune responses.
These complexes trigger cytokine secretion in various cell types, mimicking severe COVID-19 inflammation.
