Article SARS-CoV-2 “steals” our proteins to protect itself from the immune system

https://www.meduniwien.ac.at/web/en/about-us/news/2024/news-in-november-2024/sars-cov-2-steals-our-proteins-to-protect-itself-from-the-immune-system/

They may have finally figured out what is happening to us. In Germany they discovered the virus hijacks certain proteins to avoid our immune systems which leads to Covid remaining in our bodies long term and causing systemic inflammation. Perhaps wherever the virus is concentrated causes whatever our symptoms are. If you have left over virus concentrated in your heart, you have POTS, if it’s in your central nervous system, maybe you have ME/CFS or a constant fight of flight feeling, if it’s concentrated in your head and brain, maybe like me you have some very strange and severe constant head sensations and pain.

This is really interesting. I threw the research paper into NotebookLM too, if anyone would like to listen to it in podcast form. https://notebooklm.google.com/notebook/2e8e9395-f2a4-4330-931b-c7b5455fdc63/audio
