Persistent infections may involve stages of both silent and productive infection without rapidly killing the host.

Long-COVID’s Similarity to HIV
Persistent viruses are not cleared but remain in specific cells of infected individuals. Persistent infections may involve stages of both silent and productive infection without rapidly killing the host. Diseases caused by persistent virus infections include acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), AIDS-related complexes, chronic hepatitis, subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (chronic measles encephalitis), chronic papovavirus encephalitis (progressive […]

Omicron and Other COVID Variants / the Long Term Pandemic
COVID and Cats: A scientist friend called me last night… wanted to make sure I stocked up on enough masks and supplies for the next round featuring Omicron. We got to talking about severity of variants and what the most likely scenarios are: 1) the virus stays for a prolonged period in an unvaccinated immune […]

Omicron: What We Know About the COVID-19 Variant
We’re starting to find out more about Omicron: 1)”Previous infection used to protect against Delta but now with Omicron that doesn’t seem to be the case,” said Anne von Gottberg, microbiologist at South Africa’s National Institute for Communicable Diseases.” 2) risk of breakthrough vaccination is also much higher. Out of 600 fully vaccinated travelers from […]

Long-COVID Case Study: Vaccination Alleviation
About 4 weeks after my second dose of Moderna, I noticed my NAD+ symptoms resolved (diarrhea, headaches, fatigue, soreness, temperature regulation, night sweats, etc.) Even after stopping the Niacin treatment, all of the NAD+ downregulation appears to be “back to normal”. Finally being NAD+ symptom free, I was able to discover my IDO upregulation symptoms […]

COVID: The Natural Immunity Myth
by Daniel Brouse August 30, 2021 To date, there is zero (0) evidence that contracting the original strain of COVID gives you any immunity to re-infection — natural immunity. On the other hand, there are a multitude of examples of re-infection. Natural immunity to the original strain lasts on average from 60 days to 6 […]

COVID Vaccine Breakthrough Cases
by Daniel Brouse August 23, 2021 help@membrane.com Q: Why are there so many breakthrough cases of COVID in the vaccinated? A: There are several reasons why there are breakthrough cases with any vaccine; however, COVID is different. Many of the vaccinated people getting COVID already had COVID prior to being vaccinated. This is the second […]

COVID-19 Delta Variant and Vaccines
By Daniel Brouse What do we know about the Delta variant and vaccines? OVERVIEW The efficacy of mRna vaccines is about 79% against contracting the Delta variant. Non-mRna vaccines are between 40-60% effective against Delta. Vaccines lose efficacy at about 3%/month after six months of being fully vaccinated. Vaccines appear to help contain the Delta […]
