The COVID Spike Protein Is Playing Hide and Seek in Your Brain (And Winning)

Heliox: Where Evidence Meets Empathy

Send us a text

Today on Heliox, where evidence meets empathy, we explore fascinating new research about COVID-19's long-term effects on the brain. Our hosts dive into groundbreaking studies showing how the virus's spike protein can persist in brain tissue long after infection, potentially contributing to neurological symptoms. They discuss exciting findings about vaccine protection, emerging treatment possibilities, and the remarkable way scientists are piecing together this complex puzzle. Through thoughtful discussion, they balance concerning discoveries with hopeful developments, offering listeners a clear understanding of the latest science while maintaining a spirit of optimism about ongoing research efforts.
