New subscribers here. Contracted Covid in March 2020. Still have lingering aftereffects in October 2023. Devastating disease. Some aftereffects are neurological and some cardiological,. They are the most serious. The others, like fatigue and shortness of breath are just irritations that I've gotten used to. Being an infovore ex- academic, I collected as many articles as I could find and download on Covid from early 2020 on-most from the preprints. Hundreds of articles, but I never noticed any that linked Covid and BSE or prions. Thanks for the analysis. I notice this newsletter seems dormant. I hope you reactivate it! You were performing a valuable service and one needed now more than ever

I have an alternate view on lung physiology that dismisses the notion of oxygen and carbon dioxide gaseous exchange

The article is titled

We breathe air not oxygen

I take you though all the steps that lead to this statement

Including how oxygen is manufactured

How oxygen is calibrated

Eg medical oxygen has 67parts per million of water contamination

Why oxygen is toxic, dehydrates and damages the alveoli

Lung physiology requires the air at the alveoli to reach 100% humidity

Can you see the problem?

The new take on lung physiology:

The lungs rehydrate the passing RBCs with iso tonic saline solution as they pass through the alveoli capillary beds

RBCs change from dark contracted dehydrated to plump bright hydrated form as they soak up the iso tonic saline solution the bursting alveoli bubbles throw upon the capillary sac

The airway mucosa conditions the breathe with salt and moisture

Perhaps I spend too much time on Twitter, but I can confirm that there was indeed a certified doctor that discussed certain similarities with prion disease prior to this series of tweets and I believe that it was the article over on https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10571-023-01342-8 that started the whole thing. Thanks for clearing things up.

Thanks for the link and the context - I limit my time on that app and definitely missed how it all started! I definitely agree that there are parallels, and there is likely an interaction between CJD and COVID that deserves more investigation, just without the scare tactics!
