The COVID Advisor

The first of the 2024 emergency declarations on avian influenza appeared on the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS) website on July 18, 2024 . 1   There was no news release, nothing was posted on social media and no news outlet picked up the story. It was a stunning silence for such a significant development in public health policy. HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra had determined that the avian influenza A (H7N9) virus posed a "significant potential for a public health emergency" that could "affect national security or the health and security of United States citizens living abroad." The declaration allowed for the emergency use authorization of diagnostic tests 2  for detecting H7N9 in humans. Other than the radio silence, the other thing that was odd about the July 18, 2024 post was that, instead of creating a new emergency, it resurrected a 2013 declaration for the last known human H7N9 outbreak 3  that took place in China, where intermittent hum

The spike protein is naturally found in SARS-CoV-2, no matter the variant. In its native form in SARS-CoV-2, the spike protein is responsible for the pathologies of the viral infection. In its wild form it’s known to open the blood-brain barrier, cause cell damage (cytotoxicity) and, as Dr. Robert Malone, the inventor of the mRNA and DNA vaccine core platform technology , said in a commentary on News Voice , “is active in manipulating the biology of the cells that coat the inside of your blood vessels — vascular endothelial cells, in part through its interaction with ACE2, which controls contraction in the blood vessels, blood pressure and other things.” It’s also been revealed that the spike protein on its own is enough to cause inflammation and damage to the vascular system, even independent of a virus.

Do you feel like your thinking is fuzzy or scattered? Perhaps you feel you’re in a cloud or daze. If so, you may be dealing with brain fog. While it is hard to define medically, brain fog is a relatable experience for many people. In general, brain fog refers to problems associated with concentration, attention or focus, and memory. These problems can last for weeks, months, and sometimes years. Brain fog is associated with many conditions, from autoimmune disorders to viral infections. The condition has been a topic of particular interest recently due to its being a long-COVID symptom. Long COVID is diagnosed when COVID-19 symptoms persist beyond four weeks of the initial infection. While brain fog can be frustrating, the good news is that researchers are beginning to understand the underlying factors that contribute to and exacerbate the condition, leading the way to possible treatment options. Since brain fog does not have a formal definition in the medical community and there are n
