A silent virus might be causing major diseases

https://canadahealthwatch.ca/newsletter/2025/06/a-silent-virus-might-be-causing-major-diseases

> Researchers also believe #EBV plays a role in a wide range of serious conditions — from lupus and certain cancers to rheumatoid arthritis — and may trigger some cases of chronic fatigue syndrome. Some suspect it could be a hidden driver of #longCovid.

FDA vaccine target LP.8.1, dominant since March, plateaued in April. June sees Nimbus NB.1.8.1, scion of "razor-blade throat" XDV, push LP.8.1 out of majority.

#CDC added NB.1.8.1 only in latest, late-published public dataset. Notice of "software error" that heralded data delay… has been removed. Hatching for "less reliable" data reflects "low numbers of sequences being reported".

Raj's dashboard, updated this morning, shows Nimbus diversifying in May. Also, XFJ significant, even if CDC hasn't broken out.

Nimbus NB.1.8.1 / PQ is a scion of left-field Razor-Blade-Throat XDV.

Razor-Blade-Throat XDV was a child of Winter 2024's WHO-Vaccine-Target JN.1 and left-field recombinant XDE.

XDE was a child of left-field Hyperion grandkid FL.13.4 and left-field Hippogryph scion GW.5.1.

[Some footnotes omitted, due to too many recombinants.]

Two weeks ago, Mike Honey noted that there are three recombinants that have arrived on Doppelgänger spike proteins, namely XFJ, XFM, and XFP:

https://aus.social/@mike_honey_/114611686572899925

Last week, Xu Zhu (HT D. Focosi) identified a superset of recombinants that have all arrived at a pairing of LF.7's NTD with RBD from elsewhere, namely: XFC, XFG, XFH, XFJ, XFM, XFN and XFP:

https://x.com/dfocosi/status/1931351676880879856

Above variants chart #AnnoPlot script is now updated to favor grouping by such emerging clusters preferentially over grouping by legacy ancestors.

As a reminder, recombinants happen when more than one virus strain is actively replicating in the same organism.

Here, that means two simultaneous infections, from different sources, finding a home in the same person.

When #PublicHealth is a priority, this should be a rare occurrence.

There are seven unique recombinants identified in this new cluster, alone.

Since March, LP.8.1 has been dominant. FDA designated same as vaccine target, on very week its share had plateaued.

Data collection continued to be low priority nationally—as exactly zero regions had enough data for CDC to plot.

#CDC released no new data this week, due to "software issue". This after data was delayed two weeks ago by holiday weekend.

The "razor-blade throat" XDV scion, Nimbus NB.1.8.1, near doubled its share in GISAID from two weeks prior, per Raj's dashboard, updated today.

@augieray This is a HUGE effect:

The rate of below-average performance was higher in PCC (56.2%) compared to no-C19 (20.6%) and C19 (15.8%). In divided attention and response inhibition, PCC also showed lower performance, 62.5% and 37.5%, respectively, than no-C19 and C19

Public Health officials should be required to read the rest of the abstract:

The co-occurrence of decreased cognitive functions was pronounced in PCC. The present study revealed significant long-lasting cognitive dysfunction in PCC in young adults, two years after COVID-19 infection. Verbal working memory was significantly impaired, and a lower performance was found in divided attention and response inhibition. In addition, there was an increased reaction time in most cognitive tasks, demonstrating cognitive slowing in young people with PCC.

and the discussion:

based on the results, the lower performance in PCC is related to fluctuation in attention, not a relapse of attention, resulting in increased reaction time in most cognitive tasks, which also demonstrates cognitive slowing, i.e., increased time to process information and respond to it, in young people. In the PCC group, the proportion of below-average reaction time was 68.8% in divided attention (no-C19: 47.1%, C19: 56.1), 56.2% in response inhibition (no-C19: 41.2%, C19: 35.1) and 37.5% in verbal working memory (no-C19: 8.8%, C19: 5.3%). In cognitive flexibility, PCC and C19 showed 25% and 24.6% below-average performance (no-C19: 17.6). Thus, the findings of the present study suggest, in line with our hypothesis, that long-term cognitive dysfunction exists in young adults with PCC compared to those who were not infected and who had COVID-19 infection but did not experience PCC after recovery.

Figure 2 really is suggestive for COVID-19 without PCC / LC cases too: median performance in the divided attention test absolutely plummet for people after COVID-19 without Long COVID, but they compared means which were not significant because of high-end outliers.

This paper https://www.nature.com/articles/s42255-025-01290-1 is interesting. They tested Vitamin B3 in a pill that is

designed to release nicotinamide [a form of Vitamin B3] in the lower small intestine and colon

And found:

1️⃣ Acute COVID-19 might be safely and easily reduced in severity and duration
2️⃣ In general, no improvement in Long COVID rates (here termed Post-COVID syndrome, PCS)
3️⃣ BUT, for people with recovery-like trajectories, they found superior outcomes. This takes a few quotes:

The subgroup was

participants at risk who had shown improvement in the primary endpoint or one of the three key secondary endpoints in the acute phase of the disease
In [this] subgroup, a significant benefit of nicotinamide was also observed in participants with PCS (nicotinamide: n = 48, PCS score 8.33 ± 0.84; placebo: n = 57, PCS score 11.82 ± 1.03; absolute difference: −3.49; 95% confidence interval, −6.1 to −0.86; P = 0.010

Now we all know how Long COVID isn't one single disease. Let's assume for a second that other results that suggest at least one subset has a microbiome component are correct.

As they say "life finds a way" so it would make sense that remnant gut populations could rebound over time and that this subset of LC sufferers might be more likely to have recovery trajectories. (This while we have no treatments for any subset.)

This obviously won't stop the pandemic nor its consequences, but still, here's hoping that there's no patent encumbrance on coating B3 for lower-gut delivery.

Of course here in BC we'll get access the same time we get access to Metformin. ⌛

@DenisCOVIDinfoguy they also cite https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35810238/

which has this absolute adjective of a hypothesis:

SARS-CoV-2 may bind to ACE2 in order to enter the host brainstem cell and change baroreflex sensitivity

because

The integral parts of the brain renin-angiotensin system, as ACE2 enzyme, are highly expressed in the brainstem, which may also be involved in baroreflex sensitivity, playing an important role in HRV.

which would help explain POTS!!

A FLuQE wavelet opened September, cresting as KP.3.1.1 / MC wave into November. FDA's second-guess vaccine target, KP.2, dropped out in December. Updated #CDC estimates indicate we've been in a JN.1.11 soup pretty much since then.

No new variants broken out by CDC, as KP.1.1.3 / LP descendant LP.8.1 approaches majority.

No recent GISAID data—as Raj's dashboard hasn't updated in near a month.

"57% decreased odds of 1 or more PCC symptoms and a 73% decreased odds of 2 or more PCC symptoms" - that's dramatically lower odds of a child suffering:

➡️ unable to remember
➡️ unable to focus
➡️ unable to exercise
➡️ headache
➡️ insomnia
➡️ lightheadedness, fainting
➡️ extreme fatigue
➡️ loss of vivacity, joie de vivre
➡️ personality changes
➡️ hospitalization and death

Protect your children.

Otherwise, if they survive, they will wonder why you didn't protect them, when it costs only the time to get vaccinated, and a few pennies a day N95s and HEPA filters.

Otherwise, you might find yourself mourning the potential you KNEW your child had, and desperately hoping for treatments.

Treatments may never come. Neurons don't come back. Developmental windows close.

Don't be the ghoul that condemns your children, don't strip their future because it's not cool to mask. It might not be cool to wear a bike helmet either. Concussions can't be undone, either. Don't usher your children willingly into suffering and disability.

DON'T FUCKING STACK THE ODDS AGAINST YOUR KIDS.
