Spike Persistence: Microclots, Reactivated Viruses, and Failed Clearance
Recent studies, including 2024-2025 work, indicate SARS-CoV-2 and its spike protein can persist for months, with links to immune changes, latent herpesvirus reactivation, and fibrin(ogen) amyloid microclots. These mechanisms may help explain features of Long COVID and some post-vaccination syndromes.
