This took a long time, but I finally have it uploaded: 17K+ different doctors/compound pharmacies/disability attorneys/alternative medicine, etc. for Long COVID, ME/CFS, and other chronic illnesses, plus about 300 treatments and more to come

@liamsLCjourney 🚨🚨🚨Do not give these people your money. If there was any real promise here investors would have piled in. There’s a reason they haven’t, and it’s the same reason you shouldn’t.🚨🚨🚨

Patient voices are at the center of this space this Long COVID Awareness Day. Don’t miss it!

[Long Covid Land - Sunday Brunch 🥂 @LCLSundayBrunch]

It’s Long Covid Awareness Day so let’s Brunch!

Sunday Brunch is a space for Long Covid patients to talk about their lived experiences with Long Covid. Please join us. 🩵

Set a reminder for my upcoming Space! https://t.co/U7TDYGi638

Here is a big post about every cell SC2 infects in the body that we know of so far.
## Comprehensive Overview of SARS-CoV-2 Receptor Locations
Why can't we just worry about the spike protein?

SC2 binds to various receptors across multiple body regions, allowing for entry into diverse cell types. Here’s an expanded list of the receptors, their associated cell types, and specific anatomical locations throughout the body, including the brain and major organs.

1. ACE2 (Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme 2)
- Cell Types:
Epithelial cells, endothelial cells
- Locations:
- Lungs:
Alveolar type II cells
- Heart:
Cardiomyocytes
- Kidneys:
Proximal tubular cells
- Intestine:
Enterocytes in the small intestine
- Blood Vessels: Endothelial cells lined in arteries and veins
- Testes:
Leydig and Sertoli cells
- Nasal Epithelium:
Ciliated epithelial cells
- Mouth and Throat:
Oral epithelial cells

2. TMPRSS2 (Transmembrane Protease, Serine 2)
- Cell Types:
Epithelial cells
- Locations:
- Lungs:
Respiratory epithelial cells
- Prostate:
Prostate glandular cells
- Intestine:
Enterocytes of the small intestine
- Pancreas:
Ductal cells

3. Dipeptidyl Peptidase 4 (DPP4)
- Cell Types:
Immune and epithelial cells
- Locations:
- Lungs:
Epithelial cells
- Pancreas:
Islet cells (β-cells)
- Kidneys:
Renal tubular epithelial cells
- Heart:
Cardiac fibroblasts
- Brain:
Neuronal cells

4. Neuropilin-1
- Cell Types:
Endothelial and neuronal cells
- Locations:
- Lungs:
Vascular endothelial cells
- Brain:
Neurons and glial cells (including astrocytes and oligodendrocytes)
- Heart:
Cardiomyocytes
- Intestine:
Intestinal epithelial cells

5. Heparan Sulfate
- Cell Types: Present on diverse cell types
- Locations:
- Lungs: Epithelial and endothelial cells
- Blood Vessels: Endothelial cells throughout the circulatory system
- Brain:
Neurons and glial cells
- Muscle:
Skeletal muscle cells
- Skin:
Dermal fibroblasts

6. Furin
- Cell Types:
Various human tissue cells
- Locations:
- Lungs:
Epithelial cells
- Brain:
Neuronal cells and glial cells
- Heart:
Cardiomyocytes
- Pancreas:
Exocrine pancreatic cells
- Intestine:
Enterocytes

7. CD147 (Basigin)
- Cell Types:
Various cell types
- Locations:
- Lungs: Epithelial cells
- Brain:
Neuronal cells
- Heart:
Myocardial cells
- Immune System:
T cells and macrophages throughout the body

8. KREMEN-1
- Cell Types: Developing tissues
- Locations:
- Embryonic tissues:
The exact roles in adult tissues are still under investigation.

These receptors and their distribution across various organs, including the lungs, heart, kidneys, intestines, brain, and skin, contribute to the wide-ranging effects of SC2 infection and its potential complications in multiple systems throughout the body. So while vaccine injury is happening, it's only to do with 1 type which is the Spike2.
Next let's look at megakaryocytes and why that is important in LC.

[Massimo @Rainmaker1973]

A major breakthrough may finally explain long COVID — and provide concrete proof that it's a real, biologically driven condition rather than just psychological or lingering effects.

In a 2025 study, researchers detected persistent fragments of SARS-CoV-2 viral proteins hidden inside extracellular vesicles (EVs) — tiny, naturally occurring packets that cells use to transport molecules through the bloodstream. Analyzing blood samples from 14 people with long COVID (collected over 12 weeks during an exercise trial), the team identified 65 unique peptides from the virus's Pp1ab (replicase polyprotein 1ab), a key enzyme the virus uses for replication. These fragments were unique to SARS-CoV-2 (no overlap with human proteins) and absent in pre-pandemic control samples.

A specific peptide ("GSLPINVIVFDGK" from non-structural protein 3/nsp3) was confirmed in 12 of the 14 patients across multiple time points using targeted mass spectrometry — offering a potential "smoking gun" biomarker. The findings suggest viral remnants (or low-level persistence) continue circulating via EVs long after acute infection, possibly fueling chronic inflammation, fatigue, brain fog, and other symptoms.

This is one of the strongest objective signals yet for long COVID, as prior diagnostics relied on symptom reports without clear lab markers. While the signal was variable (not every sample showed it) and the study is small, it opens doors to a reliable blood test and targeted therapies (e.g., anti-viral or anti-inflammatory approaches to clear these reservoirs).

@CureLongCovid @zpisces2 @PutrinoLab Is this you? Smearing a homebound LC patient as “deeply unhappy” and “lashing out”, when asked why you were selling what you have an ethical (legal?) responsibility to share for free in your official capacity as program manager of the Covid Recovery Center at @BrighamWomens?

[Unbeheld @unbeheld_]

Too many people here are wolves in sheep’s clothing. Our devastated bodies are not stepping stones to your careers, startups, or fortunes.

I’m hoping that by bringing all parties together, we can clear this up. Thank you! 4/4🧵

What’s the truth here? Can we address these screenshots?

This man appeared in this community pretending to be a patient who innocently stumbled upon how prevalent Long Covid is after posting about his illness. 1/4🧵

[Unbeheld @unbeheld_]

Was he lying then? Is he lying now? Can we address what he has said about Long Covid Labs?

Our hesitation to make a big deal of things like this years ago is why we’re now in year 7 with no tests, progress, treatments, or hope. 3/4🧵

Long COVID is not a brand.

It’s not a marketing opportunity, a speaking circuit, or a personal platform to build an audience.

Long COVID is the moment someone’s life splits in half: before COVID and after. 🧵1/5

@AlbaDocherty @acrossthemersey Elon Musk just posted the same thing and called it fraud. Guess whose post gets more airtime? The truth or the tone deaf rich kid in a man’s body playing “social media” in the giant playground he bought himself?

@keetmuise It is unacceptable for a healthy man to solicit donations from sick people, even under the guise of “helping them.”

Securing funding was step one. I cannot think of one good reason why you didn’t, which only leaves you couldn’t or didn’t know how.

Neither inspires confidence.
