Antinuclear Antibodies in Post-Acute Sequelae after COVID-19
Among an array of tests I obtain in patients with post-acute sequelae after SARS-CoV-2 infection or COVID-19 vaccine is the antinuclear antibody
First described in 1948, ANA identification has been the foundation of diagnosis for autoimmune connective tissue disease, including systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), Sjogren’s syndrome, and polymyositis/dermatomyositis.
Before the pandemic, I have found most ANA positive syndromes responsive to chronic hydroxychloroquine therapy among other agents.
It is interesting that HCQ became one of several choices in the standard of care for the early ambulatory management of high-risk COVID-19 as established by the McCullough Protocol.
Son et al, evaluated severe COVID-19 cases, many of whom were hospitalized early in the pandemic and found that research grade ANA assays were positive in a large fraction with persistent respiratory and chest symptoms such as fatigue, cough, and dyspnea.
Their findings suggest SARS-CoV-2 infection itself induces auto-immunity, particularly with severe infections.
While there are no randomized trials of HCQ in long-COVID, it has been my observation that ANA positive patients improve on HCQ when they are suffering from post-acute sequalae after SARS-CoV-2 infection and/or COVID-19 vaccination.
So don’t be surprised if you see patients taking HCQ on a longer-term basis as they recover through the pandemic.
These data suggest Biden’s Office of Long COVID Research and Practice should focus on the generic drugs we were finding useful for acute treatment including HCQ, IVM, colchicine, etc.
Instead the disastrous research program has spent $1B and produced no new therapies or protocols for patients suffering in the community.

@ “ … after SARS-CoV-2 infection …”
Reading such a view, especially from “experts,” makes me wonder (in fact, laugh) why such a baseless claim. It has been convincingly clear that there is no evidence of the virus’s existence; obviously, there cannot be its infection.
Is it an attempt to salvage their “authority”? If it is so, then there is no chance. The whole charade of virus/virology is ready to collapse. Sorry, no escape.

These monsters have thousands of years of bobbing & weaving around discovery & pushback. They multi-front wars are a good excuse to let loose their long awaited Nuclear Holocaust…while utilizing the space based Esoteric Weapons Platforms…long held in obeyance…a few exceptions in Firepower Demonstrations. The time function in one of them will help clean up the mess others make of our planet spanning civilization.
A hint of it’s power occurred during 9/11 with the disintegration of all things iron at that site…to keep one of the towers from falling in our of it’s footprint. The side effects are also quite stunning.
Dr Judy Woods couned the term ” Dustification” to describe the phenomenon.
We will really need an Excessive.

Sigh…
Blasted AI interference with results of typing and editing. I watched letters & words change as I submitted the above cmts.
Dr Woods coined the term Dustification.
These weapons can be tuned to any frequency to disrupt a target.
Keep a tower from falling Out of it’s footprint.
Their multi-front wars…and silent wars.
…also multi-front.
The need for an Excession.
But dealing with and cleaning up the overwhelming problem falls only into our laps…

What did Jesus say?
“Father, Please take this from my plate?”
The overwhelming responsibility for the preservation of civilization on our world lies in the balance…it absolutely appears that Species eradication and poisonous Terraforming are the Globalists end goal.
To be replaced by what?
The Archons?
The dJinn of ancient myth?

Ask and you shall receive.
“”In the Garden of Gethsemane, just before Jesus was arrested. In the garden Jesus prayed to his Father three times, saying, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will”—the KJV says, “Let this cup pass from me” (Matthew 26:39). A little later, Jesus prays, “My Father, if it is not possible for this cup to be taken away unless I drink it, may your will be done” (Matthew 26:42).””
And so it is with We All.
Many will Suffer and Perish, upon initiation of counter measures. But, in the end that these Monsters have prepared is utter destruction of humanity. Their Transhuman Paradise is a dead end. In that end…”they will wish to die…but cannot.”. As they’ll have transcribed themselves permanently into the very substrate of the cosmos…but they’ll suffer from lack of input, when Entropy erodes all those sources of input.
They’ll go insane.
It’s already occurred.
