I know science is a contact sport, but...
....these guys sure seem to be overlooking similar findings reported in dozens of papers over the last 15 years.
Nevertheless, the combination of immune response and stress hormones triggering inflammation, cell death, neurofunction disruption, and BBB leakage is coming on strong. That's what the dextromethorphan, turmeric, and so on are countering.
I do get a little uneasy at the idea of a "vaccine" that, presumably, would permanently alter the brain's defence system, though.
