In this video, nutritionist Elliot Overton discusses a study that found amyloid microclots in people diagnosed with “Long COVID”. He explains how this syndrome that’s being attributed to SARS-CoV‑2 infection appears from this study to really be COVID‑19 vaccine injury.
The study is titled “Circulating Microclots Are Structurally Associated With Neutrophil Extracellular Traps and Their Amounts Are Elevated in Long COVID Patients”. It’s by Alain R. Theirry et al. and was published in the Journal of Medical Virology on October 2, 2025.
To be clear, the authors of the study do not suggest that the patients’ symptoms had been caused by vaccination.
In fact, it was funded in part by the Novo Nordisk Foundation, which owns a holding company that is the majority voting shareholder in the pharmaceutical company Novo Nordisk and has investments in vaccine companies.
(This is documented by Dr. Brian Hooker, Dr. Jeet Varia, and me in our May 2025 paper in the Journal of Biotechnology and Biomedicine, in which we show how a Danish study by Anders Hviid et al. 2019 was effectively designed to find no association between the measles, mumps, and rubella [MMR] vaccine and autism. See the section of our paper on the authors’ conflicts of interest.)
Given that funding source, you wouldn’t expect this study’s authors to draw attention to a connection between COVID‑19 vaccines and the syndrome labelled “Long COVID”.
You can imagine how scientists wouldn’t want to risk future funding by doing such a thing. Nobody wants to destroy their own career.
Consider, for instance, how Dr. Marcus Zervos, an infectious disease specialist at Henry Ford Health in Michigan, agreed to do a study comparing rates of chronic illnesses between vaccinated and unvaccinated children on the grounds it would help put to rest widespread parental concerns about vaccine safety, but then he refused to publish the study because it found that the unvaccinated children were healthier.
You’ll be told by public vaccine policy apologists that the reason the study was never published is because it was so fatally flawed, but the arguments used to support that conclusion are wholly spurious, as I detailed in my December 8 article “Scientific Data Show Unvaccinated Children Are Healthier”. All the lame excuses for the study being suppressed are designed to deflect attention from the fact that Zervos himself said he didn’t want to publish it because it could end his career.
While Theirry et al. do not say anything explicitly about it, their study does implicate COVID‑19 vaccines as a potential cause of patients’ “Long COVID” symptoms.
For context, remember that the mRNA COVID‑19 vaccines were designed to deliver messenger RNA into human cells to cause cellular production of the spike protein of SARS‑CoV‑2. The aim was to cause the immune system to mount a protective response to this protein.
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), along with the rest of the so-called “public health” establishment, lied that the mRNA would remain at the injection site and would be eliminated from the body within days.
They lied that the spike protein—which they claimed was “harmless”—would persist for no more than a couple of weeks.
Studies have shown that the mRNA is transported into tissues and organs throughout the body and can persist for months.
The spike protein by itself, in the absence of whole viable virus, can be pathogenic.
And the spike protein can also persist in the blood of vaccinated individuals for months. One study showed persistence of spike six months after vaccination.
Here are relevant past articles of mine exposing the official vaccine disinformation:

As I said, Thierry et al. don’t discuss the “Long COVID” symptoms in the context of patients having received COVID‑19 vaccines. But they do say in their paper that they collected “COVID‑19 vaccination history” from patients.
That’s the only place in the paper where COVID‑19 vaccines are mentioned.
They also confirmed prior findings about the pathogenicity of the spike protein alone, with specificity in this case to the formation of microclots.
They wrote, “We also showed that the simple presence of the spike protein S1 from SARS-CoV-2 is sufficient to induce fibrinolytic -resistant microclots.”
This was additionally an affirmation of earlier findings of an association between symptoms of “Long COVID” and persistence of spike protein.
While there’s no other mention of the vaccines in the main paper, they reported vaccination status of participants on page 13 of the supplement, which reveals that at least 45 of the 50 “Long COVID” patients had been vaccinated (with 1 having unknown vaccination status).
All 38 of the “healthy” controls were also vaccinated, and while lower in number and size, the researchers found microclots in their blood, as well.
And that’s it. Beyond reporting vaccination status and how spike protein alone was sufficient to induce microclots, the authors are silent—not a peep about the potential role of vaccination in causing or exacerbating patients’ symptoms.
Isn’t that curious?
It is difficult to believe that competent researchers working in this area had not at least conceived of vaccination as a possible contributor to the observed pathology.
You’d think they’d at least raise the possibility and call for further studies to investigate, but nope.
What this reflects is how willful blindness of potential vaccine harms is institutionalized within the scientific community. As the case of Dr. Zervos illustrates, there are perverse incentives for scientists to self-censor.
Thos who wish to draw attention to the potential role of vaccines in any negative health outcome cannot shout, “Hey, everyone, look at this giant elephant in the room!”
If they wish to keep their careers, they can only say, “Gosh, there’s a trunk here, and a tusk there. But never mind. Nothing to see! Move along.”
It’s then up to independent researchers to put the pieces together by recognizing how the trunk and tusk suggest the presence of a pachyderm.
In the meantime, you’ll be told that the dramatic increase in disabilities among the US labor force reflects the societal impact of “Long COVID”—so be sure to get vaccinated!
Now you know. Others don’t. Share the knowledge.
