Increase in Reactivated Viruses Following COVID-19 Booster Shots: Dr. Richard Urso

The Epoch Times Header

The reactivation of latent viruses may be the cause of long COVID and other disorders

Some viruses, after initial infection, remain latent in the body for a lifetime and may reactivate to cause infection again or a different condition. These kinds of latent viruses are being reactivated in a large number of people following their booster COVID-19 shots, causing symptoms of long COVID and other health conditions, according to Dr. Richard Urso.

Long COVID is a condition where people experience ongoing, recurring, or new health problems weeks to months after first being infected with SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, or receiving a COVID-19 injection. Symptoms may include brain fog, fatigue, chest pain, and insomnia, among others.

โ€œSo in my clinic right now, I am seeing three to five people a week because they know that I am taking a lot of time in my practice to do COVID, and theyโ€™re coming to see me with long COVID and โ€ฆ with problems after the vaccine,โ€ Urso, an ophthalmologist, a drug design and treatment specialist, and co-founder of the International Alliance of Physicians and Medical Scientists, told EpochTVโ€™s โ€œAmerican Thought Leadersโ€ program. โ€œAnd what Iโ€™m finding is a huge number of them have reactivated Epstein-Barr, herpes simplex, herpes zoster, CMV.โ€

Of the more than 100 species of herpesviruses, eight are known to infect humans and remain in the body for life after the primary infection has cleared, and which can reactivate later under certain conditions:

  • Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is a common virus that causes infectious mononucleosis and is associated with several types of cancer and multiple sclerosis. It is estimated that more than 90 percent of healthy adults have been infected at some point in their lives.
  • Varicella-zoster virus is another common virus that primarily causes chickenpox and when reactivated, causes shingles in adults.
  • Herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2 cause oral and/or genital herpes, and it is estimated that 67 percent (3.7 billion) people worldwide under the age of 50 are infected with herpes simplex virus 1, whereas 13 percent (491 million) globally have herpes simplex 2.
  • Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a common virus that infects people of all ages causing symptoms of fever, sore throat, swollen glands, and fatigue. It can also occasionally cause mononucleosis or hepatitis.
  • Human herpesvirus-6 and Human herpesvirus-7 cause roseola, a mild infection that mainly occurs in children between the ages of 6 months to 2 years.
  • Kaposiโ€™s sarcoma-associated herpesvirus infects the endothelial cells (that line lymphatic and blood vessels) which can become cancerous, a disease known as Kaposiโ€™s sarcoma.

Most people are unaware that theyโ€™ve been infected with some of these viruses as they experience no symptoms.

โ€œA lot of people are looking at this long COVID as if itโ€™s all viral related problems, specifically to the spike protein or to other issues. They donโ€™t know that weโ€™re seeing this huge reactivation in the herpesvirus family and we have treatment for it. Itโ€™s been working really really well,โ€ Urso said.

While there is still no standard clinical definition or treatment for Long COVID, Urso says that there are many different repurposed drugs doctors can prescribe off-label to treat the syndrome, such as those used in the I-RECOVER protocol, developed by The Front Line COVID-19 Critical Care Alliance.

PART 1: Dr. Richard Urso: Alarming Post-Booster Trends and the Censorship of Treatments for COVID-19

โ€œAll of a sudden when the word COVID-19, coronavirus, came up, there was no treatment for inflammation, no treatment for respiratory compromise, no treatment for blood clotting. How is that possible? Itโ€™s completely absurd.โ€

During the COVID-19 pandemic, standard protocols for finding treatments were thrown out of the window, says Dr. Richard Urso, a co-founder of the International Alliance of Physicians and Medical Scientists, which organizes Global Covid Summit events.

โ€œThere is a way to mitigate damage in every disease, whether itโ€™s COVID, whether itโ€™s cancer โ€ฆ We look for the things that have the most evidence, the most biologic plausibility, and then we go from there,โ€ says Urso.

Urso is a drug design and treatment specialist, an ophthalmologist, and former chief of orbital oncology at MD Anderson Cancer Center.

We discuss how science has been corrupted and we also take a look at many alarming trends heโ€™s seen primarily in individuals who have received their third or fourth vaccine booster shot.
