I'm not doing mass analysis. That's why I divided by the molar mass of the mRNA strand. I'm comparing the number of virions to the number of mRNA strands. I already corrected for what you mentioned.

If you think long covid is caused by the immune reaction, this is all moot, as I said in the original post. It's very possible longcovid is autoimmune, but it's possible it's not.
- s1artibartfast 5y agoI saw mrna strand vs spikes, so this at least leaves out transcription cycles. I point this out now not to be argumentative, but simply because I'm curious. My understanding was that it was not one to one. Also for the sake of curiosity, what are the non immunogenic theories? Some sort of persistent damage from the spike count?
- sudosysgen 5y agoYes, I also took into account transcription cycles - it would take 1000+ transcriptions per mRNA strand to break even. But yes, persistent damage from spikes is a non immunogenic theory. There are also theories of persistent infection and viral damage to various organs, as well as exhaustion of the immune system, etc..., and of course it could be a sum of any.
