Hey Brian. Please try to put a summary in your articles explaining the main idea of what you are claiming. i.e. an informative title was 'Liquid Cancer'' while this is not. Not everyone has the time to read a technical article where the argument is not clear from the title or the summary. You should also start to rethink who you are writing for. If it is scientists they also need a summary, if it is people with not full knowledge of the domain you are writing for then you need a summary and explanations. This is dense and I had to read it sideways a couple of times before I decide whether I need to read it. Thanks!
There is always awe when reading your posts, especially at the assumption that us readers are somehow arriving at the same conclusions at the same rate as you are… a massive and overly assuming compliment in my case. I thank you for the opportunity to wrinkle a bit more with every post.
Re: Syncytin-1
Since this protein is retro viral derived… so many questions… how did it become so influential and integral in human development? How did our bodies first encounter it? What was the virus and was it deadly? Does our body still have the ability to integrate viral proteins, or is it still?!
Considering what we know of HIV, the autoimmune and neurological effects of the Syncytin mother virus must have been pretty awful. Additionally, it also seems that the retroviridae family has incredible mechanisms via enzyme production for DNA transcription and integration, which further adds to the awe that is the immune system. It makes me wonder even more why we don’t work /with/ our immune systems instead of /against/ them with modern treatments (e.g. let’s kill everything with antibiotics, alcohol, radiation, etc.).
Reading old fact-check and debunking articles on mRNA produced SARS-coV 2 spike protein v. Syncytin-1 obviously leads one to believe “oh, the similarities are nothing”, but comparing them to non-viral protein structures doesn’t really lend the same comparison. My understanding and thinking may be way off base, but to me, a layperson, is: wouldn’t we have a more innate immune response to viral proteins? Or even the envelope of such? Rather than, say, comparing them to hemoglobin or any other human protein that wasn’t viral derived.
As usual, your posts leave me with more questions than I had before reading them. A sign of an excellent teacher.

I should be so productive when my internet is down. 😄
