From the article:

"....two new studies published in the New England Journal of Medicine shed further light on the profound toll of COVID-19 on cognitive health." And in other studies cases "with mild to moderate COVID-19 showed significant prolonged inflammation of the brain and changes that are commensurate with seven years of brain aging."

Finding covid's spike protein in someone means that they currently have or are recovering from a covid infection. Finding covid's spike protein in someone does not mean anything about their vaccination status.

So a recently vaxxed person that's never had covid would not have any trace of a spike protein?

If that's what you're saying I'd love a source. The "friend" prolly won't read it, but I'll at least peruse it and file it away for the inevitable next time he drops this claim.
