Del Bigtree Interviews Dr. Vaughn
In a major interview at the Opryland Resort and Conference Center, Dr. Jordan Vaughn spoke with Del Bigtree. They talked about important topics like Long COVID and injuries from COVID-19 vaccines. This conversation happened in 2021. It is more relevant now as we deal with the long-term effects of the pandemic.
Watch full interview below:
Dr. Vaughn is the founder of the Microvascular Research Foundation. He is also the CEO of MedHelp Clinics in Birmingham, Alabama. He brought a lot of medical knowledge to the team. His insights into the medical challenges from the pandemic have been very helpful for patients and healthcare workers.
Key Insights from Dr. Vaughn
Long COVID and Abnormal Clotting
Dr. Vaughn highlighted the latest research on abnormal clotting in Long COVID patients. He emphasized the need for randomized controlled trials to further investigate this phenomenon and its potential treatments[1]. The discussion looked at how viral persistence might cause these clotting issues. This raises important questions about long-term patient care.
Microvascular Research
One of the most intriguing aspects of Dr. Vaughn’s work is his focus on small blood vessels. He believes that the next ten years of medicine will focus on studying these microvascular systems. This could greatly impact not only Long COVID but also neurodegenerative diseases and chronic heart conditions.
Treatment Approaches
Dr. Vaughn shared his experiences with various treatment protocols, including:
- Triple therapy (likely referring to anticoagulation, antiplatelet, and anti-inflammatory treatments)
- Immune modulation using low-dose naltrexone and steroids in some cases
- Strategies to sequester spike proteins in cases of suspected viral persistence
- Monitoring nuclear capsid antibodies as an indicator of viral clearance[1]
Post-Vaccination Syndrome
Dr. Vaughn found that patients with Long COVID-like symptoms after vaccination showed some differences. This was compared to those with Long COVID from an infection. He observed more prominent neuropathy and vascular issues in the post-vaccination group[1].
The Road Ahead
While the interview took place in 2021, its content remains highly relevant in 2025. The medical community continues to grapple with the long-term effects of both COVID-19 and its vaccines. Dr. Vaughn’s call for more research, especially randomized controlled trials, still echoes today.
As we move ahead, insights from experts like Dr. Vaughn will be key. They will help us create effective treatments. They will also help us understand post-COVID and post-vaccination syndromes better. He focuses on personalized care and looks beyond standard diagnostic methods. This gives hope to many patients facing these complex conditions.
This interview reminds us of the ongoing challenges from the pandemic. It also highlights the hard work of medical professionals in facing these issues. As we keep learning and adapting, talks like the one between Dr. Vaughn and Del Bigtree will be very helpful. They are important for both the medical community and the public.
