Abstract
We have identified the amino acid sequences that are almost identical between the COVID 19 amino acid sequence and the Platelet Factor 4 amino acid sequence by using proprietary modifications of the NIH Blast amino acid comparison algorithm. Using molecular mimicry one can then deduce which of the many possible epitopes on the surface of the Spike protein is the true epitope which actually induces the antibody response to the COVID 19 virus and, thereby, cross reacting with the platelets. Molecular mimicry with vaccines is a known phenomenon. However, it has never been used before to identify the actual binding sequence induced by a vaccine.
