Where on Earth are you getting this nonsense? The "spikes" refer to the fact that they're a protrusion from the body of the virus; not that they're a spike that tears holes in things. That's not how things work at that scale. Here's an actual view of the "spike":

The S protein has binding sites that bind to specific cell receptors (ACE2) to enable cell entry. Has nothing to do with ripping holes in things. The end of it is actually more rounded overall, but that's just a generalized shape caused by the specifics of protein folding.

My comment did not use the word 'rip' - that is your fantasy. The spikes from COVID replication get into capillaries and smaller blood vessels and secure themselves to a cell in the wall of the blood vessel. When it's replication is exhausted, the viron 'dies' and leaves a hole in the blood vessel wall. This could be in a liver, or a bone, or an eye, ... causing any number of seeming unrelated symptoms. That's why I'm part of the control group of this experiment.
