Pay no attention to the spike proteins behind the curtain ... British researchers find a potential mechanism for Covid vaccine-caused heart injury
https://alexberenson.substack.com ^ | September 7, 2021 | Alex Berenson

The preprint came out in July, from scientists and physicians at the University of Bristol, one of Britain’s top universities.

Naturally, it has received almost no attention, even after they presented it in August at the European Society of Cardiology Congress. Research that raises doubts about the safety of the Covid vaccines - even indirectly - rarely gets traction.

_____________________________________________________________________________

The preprint runs 26 pages and includes 56 footnotes. I am no expert on the structure and function of heart cells, but as far as I can tell it appears meticulously documented. And it paints a troubling picture: specialized blood vessel cells called pericytes have receptors called CD147s. The novel coronavirus itself (Sars-Cov-2) cannot attack these CD147s and damage the pericyte cells, potentially leading to clotting and heart attacks.

But free-floating spike protein - like the spike protein the vaccines make our bodies produce - can.

ORIGINAL PAPER: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.12.21.423721v2.full.pdf

The researchers didn’t specifically look at vaccine-generated spike proteins; they were looking instead at the potential for spike proteins in people infected with the virus itself to cause damage. But they were clear about the implications of their findings:

“Importantly, we show that the recombinant S protein alone elicits cellular signalling through the CD147 receptor in cardiac [cells], thereby inducing cell dysfunction and microvascular disruption in vitro.”

And the spike protein looks and functions essentially the same whether it is generated as part of the virus or through the vaccine. And a paper published in May showed that 11 of 13 people had measurable levels of spike proteins in their blood following vaccination.

Taken together, the papers provide at least a potential avenue through which the vaccines may cause myocarditis and other heart damage - spike proteins may be leaking into the blood after vaccinations and then damaging these crucial cells.

How frequently this off-target effect may be happening is unknown, but the real-world evidence shows the myocarditis link is real, as even the Centers for Disease Control now admits.

In a saner world, regulators and public health experts would make researching this potential link a top priority. Unfortunately, the fanaticism around vaccines has made honest discussion of the myocarditis link and other potential cardiac problems nearly impossible - and research into them even harder.

And so we continue to grope for answers to questions we are barely allowed to ask.

I would point out that may cases of mild heart swelling go unreported as the patient is unfamiliar with the symptoms and will often attribute those symptoms to other causes.

Also will point out that this is why I will NOT be getting any of the current vaccines. I already have enough heart issues and heart tissue does not “repair” like other tissue. It only scars over. Once you have heart damage ..,,. it aint going to be getting any better.

Don’t worry. They’ll come out with another mRNA drug that can fix it.

This is all wrong. Science does not allow for alternative hypothesis. It relies on authoritarian policy makers who can simply scoff away dissent. Old notions that it takes time to verify if a medicine is safe and effective have likewise been replaced by the modern technique of assuming what makes big pharma lots of money must be safe and effective. Plus whatever doesn’t make them money is only safe for horses and can’t work. Keep up with the science man!

I wonder how much damage there is with the natural virus. I certainly felt weakened for a few months afterwards.

It's basically the same thing. They replicated the bad part of COVID with the jabs and want everyone to get the jab. You know, just in case you already had immunity from some other coronavirus from years ago. They don't want you to miss out on the current fun.

I got the J&J in March and am VERY sorry I did.

Trying to find out if there is a way to mitigate this.

I’ve been saying for a while now that the spike protein IS the toxin - thank you for posting.

Delta Spawn, What’s that protein you have on?

Could it be a broken spike of mRNA?

And did I hear you say, you’re infecting me again today?

To send me to that mansion in the sky!

Day 1001 and Fauci’s still saying “MAYBE....”

All the folks ‘round DC say he’s crazy.

He goes around town telling people to wear 5 masks.

Looks like he’s gotta impossible task.

The study says the actual full virus cannot infect those cells—it comes only from the spike protein cleaving off and running around on its own (from the complete virus). Of course, not mentioned is the vaccine that makes our bodies rapidly produce a lot of the damaging spike proteins, only.

The best thing is to allow your natural immune system do its job.

We know this because it’s exactly what the establishment says not to do.

So is it safe to conclude that the naturally immune CoVID survivors need to take the D-Dimer test for blood clotting to determine possibility of ‘long CoVID’?

I do not endorse or recommend this. I’ve read with high D3 you need K2, zinc needs copper, and NAC needs 2-3x C. You need to research “vaccine prophylactic” or “vaccine repair protocol.”

I’d also suggest research on fasting (or FMD fasting mimicking diet) autophagy and apoptosis, and immune system repair. Apparently, after 84 hours of fasting your immune system begins to repair itself.

Also research “aspirin blood COVID”.
