Pay no attention to the spike proteins behind the curtain ... British researchers find a potential mechanism for Covid vaccine-caused heart injury

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.

Okay, that was awesome.

You write and think like roadkill. You've got nothing of value, and you lie right in the middle of the road so the rest of us just drive right over you.

Ahahahahahaha!

Dead Pelham in the middle of the road
and its stinkin' to high heaven.

Thank you, ransomnote, for your clear explanation. I just knew if this carp attacks the fatty ovaries it was going to go for the fatty liver. And spleen? I am certain you remember the healthy FL doctor who got the clot shot only to have his spleen destroy all his blood cells, and he died.

I looked at that blogger link, too, *rolleyes* at that one as a “source”. In fact the “source” is so thin it looks like a website setup to harvest the IP addresses of dissenters....

Also from your quote: “... with the greatest levels in PLASMA observed at 1 - 4 hours post dose...” How can it be observed in plasma if it isn’t in the blood? How does it arrive at liver, ovary, adrenal, heart if not through the bloodstream? They have even found it in bone marrow in the 1 autopsy death after vaccine. 13,000 vaccine deaths before 1 autopsy.

In this excerpt, the author does a great job of gently pointing out those who asserted the 'vaccine' would remain at the injection site were being 'imaginative', and wrong.

Is it possible to avoid heart damage from the COVID vaccine? Or do all COVID-vaccinated people have some myocarditis? - by ColleenHuberNMD - The Defeat Of COVID (substack.com)

Excerpt:
"For unknown reasons, mRNA vaccine researchers had expected spike proteins to remain entirely in the deltoid muscle at the vaccination site of the vaccinated person, as reported in the media, [12] and it was apparently imagined that these spike proteins could somehow evade release into the general circulation. 

However, it has recently been determined that the delivery of spike proteins and / or their generating mechanisms, as with all known injected substances, do indeed diffuse and travel in an organism, away from the site of injection, in accordance with well-established principles of circulation, throughout the body, including to internal organs.  

Organs that have been affected by this body-wide distribution have included the heart, brain, spleen and liver, with especially high concentrations found in the ovaries and the plasma. [13] "
