SARS-CoV-2 spike protein alone may cause lung damage
Medical Press ^ | 27 April 2021 | Experimental Biology

Posted on 04/29/2021 5:43:53 AM PDT by zek157

Using a newly developed mouse model of acute lung injury, researchers found that exposure to the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein alone was enough to induce COVID-19-like symptoms including severe inflammation of the lungs.

SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, is covered in tiny spike proteins. These proteins bind with receptors on our cells, starting a process that allows the virus to release its genetic material into a healthy cell.

"Our findings show that the SARS-CoV2 spike protein causes lung injury even without the presence of intact virus," said Pavel Solopov, Ph.D., DVM, research assistant professor at the Frank Reidy Research Center for Bioelectrics at Old Dominion University. "This previously unknown mechanism could cause symptoms before substantial viral replication occurs."

Solopov will present the new research at the American Society for Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics annual meeting during the virtual Experimental Biology (EB) 2021 meeting, to be held April 27-30

Could someone explain to me why the Chinese used a full protein vaccination to include the nucleocapsid portion, but gave the west the Corona spike piece to use on our vaccines?

Another good link everyone considering vaccination should read and consider implications.

T cell immunity is central for the control of viral infections. To characterize T cell immunity, but also for the development of vaccines, identification of exact viral T cell epitopes is fundamental. Here we identify and characterize multiple dominant and subdominant SARS-CoV-2 HLA class I and HLA-DR peptides as potential T cell epitopes in COVID-19 convalescent and unex- posed individuals. SARS-CoV-2-specific peptides enabled detection of post-infectious T cell immunity, even in seronegative convalescent individuals. Cross-reactive SARS-CoV-2 peptides revealed pre-existing T cell responses in 81% of unexposed individuals and validated similarity with common cold coronaviruses, providing a functional basis for heterologous immunity in SARS-CoV-2 infection. Diversity of SARS-CoV-2 T cell responses was associated with mild symptoms of COVID-19, providing evidence that immunity requires recognition of multiple epitopes. Together, the proposed SARS-CoV-2 T cell epitopes enable identification of heterologous and post-infectious T cell immunity and facilitate development of diagnostic, preventive and therapeutic measures for COVID-19.

Use hand sanitizer. Don’t touch your face.

the insanity . . .
I was in the neurosurgeons office 2 days ago
I heard them complain they still had to wear the mask
I was encouraged, so, I spoke out
So, ladies, what do you do with dirty needles after giving a shot?
What do you do with dirty bloody bandages after a compress on a wound?
“I dunno, what do you mean?”
I said, you throw it in the red biohazard bag, right?
they nodded
so, if covid is so bad and deadly, why do you toss your mask in the trash can instead of a biohazard bag?
they stood there staring
oh, my...wow...
and I didnt even sleep in a motel 6 last night, and I knew that, and that means they are lying to us
“Gosh, I think you are so right...”

Looks like there's no hope.

No amount of money, no legislation, no vaccine can save the human population on the planet.

We're doomed !

They should be wearing face shields. The mask is not a biohazard because Covid is not spread through contact. You contract it through the lungs.
Nursing homes were hotbeds of Covid and all the staff wore masks. That tells you how effective the masks are.

Here is the conspiracy theory answer: The Spike Protein, that the vast majority of the “vaccines” are made of is PART TWO of the CCP Covid Bio-Weapon. Covid, reasonably harmless sucks as a bio-weapon. Combine it with a spike protein vaccine, now this is starting to look like something.
Binary Weapon - a weapon in which two nontoxic chemicals are combined to produce a deadly agent. Maybe??

80% of the population had at least limited immunity from covid to begin with. We knew from the Diamond Princess that most passengers did not get covid. Even with those sharing berths. In my own household, I got it, 4 others in close proximity did not.

Understand Muricans have limited capacity for analytics. Perhaps this is advanced Darwinism. Yes, doomed I tell ya.

The mRNA vaccunes cause your bidy to produce spike proteins. Right?

What could possibly go wrong?

Yes it will. Guess what it causes blood clots all 4 vaccines. Same results as blood clots in the longs.

Yep the Diamond Princess was a perfect environment for a deadly virus to go absolute ballistic. But that is not what happened. Once I saw the results of this cruise ship I knew covid was nothing.

Then to watch those results be swept under the rug, and everything happen, well was quite astonishing. I never would’ve dreamed that Americans would hand over their liberty so freely.

Russia and China used fully enveloped viruses for their vaccines.

The new one coming out in the US that should have EUA soon should be one that is effective against current and new strains, including the Indian one that current vaccines don’t touch. I think it is Novavax, and they also made one against malaria. If you are waiting for one, this one may be the one to wait for (after tier II/III studies are released on it).
