Researchers Discover How COVID-19 Damages Heart
webmd ^ | 7/26/2022 | Jay Croft

July 26, 2022 -- For the first time, researchers have learned how the COVID-19 virus can inflame the heart muscle cells and cause heart injury, a new report says.

“Heart damage is common among patients hospitalized with COVID-19, leading many to wonder how the virus affects the heart,” according to a release from the American Heart Association. “Now, researchers have found that the spike protein from the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus can lead to heart muscle injury through the inflammatory process.”

The spike protein is on the surface of the COVID -19 virus, also known as SARS-CoV-2, the heart association explains in its release. Spike proteins let the virus enter healthy cells, which is the first step in infection. The virus can spread to the lungs, of course, and to other organs in the body.

“It’s already known from the clinical side that COVID-19 infection can induce heart injury; however, what we don’t know is the mechanistic details of how this occurs. What we suspect is that the spike protein has unknown pathological roles,” said Zhiqiang Lin, Ph.D., lead author of the study and an assistant professor at the Masonic Medical Research Institute in Utica, New York.

“Our data show that the spike protein from SARS-CoV-2 causes heart muscle damage. That’s why it’s important to get vaccinated and prevent this disease.”

Lab tests showed that the spike protein enlarged heart muscle cells, as well.

“We found direct evidence that the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein is toxic to heart muscle cells,” Lin said.

The research is being presented this week at the association’s Basic Cardiovascular Sciences Scientific Sessions 2022 in Chicago.

Wasn’t there just a study done where COVID-19 does not affect the heart but just the “vaccines” do?

They are concocting their excuses for fake vax damage The criminality surrounding this nightmare is astounding.

Now, what could happen with many more times the offending spike proteins being injected and then mRNA-generated for months at a time with body—and extending to the heart?

And shed on others?

..and the jab causes the body to create the spike protein.

That’s what I thought as well as I was reading the report. Sounds like myocarditis and they’re trying to take the blame away from the vaccine side effects.

With AFIB, heart bundle blockage and 5 stents, and a left ventricle pumping at 55-60% — up from 20-25% thanks to Entresto & Jardiance plus exercise — I can’t afford to get Covid, and luckily, haven’t yet.

“Now, researchers have found that the spike protein from the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) virus can lead to heart muscle injury through the inflammatory process.”

Now imagine what happens when given a covid shot where the needle accidentally enters a vein and those happy little mRNA molecules circulate in the bloodstream and happen to take up residence in the heart; then start commanding the cells in the heart to produce spike protein.

"That’s why it’s important to get vaccinated and prevent this disease."

But you can still get it with the vaccination. How many of the study patients were vaxxed?

The world will never know...

Oh I’m sure our resident vaxx shill & trolls will be here in the nick of time to set the record straight that without the vaccines we will all die!

Can these “Researchers” get any more retarded with their PhDs in Gaslighting? The CDC Mortality Data for “Covid-related” deaths clearly states on the actual Tables that only 5% of the Covid-related Deaths had NO documented co-morbidities. The remaining 95% were medically frail with significant multiple co-morbidities, 3/4 of whom were age 65+, with Cardiovascular and Respiratory problems. So how to make us believe that it was Covid that killed Grandpa and not the treatment protocol or denial of treatment for something else that could have been treated successfully?

There is still no CDC requirement to prove actual involvement of Covid in the mortality reporting, just presumption due to a host of non-lethal “flu” symptoms or no symptoms at all but a [False Positive] PCR test.

BTW- there is still NO FDA APPROVED COVID TEST, just hundreds of ‘eua’ tests. There are no “FDA approved” inoculates being administered by Pfizer or Moderna or J&J — marketing ploy to cover Asses and reassure the Trusting Masses. Pfizer admitted that no one is getting the approved inoculate.

The WHO/CDC-Approved “Covid Treatment Protocol” has not changed during this 2.5 year long “State of Emergency.” Only the lethal Ventilator, Remsdvir and the Jabs are approved for use. Great sums of $$$$$$ are spent to keep the Doctors’ and Hospitals’ cooperation and severe penalties for those who try to deviate with something that might help you. Hence the Cull Count increases day after day, month after month, year after year, just as this Planned Scamdemic was designed to do. Doctors are speaking out in greater numbers finally and so is Birx, the Liar, who admitted the Scamming from the Get-Go.

Isn’t that the same spike protein that the vaccine forces your body to create?

Just asking for a friend.

If spike damages the heart the vax would obviously also do so as the vax drives exponentially more spike production than a natural infection.

More winning stupid prizes.

I have an idea

Let’s inject people with messenger RNA that instructs their bodies to produce….spike proteins

There.. fixed it.

There are observations made here that are amazing and correct. Excellent!!!

Probably (this *damage*) is actually caused by the $hots....they’re just reporting it as china virus caused.

Yep. Sounds like the Liars that Be are attempting to ‘get ahead’ of all of the $hot caused heart issues REAL docs are seeing.
