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.
Eggsactly.
What are the symptoms?
Let me guess…COVID-19 causes myocarditis, blood clots, pericarditis, and hemorrhagic strokes? (Just like the you-know-what, since we can’t say it)
the people that claim the vaccines are “safe and effective” also claim men can cut off their junk and convert to women...
And I’m betting they already have a known antidote.
True. Thanks to all posters.
The same elements of the “vaccine” and COVID cause heart problems. Getting COVID is generally worse. Bottom line is getting the “vaccine” should be voluntary and not contracting COVID should be common sense. Don’t be a fool, protect yourself as best you can. Getting COVID is nothing to be proud of and being that we don’t fully understand how this LAB ENGINEERED VIRUS behaves long term, the best thing you can do is avoid catching it period.
The virus' spike protein causes damage, so get the shot that makes your own body produce a version of the spike protein!
Imbecilic.
Prayers. My hubby, 2 years post open heart got it. Recovered then 3 days later got sick. It was 3 weeks before a real doctor could see past covid positivity. He was blocked and required additional stents.
He cam out of the stent lab laughing and smiling.
For three weeks the quacks thought his low O2 was covid. He was super sick. Luckily he has multi antigenic immunity now.
It did inspire him to complete cardiac rehab though.

Here is the title of the study that shows the virus does not increase myocarditis or pericarditis in unvaxxed patients:
The Incidence of Myocarditis and Pericarditis in Post COVID-19 Unvaccinated Patients-A Large Population-Based Study
Summary - Post COVID-19 infection was not associated with either myocarditis (aHR 1.08; 95% CI 0.45 to 2.56) or pericarditis (aHR 0.53; 95% CI 0.25 to 1.13). We did not observe an increased incidence of neither pericarditis nor myocarditis in adult patients recovering from COVID-19 infection.
I seem to recall reading this mechanism two years ago. Nice that the ‘experts’ are catching up.
God bless him.
“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”
REALLY? So it’s imperative one gets an injection that hijacks cells in ones body and reconfigures them to MANUFACTURE SPIKE PROTEINS???
Yes, but it’s VERY easy to conflate and BS this particular subject because the pathogen rarely gains access to the circulatory system in any meaningful way unless one is crazy ill from it, while you can conceivably have actual heart muscle cells coopted by the population control juice jab and your heart cells will crank those spikes out Johnny-on-the-spot for some good infarcting and carditising fun.
I can’t imagine Birx is going to make it past the midterms and potentially into the clutches of an R heavy house...
She now works for the George W. Bush Institute (not a joke). No longer with the fedgov.
Just like the MonkeyPox [actually Shingles] angle will be sold as such until so many people show up with the pox’s that it will far outweigh the possible number promiscuous gay people that could have gotten it...
Death is pretty high up there in the symptom pantheon...
