(Natural News) A new study by researchers at Salk Institute for Biological Studies shows that the distinctive
“spike” proteins of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, play a key role
in the disease itself.
Published on April 30 in Circulation Research, the also
study shows conclusively that COVID-19 is a vascular disease, demonstrating
exactly how the SARS-CoV-2 virus damages and attacks the vascular system on a
cellular level.
The study provides clear confirmation and a detailed explanation of the
mechanism through which the protein damages vascular cells. It helps explain
COVID-19’s wide variety of seemingly unconnected complications and could open
the door for new research into more effective therapies.
Scientists studying other coronaviruses have long suspected that the
spike protein contributed to damaging vascular endothelial cells, but this is
the first time the process has been documented.
In the new study, the researchers created a “pseudovirus” that was
surrounded by SARS-CoV-2 classic crown of spike proteins but did not
contain any actual virus. Exposure to this pseudovirus resulted in damage to
the lungs and arteries of an animal model – proving that the spike protein alone
was enough to cause disease. Tissue samples showed inflammation in endothelial
cells lining the pulmonary artery walls.
The researchers then replicated this process in the lab, exposing
healthy endothelial cells (which line arteries) to the spike protein. They
found that the spike protein damaged the cells by binding ACE2. This binding
disrupted ACE2’s molecular signaling to mitochondria (organelles that generate
energy for cells), causing the mitochondria to become damaged and fragmented.
Previous studies have shown a similar effect when cells were exposed to
the SARS-CoV-2 virus, but this is the first study to show that the damage
occurs when cells are exposed to the spike protein on their own.

Institute science paper reveals the covid spike protein is what’s causing
deadly blood clots… and it’s in all the covid vaccines (by design).)
“If you remove the replicating capabilities of the virus, it still has a
major damaging effect on the vascular cells, simply by virtue of its ability to
bind to this ACE2 receptor, the S protein receptor, now famous thanks to
COVID,” said Uri Manor, co-senior author of the study and an assistant research
professor.
Many people think of it as a respiratory disease, but it’s really a
vascular disease. That could explain why some people have strokes, and why some
people have issues in other parts of the body. The commonality between them is
that they all have vascular underpinnings.”
Pfizer’s and Moderna’s mRNA
COVID-19 vaccines may damage vascular cells
Interestingly, two of the COVID-19 vaccines that received emergency use
authorization from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are making “a
harmless piece” of spike protein. They are the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines
manufactured by Pfizer and Moderna.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
website, mRNA vaccines teach
our cells how to make a protein – or even just a piece of a protein – that triggers an immune response
inside our bodies. That immune response, which produces antibodies, is what
protects us from getting infected if the real virus enters our bodies.
“COVID-19 mRNA vaccines give instructions for our cells to make a
harmless piece of what is called the ‘spike protein,'” the CDC website
explained.
A piece published by LewRockwell.com pointed out the irony.
If spike proteins can cause damage in vascular cells and play a key role
in COVID-19 itself, “then why are we injecting people with vaccines that teach
their cells to make spike proteins?” asked Mike Whitney, the author of the
LewRockwell.com piece.
Spike proteins causing the
spike in number of breakthrough COVID-19 cases
A breakthrough COVID-19 case is defined as someone who has detectable
levels of SARS-CoV-2 at least 14 days after getting fully vaccinated
against the disease. As of April 26, the CDC has received 9,245 reports of
breakthrough COVID-19 cases. Some 835 of those cases required treatment at
hospitals and 132 died.
However, the CDC’s latest tally
of breakthrough COVID-19 cases only shows 1,359 cases as of May 10, including 1,139 that required hospitalizations and 223 deaths.
It’s nearly impossible to know the real figures, but the number of
so-called breakthrough cases is certainly rising. (Related: Covid-19 vaccine spike
proteins are killing people, not merely the “virus.”)
Whitney offered a plausible, albeit unproven, explanation.
“The sharp rise in cases and deaths following mass vaccination is not
related to COVID ‘the respiratory illness,’ but COVID ‘the vascular disease,'”
Whitney said.
“The vascular component is mainly the result of spike proteins produced
by cells in the lining of the blood vessels (endothelium) that are activating
platelets that cause blood clots and bleeding. The other main factor is
autoimmune reaction in which the killer lymphocytes attack one’s own body triggering
widespread inflammation (and potential organ failure.).”
In short, Whitney said, the post-injection
fatalities are caused by the spike proteins produced by the mRNA vaccines.
COVID-19 vaccine does more
hard than good
Cambodia is a perfect
example of COVID-19 vaccine doing more harm than good. The country didn’t record its first COVID-19 death until March 11 –
exactly a year since the start of the pandemic and a few weeks after it started
its vaccination program.
In a statement, the country’s Ministry of Health said a
50-year-old Cambodian man died from the respiratory virus at Phnom Penh’s Khmer
Soviet Friendship Hospital.
The deceased, diagnosed with COVID-19 on Feb. 27, was a driver in
Sihanoukville for a Chinese national who was also infected. Both cases are
linked to an outbreak known in Cambodia as the “Feb. 20 event,” for when it was
first detected.
Cambodia has 1,163 overall cases when it recorded its first death. As of
May 18, the country has 22,889 cases and 156 deaths. More than 21,000 of the
cases and all 156 deaths occurred after the country started its vaccination
program.
