Lei et al.: "SARS-CoV-2 Spike Protein Impairs Endothelial Function via Downregulation of ACE 2"; show that Spike protein 'alone' can damage vascular endothelial cells (ECs) by downregulating ACE2
Endothelial cells are layer of cells lining every blood vessel in the body; spike alone, no viral ball was destructive to the endothelial layer (glycocalyx); COVID-19 is a primarily vascular disease
ALONE, the spike does not need the rest of the virus so much so that purified spike causes devastating cardiovascular damage.
You do not need the rest of the virus and the replicating business end, just the spike and the spike alone can cause the massive vessel wall damage. We thus continue to question why would vaccine developers give your immune system an antigen target e.g. the spike protein (to induce an immune response) that is the most dangerous part of the virus?
“A lot of people think of it as a respiratory disease, but it’s really a vascular disease,” says Assistant Research Professor Uri Manor, who is co-senior author of the study. “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.” Principally blood clotting.
“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,”
The prestigious Salk Institute, founded by vaccine pioneer Jonas Salk, has authored and published a bombshell scientific article revealing that the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein is what’s actually causing vascular damage in covid patients and covid vaccine recipients, promoting the strokes, heart attacks, migraines, blood clots and other harmful reactions that have already killed thousands of Americans (source: VAERS.hhs.gov).

A large enough group of Doctors could end this nightmare in an afternoon if they united, grew a pair and came out in force. What is it going to take? How much evidence is required? How many injuries, sudden deaths are required? It is so blatantly obvious. I do not understand how so many doctors get up every day and go about knowingly doing harm. Thank you Dr. Alexander for your effort to expose the truth.
I would say it is a disease of mitochondrial disregulation. With no respiratory symptoms it can drop victims oxygen carrying capacity to life threatening levels. I have seen this happen before respiratory symptoms even have a chance to kick in. So the SPIKE does many nasty things.
