Then does that mean that the spike protein RNA is itself capable of causing adverse reactions? The J&J vaccine is associated with an increased risk of TTS. If that vaccine "literally only contains code for the spike protein" then what else could cause it?
(the rest of your comment is spot-on, I just don't get what's going on with this specific part)
- titzer 5y agoThe spike protein cannot self-replicate because it is not complete enough, so it can't create a runaway infection. There is only so much mRNA coding for so many copies of that protein, and that mRNA is quickly broken down. I am not a molecular biologist, but I believe the spike protein is not complete enough to actually even penetrate cells, so I don't think it can even cause any kind of cell damage.
- fouric 5y agoRight, I'm not saying (nor do I believe) that the spike-protein can self-replicate - but that's not the way that an alien substance can damage the body. Again, it's all fine and dandy to say what cannot happen, but you still haven't explained what could then be causing the blood clots.
