A STARTLING DISCOVERY: IRON OVERLOAD AND “IRRADIATION” (OXIDATIVE) DAMAGE: THE SPIKE PROTEIN MIMICS MECHANISMS OF THE SPACE ENVIRONMENT

Is the Spike Protein a biodefense research project? A bioweapon? Or both?

Hypothetical model on how spaceflight leads to injuries in the musculoskeletal system. Exposure of tissues to the spaceflight environment, such as microgravity and radiation, leads to a decreased mass of red blood cells. This induces elevated iron stores, due to iron release from destroyed erythrocytes. Excess iron leads to an imbalance in redox homeostasis, owing to increased levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reduced levels of antioxidases. The spaceflight environment may also have direct effects on iron metabolism and redox homeostasis. The imbalance of redox status leads to the oxidative damage of cells, which in turn result in injuries in the musculoskeletal system. Other signaling processes are disrupted by the spaceflight environment, and may also cause these defects. Some exogenous iron chelators and antioxidants may block the increases in iron and the imbalance in redox status, thereby preventing oxidative damage.

This very destruction of red blood cells (RBCs) is caused by or induced by the Spike Protein, creating the EXACT SAME EFFECT.

The spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 has been reported to compete with complement factor H for heparan sulfate binding and amplify the alternative complement pathway on the cell surface. Recent data, however, suggest that BTH after the SARS-CoV-2 vaccination is not due to the direct effect of the spike protein. In this report, it was speculated that increased complement activity due to the inflammatory response after the vaccination was the cause of clinically observed hemolysis.

The Spike Protein’s “Irradiation” effects on the endothelium appear to mimic the long term endothelial dysfunction associated with space radiation.

Results from the present study address the question of possible long-lasting interactive effects of simulated weightlessness and space radiation on vascular function. To experimentally address this question, vascular responses of resistance arteries were determined 6–7 months after the cessation of a 14-day hindlimb unloading treatment, a 1 Gy 56Fe irradiation treatment, or a treatment consisting of a combination of the two. Given that the average life-span of male C57BL/6 mice is 878 ± 10 days34, the 6–7 month period represents approximately 23% of animals’ life or roughly the equivalent of 18–20 years in humans. The data show that hindlimb unloading alone had no persistent effect to significantly diminish endothelium-dependent vasodilation, while HZE irradiation alone and in combination with unloading impaired endothelium-dependent vasodilation through the NO signaling mechanism. This decrement in NO signaling appears to be mediated primarily through greater NO scavenging by reactive oxygen species, as evidenced by higher vascular protein content and activity of XO in peripheral and coronary arteries. These data indicate that the long-lasting effects of simulated weightlessness and space radiation on vascular endothelial function are the result of the radiation exposure and are not due to an interaction with weightlessness. As dysfunction of the vascular endothelium is central to the pathogenesis of vascular disease, such adverse arterial effects could lead to the development of occlusive arterial diseases, including myocardial infarction and stroke.

What makes this hypothesis especially compelling? The interference of space radiation with NO signaling (see quote above), and how NO may be an extremely important therapeutic against the Spike Protein and COVID-19  as they appear to have a parallel effect on NO signaling.

A valid and readily accessible biomarker will be very useful to assess the impact of different interventions on NO signalling, a key player in the pathogenesis of COVID-19.
