Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 74

So it's time for another open post. The rules are the same as before:
1. If you plan on parroting the party line of the medical industry and its paid shills, please go away. This is a place for people to talk openly, honestly, and freely about their concerns that the party line in question is dangerously flawed and that actions being pushed by the medical industry et al. are causing injury and death. It is not a place for you to dismiss those concerns. Anyone who wants to hear the official story and the arguments in favor of it can find those on hundreds of thousands of websites.
2. If you plan on insisting that the current situation is the result of a deliberate plot by some villainous group of people or other, please go away. There are tens of thousands of websites currently rehashing various conspiracy theories about the Covid-19 outbreak and the vaccines. This is not one of them. What we're exploring is the likelihood that what's going on is the product of the same arrogance, incompetence, and corruption that the medical industry and its tame politicians have displayed so abundantly in recent decades. That possibility deserves a space of its own for discussion, and that's what we're doing here.
3. If you plan on using rent-a-troll derailing or disruption tactics, please go away. I'm quite familiar with the standard tactics used by troll farms to disrupt online forums, and am ready, willing, and able -- and in fact quite eager -- to ban people permanently for engaging in them here. Oh, and I also lurk on other Covid-19 vaccine skeptic blogs, so I'm likely to notice when the same posts are showing up on more than one venue.
4. If you don't believe in treating people with common courtesy, please go away. I have, and enforce, a strict courtesy policy on my blogs and online forums, and this is no exception. The sort of schoolyard bullying that takes place on so many other internet forums will get you deleted and banned here. Also, please don't drag in current quarrels about sex, race, religious, etc. No, I don't care if you disagree with that: my journal, my rules.
With that said, the floor is open for discussion.
Re: Some thoughts on IgG4 tolerance
It's a normal response to a perceived error/overreaction.
It is/was also reasonable to expect that the shots would induce autoimmunity, by virtue of causing a self-attack. In the purest sense, they *do* induce some level of acute autoimmunity in *everyone* who takes them, because the otherwise-healthy cells that produce spike are attacked and often killed by the immune system. This is quite likely the cause of the myocarditis and other acute inflammation.
I suspect that they do induce chronic autoimmunity in a subset of people, and that the ongoing multi-system debilitating hell that is described by many of the Real Not Rare sufferers is primarily autoimmune in origin.
The key point though is that repeated genetic vaccination creates an *unstable equilibrium* situation. The periodic self-attack on spike-producing cells - which is perceived as an error - will need to be resolved. The most satisfactory way to resolve it - to stop the attack while avoiding general autoimmunity or general immune suppression - is to learn to tolerate the spike protein when it appears. So I am not surprised to see tolerance as the most common response to repeated injection, while autoimmunity is a less common response that usually occurs after the first or second injection.

PS In my country the waiting time for ablation is still triple since they were first published in August 2021 suggesting a sustained high demand for the treatment.

"Circulating Spike Protein Detected in Post–COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine Myocarditis"
So, maybe the heart cells are producing spike and there is then an autoimmune attack mounted against them, or maybe it is a general cardiovascular inflammation from circulating spike? I'm not sure if anyone has yet isolated spike protein directly from heart cells.
Re: Some thoughts on IgG4 tolerance
"So, maybe the heart cells are producing spike and there is then an autoimmune attack mounted against them, or maybe it is a general cardiovascular inflammation from circulating spike?"
Considering the data, the second looks more likely to me. It seems that heart-troubles are still prevalent and the English data still show most of the excess mortality is due to cardiovascular and liver problems. Yet the vaccination campaign seems to be mostly over in the UK. That yields the same situation as the Netherlands where the vaccination campaign is almost over but the incidence of heartproblems stays very high. If it is an autoimmune attack that causes it, there must be very late diagnosis or a small scale auto-immune attack that continues for a long time. If it is a general inflammation from circulating spike the occurance of serious problems could happen after a longer time. That seems more likely, but I'm the first to admit that I lack the proper medical knowledge to know for sure. What do you think?
"I'm not sure if anyone has yet isolated spike protein directly from heart cells."
I don't know of any solid proof, but I think spike protein in the heart was proven to be likely in Michael Moerz publication of an autopsy of a vaxx victim (https://www.mdpi.com/2076-393X/10/10/1651). Figure 13 of the study has the following text "Heart left ventricle. Positive reaction for SARS-CoV-2 spike protein. Cross section through a capillary vessel" Of course n=1, and a capillary vessel is not an actual heart cell, but that is as close as I know of. A leaky capillary vessel could easily have spike enter a heartcell, or is this less likely than it sounds?
Re: Some thoughts on IgG4 tolerance
In some people (particularly if the needle is not aspirated and the injection is into a blood vessel) the mRNA-LNP particles will circulate in the blood, and some will probably enter cells in the heart and cause spike production there. That said, spike binds to ACE2 receptors on the cell surface, and cells in the heart have these receptors (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32227090/), so even if the spike isn't *produced* there but is circulating in the blood it could easily end up bound to the cell surface and triggering an inflammatory response.
It's sort of a gray area as to whether this might be called "autoimmunity." If we define autoimmunity as the body attacking its own healthy cells, then it fits. If we define autoimmunity as the body attacking a self-antigen, then it doesn't fit, since it's attacking a foreign antigen (spike) that is present on healthy cells. As long as the attack is spike-dependent and doesn't extend to other self-antigens, most scientists would probably not describe it as autoimmune, though of course it is still damaging and dangerous.

Anyway, thank you for your continued engagement on this forum Mark!
