How SARS-CoV-2 enters the cells

To evaluate the current situation, we can learn a lot by looking at how SARS1 and SARS2 enter human cells. Those two novelcoronaviruses enter human cells via the ACE2 receptors -- which are very important to the vascular system, the kidneys, the lungs, the gut, the brain and the reproductive organs. ACE2 is an enzyme that regulates the fluid in your body. So when those receptors are hijacked by the iconic Covid spike protein, they are unable to monitor and regulate blood pressure. This removes a barrier to adverse events such as blood clots, vascular dementia, renal disease, stroke, thrombosis and myocarditis.

Well funny thing, all of the vaccines use one method or another to also access the ACE2 receptors with messenger RNA that will then put your cells to work creating a spike protein that can then flag down your immune system. For the immunocompromised, it's a catch-22 because while their immune system might recognize the spike proteins, it can also go overboard and turn against the body it is trying to protect in what is known as the cytokine storm -- which is what happens when wild-type Covid enters the body as well.
