In this case the dose is the poison.
This is just a hypothetical as there is no way I could prove this currently.
I came across a fantastic article of a cell culture that showed when endothelial cells were exposed so sarscov-2, though there was no viral replication. R
Hmm, that's interesting, but it got even more fascinating.
Without replicating the virus, the s1 spike protein was able to induce endothelial inflammation via ACE2.
So essentially spike tore off the ACE2 receptor, making it soluble, which would increase AT1R activation by higher levels of ANGII.
As a backward effect it should in theory break down the glycocalyx and open up those tight junctions and you weren't even infected!
Asymptomatic Longhaulers and Vaccine Injured
This has me thinking of a possible mechanism for vaccine induced symptoms or even those who are asymptomatic who never caught covid, but were just exposed to the sars-cov2 spike and are long hauling. It's fascinating and a little bit scary.
This is one reason why I mask.
I am not afraid of death, because if I'm dead I would not be conscious of it, right?
I want to live a healthy vibrant life so avoiding spike is my motto.
