The Science of the Spike Protein

At the core of both COVID-19 illness and vaccination is the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein — a novel structure unlike anything our bodies had encountered before 2020. It’s the spike protein that allows the virus to enter human cells via the ACE2 receptor, and it's also the target that modern mRNA vaccines teach our cells to briefly produce, prompting an immune response.

In most people, the body responds effectively and clears the protein fragments without lasting issues. But research increasingly shows that for some individuals, spike proteins may linger longer than expected, and in some cases, contribute to chronic inflammation, immune dysregulation, or circulatory complications. This has been observed both in post-COVID patients and, in rare cases, post-vaccination.

Recent studies have detected spike protein:
- In blood plasma weeks after vaccination (especially in cases of post-vaccine myocarditis)
- In tissue samples months after infection
- In cases involving long COVID symptoms like fatigue, clotting, and neurologic effects

While the spike protein was assumed to be inert in vaccine form, some researchers — including those from Yale and other academic centers — are now reassessing that assumption, exploring its persistence and potential pathogenic effects.

Complicating matters, official safety tracking systems such as VAERS (Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System) have recorded thousands of serious adverse events following COVID-19 vaccination. However, data classification practices may obscure the full picture:
- Deaths occurring within 14 days of injection are not formally classified as vaccine-related in some databases, due to CDC and FDA guidance that only considers individuals “fully vaccinated” 14 days after their final dose.
- This definitional gap has made it difficult to openly and transparently evaluate early-onset complications, even when temporally linked.

These factors — combined with governmental reluctance to release clinical trial data until compelled by court order — have eroded public trust and fueled calls for independent scientific review.

Scientific integrity and open inquiry must come before politics or profit. Whether from infection or injection, the spike protein deserves continued study, especially as millions report persistent symptoms. Our mission is to support that inquiry and offer biologically grounded solutions for those seeking to restore their health.

We don’t claim to have all the answers. But we believe your body deserves every advantage in healing — and your questions deserve honest, science-based attention.
