Made an error in #1,870 saying cytokines were cells. Explanation that cytokines are signalling chemicals in ZeroHedge below. The immune cells go into a frenzy when they encounter a cloud of cytokines.
Article discusses why children weren't affected by COVID - appears that natural immunity (a strong innate immune response) is the reason why. Strengthens the case that the primary method of fighting COVID is good health and appropriate supplement like vitamin D3 etc.
'A significant risk factor for severe COVID-19 is the inflammatory cytokine storm caused by excessive levels of cytokines in the body.
During an infection, immune cells release cytokines to help activate and coordinate other immune cells. There is always some presence of them in the body.
When the immune system fails to control the infection, and viruses replicate, immune cells dispatch more cytokines as a warning. These cytokines then activate more immune cells, causing intense inflammation, which can lead to tissue damage, organ failure, and eventually death.'

Children and pregnant women should never have been vaccinated. It was malpractice to do so. Licenses should be revoked.
I had thought that the spike protein from the vaccine wasn't released into the blood system but remained attached to the surface of the cell it infected to signal to the immune system that there was an antibody to make. Seems like I was wrong on this too.
'When COVID-19 vaccines were first authorized,
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said the spike protein produced by the body after receiving a COVID-19 vaccine is a “harmless piece of spike protein.” Furthermore, the agency stated that spike protein didn’t “
last long in the body” and breaks down within a few weeks like other proteins. The Infectious Diseases Society of America, a resource center funded partly through a
cooperative agreement with the CDC, estimated that the
spike proteins generated by COVID-19 vaccines only last up to a few weeks in the body.
An early Pfizer
biodistribution study showed that the COVID-19 spike protein gets into the blood after vaccination, where it circulates for several days before accumulating in organs and tissues, including the spleen, bone marrow, the liver, adrenal glands, and in high concentrations in the ovaries. In this study, researchers found vaccine mRNA was present from the day of vaccination and persisted in the bloodstream for weeks after vaccination.
In an
August 2023 paper published in Biomedicines,
researchers found the design of the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines allows uncontrolled biodistribution, durability, and persistent bioavailability of the spike protein inside the body after vaccination—which could potentially damage tissues and cause disease.'

Releasing the spike protein into the blood system is a bit like cleaning a non stick pan with a brillo pad - not good.
