This past week saw a paper published in Nature that sheds light on how the virus causing COVID-19 does damage to the body, and which aligns with much empirical evidence on symptoms. (Link to a plain English summary.)
The authors at UCSF have found that the C19 spike protein, while its primary purpose is to penetrate cell walls, has a secondary effect in binding to a protein called fibrinogen, which is an essential precursor to... blood clots. There's an affinity between parts of the spike protein and sites along the amino acid chain in fibrinogen - an accidental bonding that's apparently triggering the clot formation cascade just as bodily damage will do normally. The authors provide evidence for this, as well as secondary effects on inflammation and lung and brain damage. They also perform an experiment in mice using a monoclonal antibody that ameliorates these effects. This seems to be a substantial advance by a credible team, and is likely to trigger plenty of attempts to verify and advance the work.
A natural question arises: Can COVID-19 vaccines trigger the same cascade? The paper has this to say...
...we do not believe that this mechanism is related to the rare clotting complications observed with adenovirus based COVID vaccines because the production of anti-PF4 autoantibodies and ensuing drop in platelet counts are triggered by the vector rather than spike36. In general, COVID-19 RNA vaccines lead to small amounts of spike protein accumulating locally and within draining lymph nodes where the immune response is initiated and the protein is eliminated37. Consistent with the safety of the spike mRNA vaccines, mRNA vaccines prevent post-COVID-19 thromboembolic complications38 and a cohort study in 99 million COVID-vaccinated individuals showed no safety signals for haematological conditions...
The distinction being made is between dead-virus vaccines (the first case) and those using mRNA as a means to get the body to synthesize virus spike protein without any actual virus present. The latter seems reasonable, as the binding to fibrinogen will have the effect of consuming spike protein. An active C19 infection will keep producing more, but as the mRNA is consumed during the formation of spike, there's a limited amount that can be generated. Again, I expect follow-up studies to confirm this, assuming the observed mechanism is verified by others.

As far as this content:
"A natural question arises: Can COVID-19 vaccines trigger the same cascade? The paper has this to say…"
What exactly is the adenovirus mentioned and its role inside the vaccine?
Also the exact opposite effects have been determined with regards to the COV vax results in several studies, which Dr McCullough has continued to refer to over the past 18 months.
The spike proteins continue to multiply and have in many subjects been found to not have decreased over any of the past years or months.
Also in the content's last statement " a cohort study in 99 million COVID-vaccinated individuals showed no safety signals for haematological conditions…" this could be true in part. During year one of the COV vax program it was understood that participants were in a clinical trial with up to one third of all vax recipients receiving saline material rather than spike proteins containing material. Did this powerful industry, which supposedly maintained records on who received what, select those who had not been given the real vaxxes but still had "vax recipient" as part of the record?
Also please note: Here is a science-based article of Aug 2022 referred to over at "Expose's" website:

An Italian study published two weeks ago in the International Journal of Vaccine Theory, Practice, and Research (“IJVTPR”) revealed almost everyone who had been injected had abnormalities after “Covid vaccination.” In 94% of vaccinees’ blood, there was an aggregation of red blood cells and the presence of particles of various shapes and sizes.
The study began in March 2021. Using dark-field microscopy, the researchers analysed blood samples from 1,006 referred to the Giovannini Biodiagnostic Centre for various disorders after being injected with Pfizer/BioNTech or Moderna mRNA “vaccines.”
The study authors noted that the “vaccines” are purported to contain at least the spike protein from SARS-CoV-2, but are known also to contain foreign particles that the many promoters of the experimental injections claimed were not in them at all. “Among those foreign components are metallic objects as demonstrated previously in this journal by Lee et al. (2022) which are confirmed in our results.”
Full article at link above.
The above is just one of many well done papers regarding the propensity of COV vaccine recipients to suffer from blood abnormalities as well as to suffer troublesome clotting problems that cannot be alleviated by taking the usual Rx meds. Additionally Dr McCullough now believes that some 50% of all who received the actual mRNA vaxxes for COVID will go on to have some type of heart problems.
Given that the COVID infection itself would have posed much less likely a risk than any healthy individual under 30 would face from being struck by lightning and killed, we have put an entire generation of young people at risk, due to the massive control the Satanic pharmaceutical forces hold over our "health agencies" and our "devoted elected servants." On top of all the risk, there was never any efficacy to the vaccine as it was a totally worthless product.
My new senior-aged women's group is almost all Dem women. They all got vaxxed and this spring all of them have had COVID, or tested positive for it. For many this was their 2nd or 3rd round of being COV-infected.
Two women out of 45 stood up in April to announce they have young female relatives who had symptoms of something or other for several weeks. The young women soon found out they had turbo cancers. The women asked for us to pray for their loved ones. The one granddaughter, aged 18, was dead of bone cancer just 3 weeks later. Her last weeks were spent in agony.
Sure this is "anecdotal." But given the huge numbers of young people now incapacitated by either myo, blood clots or turbo cancers, it is part of a data set that continues to grow larger with each passing minute.

A summary generated by Grok:
(Note my characterization as 'dead virus' isn't quite right. It's a virus that has been crippled so it won't replicate in vivo, but it does trigger protein synthesis.)

I have yet to see a credible study showing that vaccine induced spike proteins can multiply using the human cellular machinery after the consumption of the initial vaccine mRNA / virus vector, and propose and test a mechanism for this.
It may well be that a vaccine failed to prevent/suppress a C19 infection, which is a well known outcome, in which case there may be a continuing viral load and hence spike protein being generated, but that's another thing.
If you have a source to the contrary, please provide.
Ultimately I think any argument about the COVID vaccine boils down to the fact that it doesn't actually seem to do very much to protect you from contracting COVID.
There is no way any risks associated with the vaccine are worth it considering it doesn't seem to protect you from contracting covid at all.

Pretty much. Unless you're in a vulnerable population (elderly, with co-morbidities) it seems like a poor risk/reward tradeoff. There is some evidence that the vaccines may reduce the severity of cases in that population, though it doesn't prevent them. Beyond that, unless and until there's a true, full scale randomized clinical trial, with published data, that shows a benefit, I'd stay away.
There's too much anecdotal evidence for risk and against effectiveness leaking through the censorship to take it on trust, and the censorship itself has to be taken as prima facie evidence of something that won't stand the light of day. One of the reasons I'm still following this is to see just what.
ETA: I was probably always a silly idea that we'd be able to come up with a highly effective vaccine against a fast mutating, airborne RNA virus. 'New strain' is their middle name, and the average time to another one is a lot less than the development and evaluation time for a new vaccine. There's a reason no one has tried to do a vaccine for the common cold...
