COVID Spike Proteins Help Cancer Cells Survive, Resist Chemotherapy

[Epoch Times] Spike protein from SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, potentially promotes cancer by interfering with anti-cancer activities, according to a recent peer-reviewed study from Brown University. The article was first published as a preprint on April 15; the peer-reviewed version was published on May 3.

The study authors, led by Dr. Wafik El-Deiry, director of the Cancer Center at Brown University, exposed cancer cells to spike protein subunits. They found that the spike subunits may promote cancer survival and growth by blocking a cancer suppressor gene known as p53.

Dr. El-Deiry’s study was designed to test whether the SARS-CoV-2 virus or its viral subunits could promote cancer activities.

However, the study further implied that SARS-CoV-2 therapeutics like the COVID-19 mRNA and protein vaccines may yield similar effects.

"Our goal was to study spike protein regardless of its origin," Dr. El-Deiry told The Epoch Times. "We focused on spike that may come from infection or any other way it can be expressed in human cells... this would also apply to vaccine-made spike."

Dr. El-Deiry was careful to highlight the many limitations of his study, including that it was a simple cell culture study. Additionally, with differing spike variations in the different viral strains and vaccines, the health consequences they may have require more research.
But of course!

#1 Grant hunting by trying to hitch to the currently top issue - in the 90es, you didn't see a paper on immunology that didn't mention a "possible connection" to HIV.

#2 ... And no research paper by MDs is reliable anyway.

#3 OTOH - it does explain turbo-cancer. My wife's cancer was under control until she had two Covid shots. Then her tumor markers skyrocketed within a couple of months.

#4 I’m so sorry to hear that, Mercutio. I hope her doctors were able to get it under control.

#5 No, TW, she died last May...

#6 Condolences, Mercutio

#7 Condolences, Sorry Mercutio.

Friend of mine lost a peer about 6 months ago from rapid cancer, though I don't know his background. Mid 40s. Very strange.

And I've mentioned one of my peers who dies of sudden heart failure, required to get all the jabs for his job, late 30s.

Some curiosity is warranted.

#8 I can imagine how wonderful Mrs. Mercutio was, my dear, just from knowing you. May your memories bring you comfort, and may her spirit rest in your heart always.

#9 I never had the pleasure of meeting her, but I know she was keen judge of men. From your posts you see.

#10 Very sorry to hear that Mercutio. I regret getting the damn jabs for my work and that my wife did as well, but I absolutely refused to let the kids get them. I hope 1000 plagues of doom infect Fauci.
