Why do the COVID-19 vaccines focus on the spike protein?

Dr. Kevin Brown is a consultant medical virologist working at Public Health England. His area of expertise is in vaccine-preventable viral infections and he has been a virologist for more than 30 years.

This is one of a series of explainer videos for the COVID-19 vaccination programme. The most important part of the SARS-CoV-2 virus is the spike protein. This video explains why the COVID-19 vaccines are so effective because they specifically target this protein.

The pathogenic spike protein does not remain at the inoculation site . It spreads and can be found in the blood, bone marrow, and ovaries .It can be lethal.

With respect to my brine i understand that spike protein could infeltrate the immune system and cause many deep and serious cardiovascular and autoimmune deseases

I’m here researching this as my usually healthy mum has been admitted to hospital with pleurisy after having her 2nd dose of the vaccine. Pleurisy is a common symptom of Covid so has it been caused by the spike protein?
This is an update on my mum, she is out of hospital and recovering at home. She’s taking painkillers and has been told to rest.

My step mum has also recently been into hospital as she developed very swollen glands in her neck after having her first Covid vaccination. She is recovering at home now too. My step mum’s friend died of a blood clot 3 days after having her vaccine 🥺 I am definitely not having the vaccine as it does not sound safe enough.

So why have 19+ of the vaccinated Yankees baseball team come down with COVID-19?

Wll how about now? It's time to tell the TRUTH!

so many questions. will all my body cells build spike proteins instead of just the designated ones?forever?

So I had COVID in March 2020. Got antibody test twice.. last one was today July 16 2021. My spike protein is still 97.5. 😳.. why would I need vax.. my doc told me that’s very high.. so I ask him do you recommend the vaccine for me now.. he said no.. 🤷🏽‍♀️

Now that the spike protein is produced in the cell will the bodys immune response now attack the body.

Wait, what. Really? Nothing about the new generation of vaccines that also include for instance the expression of the nucleocapsid protein (N)???

Hmmm Public Health England....sounds like propaganda to me.

What a load of BS...he says nothing of value.
