I know we know here. Hadn’t heard about this study, though.

Led by Dr. Wafik El-Deiry, director of the Cancer Center at Brown University, the study found that spike protein subunits might inhibit the p53 gene, thereby potentially enhancing the survival and proliferation of cancer cells. This interference could also reduce the efficacy of chemotherapy treatments, as demonstrated in the study where cancer cells exposed to the spike subunits showed greater viability post-chemotherapy.

The implications of this study extend beyond natural infection to potentially include SARS-CoV-2 therapeutics and COVID-19 vaccines, as these too utilize the spike protein.
