‘Superantigen’ Identified in COVID Spike Protein May Cause Heart Damage, according to the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons

Autopsies of two young boys who died of heart problems shortly after COVID-19 vaccination showed a pattern consistent with a toxic stress injury to the heart muscle, writes Steven J. Hatfill, M.D., in the summer issue of the Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons.

A detailed look at the spike protein of the SARS-CoV-2 virus and the protein coded for by the mRNA vaccine reveals the presence of a “superantigen” motif. This unique sequence is not present in other known SARS-related β-coronaviruses. But it is similar both in function and three-dimensional structure to staphylococcal enterotoxin B. SEB is a potent toxin produced by Staphylococcus aureus bacteria. Notably, SEB was manufactured on a large scale as a biological weapon during the 1960s.

It is reasonable to assume that the hyperinflammatory syndrome of COVID-19 can originate from the superantigen sequence, writes Dr. Hatfill, and that this syndrome might also occur in some vaccine recipients.
