The spike protein binds to your cells, like the Dr. said. The specific receptor that the spike protein binds to is called ACE2, which stands for angiotensin converting enzyme 2. As the name implies it's an enzyme receptor which converts the hormonal protein angiotensin 2.
Angiotensin 2 is a hormone that regulates some body functions, which regulates other hormones, which regulates some other body functions.
When the spike protein binds to ACE2 receptors in order to infect you with the virus, it also has the effect of stopping the ACE2 receptors from breaking down angiotensin 2. Because of this, the serum level of angiotensin 2 increases in the blood, increasing vasopressin and aldosterone production. The more spike proteins are in your body, the higher the probability that the proteins are affecting ACE2 function, leading to a hormonal imbalance.
I'll let you figure out what happens when you have extreme hormonal imbalances, when you have angiotensin 2 poisoning or excess aldosterone or vasopressin.
Excellent summary. Have you read Salk Institute report?

I'm impressed you came to your conclusion prior to reading this. Also, thanks for summarizing in a readily understandable format. I've saved it and will likely plagiarize it.
Btw, thanks. Will do some more reading on this. I suck at organic chemistry.
It is also an extension of physiology too. ACE receptors and renin angiotensin aldosterone system are involved in blood pressure regulation. At least three different hypertension medications exist strictly to inhibit this RAAS system in various ways.
If this gene therapy imbalances this system to increase concentrations of associated molecules, then you can expect insane hypertensive episodes. Given how many people are clotting and stroking out, it is within the realm of possibility that it is being triggered by the damage to the vascular system caused by hypertension.

Once again comes back to fertility.
When you understand where the virus attacks you and what it's interrupting it kind of makes sense, and if this was genetically engineered, they wanted this to be quite nasty. Luckily for us they're fucking morons.
So either it escaped wuhan before it was ready for prime time -or- an intentionally less deadly variant was used to frame CCP. Seems obvious.
