It hijacks the cell's factories to make these new virus copies, and makes the cell sick by stopping the production of the proteins required to keep a cell functioning properly. Once the virus attaches to a cell's docking station, it injects a self-replicating 40,000 letter genetic message into the cell which is an instruction manual on how to make multiple copies of itself. These cellular docking stations are found in the lungs, brain, heart, gut, blood vessels, ovaries, uterus, testes, and elsewhere.

The Covid-19 virus will attach to billions of cells all over the body, wherever cells have docking stations that are the perfect fit for the spikes on the virus surface.

Like all viruses, Covid-19 is a message on how it makes copies of itself, made up of letters from the genetic alphabet, wrapped in a protein skin covered in spikes. Getting immunised by the virus is the hard way to do it. Photo: SuppliedThe Delta variant of Covid-19 is so infectious that herd immunity, where a largely vaccinated population will protect the minority of unvaccinated people, does not work until about 98 per cent of the population is vaccinated.ĭelta doesn't listen to the 'my body my choice' mantra of the unvaccinated and ironically, only those who choose the vaccine will have any choice of how and when they will get immunised.
