The case for Takeda Pharmaceutical:

e more you can see how these changes all help the virus survive and spread, but at the same time what these gene changes do to the body to cause the disease.

In fact, their model explains almost everything that is being seen in CV19: why clotting problems happen; why Vit D is important; why high blood pressure is a risk factor but once you get sick it then drops; why the virus causes brain fog; why people are sicker in the middle of the night; why the lungs fill up with goo; why the intestinal issues happen; why the strange salt imbalances occur that cause irregular heartbeats and sudden cardiac deaths; why men are more likely than women to get sick; why young people have fewer symptoms than oldsters... and on and on and on. And it turns out that BK is intimately involved in a lot of these changes, including the massive inflammatory response that’s being seen. It’s truly a “beautiful” model.

So it turns out, if this model and hypothesis is correct, that the “cytokine storm” we’ve all been hearing about isn’t exactly the right concept of what’s occurring in these folks... it’s actually a “Bradykinin storm” instead.

The significance of this achievement isn’t just a profoundly deep understanding of why the virus causes all of the medical consequences that it does, nor is it the deserved respect for a bunch of computer scientists who turned their area of expertise and the second most powerful supercomputer on the planet to looking into something completely unrelated to their normal line of work, but nevertheless having the insight to realize the importance of their results. The real significance is that by intimately revealing the intensely complex pathways that lead to CV19 syndrome (1/2)
