Quite simply the Covid Spike can invade our cell nucleus and hijack our DNA error repairing mechanism. As everyone knows, our DNA contains a double helix, the DNA gets broken in our daily life. Often a break in the double strand (DSB) is lethal to the cell unless the repairing mechanism does it's job. For example UV can cause a DSB. Fortunately organisms have evolved to deal with this.  So checkpoint mechanisms (responses that facilitate repair or damage tolerance by arresting cell cycle progression) that inspect the genome for damage and the cell then goes through a series of repair pathways such as base excision repair (BER), nucleotide excision repair (NER), and double-strand break repair (DSBR)Covid Spike messing with our cells poses a serious concern because this study shows it does inhibit the repairing process.</blockquote>
