Initially #SARSCoV2 was considered a respiratory virus.
New @GladstoneInst findings in both iPSC-> heart cells & autopsy indicate it's a heart virus, w/ a distinct pattern:
—myofibrillar fragmentation
—loss of nuclear DNA
—"complete dissolution of the contractile machinery"

When the Merck CEO denounces the KKK, Trump denounces the Merck CEO. That's White House Supremacy.
