    “Spike protein” had become a “spiked protein” as if someone added rohypnol to their favourite protein drink.

    They do not have the education to “do the research” to understand that the protein makes a literal spike on the virus shell. This spike connects with a receptor on a human cell and that therefore allows the virus to enter the cell to start replicating.
