Atherosclerosis is increasingly being viewed as an inflammatory condition. Is this actually caused by chronic viral infection?

This is yet another brilliant insight in being the causal connection for yet another category of pathology leading to the deaths of many, many, human beings. This is the key insight needed to change treatment of cardiovascular diseases for the better and make them truly effective. This has not yet happened, given that the consequences of atherosclerosis, in total, are a major cause of death. What is needed is a way to counter the chronic viral infection that causes injury to the cells lining the vessels and a state of irritation and immune attack contributing to tissue damage. This initiates repair mechanisms, so there is an ongoing contest of destruction and rebuilding leading to a kind of scarring, and a debris field. This can serve to wall off the causal organisms, but still impair circulation, and becomes a problem in its own right. This is further evidence of what you are developing as a big picture view of the scope of the problem caused by the biowarfare of the interlopers they are getting away with, because of human ignorance and the blind spots in the medical community not seeing and understanding reasons for the many consequences, body-wide, of chronic viral infections as a major scourge.
