There are some crazy people that have been telling us for years that COVID spike proteins are very bad and can cause long term effects

100% false. Spike protein is the part of a coronavirus that allows it to enter a cell and reproduce. They are benign when not attached to a virus.

This is completely false. The spike protein is toxic and exists in quantities that are many fold higher, free form, produced through the mrna shots. I'm not sure why at this point in the game you're making such a statement. We're way past that. This might be an argument for March 2020.

Do you also have a link that says that the spike alone cannot hurt you?
Researchers from the University of Bristol have found that, in cells in a dish in the lab, the spike protein binds to cells called pericytes which line the small vessels of the heart. This binding triggers a cascade of changes which disrupt normal cell function, and can lead to the release of chemicals that cause inflammation. This happened even when the protein was no longer attached to the virus.

You said that the spike protein is harmless when not attached to the virus.....I provided a quote that says that's not true.

Why do some people get myocarditis after the vaccine?
The most compelling difference in adolescents who developed post-vaccine myocarditis compared with the asymptomatic cohort was the presence of a surprisingly high level of full-length unbound spike protein that remained detectable for up to 3 weeks after vaccination and somehow eluded antibody recognition despite the lack of significant differences between the two groups in antibody production and neutralization capacity. It remains unclear if spike protein has a direct role in the pathogenesis of myocarditis; furthermore, it was detected in the majority of but not all patients with myocarditis. As myocarditis has also been observed in response to other vaccines, such as vaccines against influenza and smallpox, and non-mRNA vaccines against COVID-19, the circulating spike protein could be a biomarker of immune dysregulation leading to myocarditis, rather than a causal agent of this. On the other hand, in vitro evidence suggests that spike protein could impair pericyte and endothelial cell function via ACE2 and thus contribute to myocarditis.

Absolute false, hot garbage as usual. A spike protein can't hurt you without an accompanying virus, and a coronavirus can't hurt you without spike protein attached. Hence why the vaccines teach your body to attack and do away with spike protein, it renders the virus harmless.

It could be that
Results:
Extensive antibody profiling and T-cell responses in the individuals who developed postvaccine myocarditis were essentially indistinguishable from those of vaccinated control subjects, despite a modest increase in cytokine production. A notable finding was that markedly elevated levels of full-length spike protein (33.9±22.4 pg/mL), unbound by antibodies, were detected in the plasma of individuals with postvaccine myocarditis, whereas no free spike was detected in asymptomatic vaccinated control subjects.
Conclusions:
Immunoprofiling of vaccinated adolescents and young adults revealed that the mRNA vaccine–induced immune responses did not differ between individuals who developed myocarditis and individuals who did not. However, free spike antigen was detected in the blood of adolescents and young adults who developed post-mRNA vaccine myocarditis, advancing insight into its potential underlying cause.
