Can you tell me why I shouldn't worry that vaccines which are made to flood the body with fake ACE2 proteins won't affect blood pressure, body water and sodium content? What happens to all the angiotensin II that connects to dummy ACE2 connectors?

I haven’t seen what you’re describing. I’ve seen hrsACE2 which is recombinant ACE2. That will both provide a target for the virus to latch onto as well as supplement the body’s actual ACE2 to complete the cycle which seemed to be more of the focus.

There is no such thing as a vaccine that floods the body with fake ACE2 proteins.

That's a therapy being worked on, not a vaccine.
