(CBS NEWS) — A 62-year-old man in Gerguyy deliberately received 217 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine in 29 months. The vaccinations were conducted outdoors from a clinical study, and after learning of the “hyper-vaccinated” man, Gerguy’s medical researchers contacted him for testing.
Investigators first uncovered the lifestyle of the man, who they said had been vaccinated “deliberately and for personal reasons,” when a prosecutor in Magdeburg, Germany, opened a fraud investigation, according to a paper published Monday in the medical journal The Lancet Infectious. Diseases. . The prosecutor showed 130 vaccines and in the end did not file a complaint against the man.
The investigators sent a proposal to the man and the prosecutor, saying they wanted to investigate the possible effect on their immune formula of such vaccines.
The man willingly gave them blood and saliva samples, and the researchers compared their antibody levels to those of a group of 29 other people who won three doses of mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, according to the study.
They were able to measure the man’s antibody levels after his 214th vaccination and found them highest that day and three days after his 215th vaccination. Their contraction kinetics (the cellular reaction to antibodies) mirrored that of the group. His 217th vaccination showed only a modest accumulation of antibodies.
They checked the levels of various motile types involved in immune system responses, and while some boosted as vaccinations ramped up, many levels were in line with those of the group.
The researchers say that despite the excessive number of doses, humans do not appear to suffer any significant side effects.
“In summary, our case report shows that hypervaccination against SARS-CoV-2 did not result in adverse events or increase the number of antibodies and spike-specific T cells without having a significant positive or negative effect on the intrinsic quality of adaptive immune responses. ” reads the examiner. While to date we have not discovered any evidence of SARS-CoV-2 infection in [humans], it will be specified whether this is causally similar to the overvaccination regimen. “
“It is vital to note that we do not support hypervaccination as a strategy for adaptive immunity,” they note.
It’s for anyone 6 months of age and older in the United States to stay up to date on COVID-19 vaccines. There are 3 types of COVID-19 vaccines available in the U. S. Two mRNA vaccines from Moderna and Pfizer and one protein subunit vaccine from Novavax — and there is no preferential advice of one over the other, according to the CDC. The CDC has a chart with data on how many doses are based on your previous vaccinations.
The CDC recently replaced its guidance on COVID-19, shortening the isolation period to five days and updating its guidance on masks and testing. The new recommendations will offer a “unified and practical technique for managing the risks” of COVID, as well as other infections such as influenza and RSV, the firm said.
