Scientists reported on the case of a “hyper-vaccinated” man who allegedly received 217 Covid-19 vaccines.
The German won dozens of vaccines “for personal reasons” over a 29-month period, according to an article published in the journal Lancet Infectious Diseases.
The 62-year-old man, from Magdeburg, Germany, showed “no signs” of infection with the virus that causes Covid-19 and had reported side effects similar to those from the vaccine, researchers at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg said.
Academics heard about this man in a newspaper article and asked if they could examine his body’s reaction to the injections.
“We heard about his case in newspaper articles,” said Dr. Kilian Schober.
“Then we got in touch with him and invited him to get tested in Erlangen. I was very interested in doing it.
There is official confirmation of 134 of those vaccines, adding another 8 vaccines, the team said.
“The fact that no noticeable side effects have occurred despite this normal overvaccination indicates that the drugs have a good degree of tolerability,” Dr. Schober added.
The researchers looked at previous blood tests performed on the man and also looked at blood samples as he received the vaccines.
Dr. Schober continues, “The individual has undergone blood tests over the past several years and has given us permission to compare the effects of those tests.
“In some cases, the samples were frozen and we were able to investigate them ourselves. We were also able to take blood samples ourselves when the man won a new vaccine in the study, at his own insistence.
“We were able to use those samples to determine precisely how the immune formula responds to vaccination. “
The researchers found that their immune formula is fully functional.
Some immune cells and antibodies to the virus that causes Covid-19 (Sars-CoV-2) were produced at particularly higher levels than in other people who had received only three vaccines, the team reported.
“Overall, we found no evidence of a weaker immune response, quite the opposite,” said Katharina Kocher, one of the study’s lead authors.
In the UK, citizens will have received a maximum of seven vaccinations as part of the initial vaccination programme and subsequent boosters. Many working-age adults who are in physical condition situations will have received three shots: two as part of the initial program and one booster.
