It is suspected that a German, who claimed to have obtained the vaccines for “private reasons”, sold certificates to others who did not need to be vaccinated.
A Gerguy man who voluntarily received 217 coronavirus vaccines over 29 months showed “no signs” of being infected with the virus that causes Covid-19 and suffered no vaccine-related side effects, according to an article published in the medical journal Lancet Infectious Diseases.
The 62-year-old from Magdeburg, Germany, who was described by doctors as “hyper-vaccinated,” said he received several vaccines for “private reasons,” according to researchers at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg who examined him.
According to Spiegel magazine, the man’s vaccination campaign sparked a criminal investigation against him for alleged fraud, following suspicions that he had organized a scam to sell vaccination certificates to others who did not need to be vaccinated.
Initial reports of the study, which offered little information, had sparked widespread speculation, suggesting that the man suffered from paranoid hypochondria, that he had possibly undergone needle fixation, or that he himself was a doctor who could have administered the vaccines to patients. There were also questions about whether he had paid for the vaccines out of his own pocket or whether he had obtained medical clearance to receive them.
Later reports showed that the criminal investigation was opposed to the man, whom it accused of having won so many doses so that he could retrieve the stamped and signed vaccination cards, which could then be counterfeited and resold to others who did not need to be. vaccinated and so had to face significant restrictions at the height of the pandemic.
A prosecutor in Magdeburg opened an investigation into the fraud allegations and no criminal charges were filed, the government told investigators.
Academics contacted the boy after hearing about him in a newspaper article. He agreed to her request to examine her body’s reaction to the blows.
“We then contacted him and invited him to undergo tests in Erlangen,” says Dr. Kilian Schober. “I was very interested in doing it. “
He was vaccinated for the 217th time in the study, the researchers said.
The study team said they looked at official confirmation of 134 of the vaccines, added another 8 vaccines, and added mRNA vaccines. They examined previous blood tests the man had done over several years and also looked at blood samples when he received other vaccines.
The confirmation of 130 of the vaccines, in nine months, came from the investigation of the prosecutor opposed to the man, Der Spiegel reported.
“The fact that there have been no noticeable side effects despite this normal overvaccination indicates that the drugs have a good degree of tolerability,” Schober said.
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 haven’t found any indication of a weaker immune response, quite the opposite,” said one of the study’s lead authors, Katharina Kocher.
Further tests showed that the human immune formula’s reaction to other viruses remained unchanged, which the researchers said was proof that its immune formula had been broken by having to respond to so many vaccines.
The researchers said that while additional details about the man or his motives would not be made public, he had in fact shown not unusual intelligence in demonstrating “how well vaccines are tolerated. “However, they warned the public that they are opposed to following in this man’s footsteps. The fact that the man, who has never contracted the coronavirus, tolerated vaccines so well did not mean that this would carry over to the rest of the population. population.
Professor Andreas Radbruch, an immunologist and president of the European Federation of Associations of Immunology Experts (EFIS), who was not involved in the study, said hypervaccination would not increase a person’s coverage beyond the point where their immune memory would be saturated. .
“The vaccine is absorbed through antibodies before it can cause an immune response. Beyond a safe point of antibody concentration, the immune formula is turned off and no new antibodies are produced,” he told German media. “Once a user has enough antibodies, we can’t increase their coverage with other vaccines. “
Germany’s Standing Committee on Vaccination, Stiko, reports that a person’s fundamental immunity is reached after three episodes of contact with a pathogen, such as a vaccine, and two infections, or vice versa. In Germany, other people at risk and anyone above the age of 60 are advised to get vaccinated against the coronavirus every autumn.
