The anti-vax trick of not reading

“Young Adults Likely Produce Toxic Spike Protein for at Least One Year After COVID-19 mRNA Injection“ Well, likely does an enormous amount of heavy lifting here.

Does the paper they use actually show any toxicity? No

Does the paper they use actually show any Spike protein? No

Does the paper they use actually show any Spike-coding mRNA? No

Let´s not even mention the ”COVID-19 mRNA”, which implies that a disease state has mRNA. It has all the red flags of nonsense, and that is what it is.

This is the study in IID: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/iid3.70194

Altered Circulating Cytokine Profile Among mRNA-Vaccinated Young Adults: A Year-Long Follow-Up Study

From the title you can make out this concerns a assessment of cytokines, the soluble immune mediators with a diversity of functions.

“The study population consisted of 84 Saudi adolescents and adults who were recruited during a 5-month period starting in November 2020, after the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions but before the initiation of the COVID-19 vaccination campaign.“ This is good. The subjects were first assessed before any treatment. Importantly, “There were no specific inclusion criteria for participation, but individuals with chronic diseases were excluded from the study”, which reduces the risk of immune mediators being assessed that are not related to the treatment.

“The postvaccination recruitment phase commenced in November 2021, with an average follow-up duration of 14.1 ± 3.6 months for adolescents and 13.3 ± 3.0 months for adults. During the follow-up visit, participants underwent the routine procedures of an 8-h fasting blood sample collection and anthropometric assessments. Additionally, they were asked a series of questions concerning their COVID-19 vaccination history, including details about the types of first, second, and booster doses they received and the dates of vaccination.“

So, the assessment started late 2021, with the high circulation of Omicron, many aspects were assessed, and subjects were included after the standard 3 vaccinations.

“Participants were also queried about whether they had contracted a COVID-19 infection and, if so, the specific timeframe during the study period in which it occurred. To ensure accuracy, the provided information on vaccination dates, vaccine types, and COVID-19 infections was cross-verified with the vaccination and infection records maintained by the Ministry of Health (MOH) in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA).“

It would be important to exclude infections, such as SARS-CoV-2. This was done based on self-assessment and records. Both depend on an infection actually being noticed and reported. Especially in young adults, this may not always be the case.

“A total of 84 subjects participated in this study with the mean age of 27.2 ± 12.3 years with 36 males and 48 females.“

A relatively modest sample size, of young people, but sufficient to obtain data for analysis.

“A total of 18 serum cytokines including EGF, FGF2, IFNγ, interleukin-1 alpha (IL1α), IL1β, IL4, IL6, IL7, IL13, IL17E, IL17F, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP1), MCP3, MCSF, platelet-derived growth factor (PDGFAA), transforming growth factor alpha (TGFα), TNFα, and VEGFA were assessed using multiplex assay kits,“

This is a very general sweeping look at a bunch of soluble factors, including growth factors, interleukins and chemokines.

Let´s see what was found.

The first thing the authors noted was a significant increase in weight, hips, waist and BMI. Does this mean the vaccines make you gain weight? No. These were young adults. But, body changes do impact baselevels of many parameters, such as cytokines.

There are also differences in many soluble factors, some reduced, some increased. What is clear, these changes are very small and do not indicate an active inflammation. Inflammation causes a much more robust increase of many of these factors.
