Original Message The "spike Proteins" in mRNA vaccines leave the body in approximately 2 weeks - Yes, other proteins in the body exist too. You have to be very careful about the anti-vax community stating "It COULD cause problems". The point is there is zero proof and every reputable researcher and scientist strongly agree that the benefits far outweigh the risks. When you are sitting on a hospital bed, gasping for air, you can rethink your stance on whether you think "spike proteins" are going to harm you. Spike proteins are created with ALL vaccines... ALL - It's not just mRNA, but you're so busy salivating over buzz words, that you don't see a gift horse right in front of your face. All current vaccines that are authorized for general use and for which clinical efficacy data have been published rely on the viral spike protein (S) as an immunogen, either alone or—in the case of inactivated virus vaccines—together with other viral proteins present in the viral particle (see sections below). Because of its essential functions during viral entry (receptor binding and membrane fusion), the S protein is the major target of antibodies that can potently neutralize the virus. Increasing evidence indicates that neutralizing antibodies are indeed a reliable correlate of protection5,6,7,8,9. The potency of these antibodies depends on high-affinity interactions with specific parts of the complex three-dimensional structure of the spike in a native conformation10,11. Efficient formation of such antibodies by B cells requires helper functions of CD4 T cells that are specifically stimulated by peptides derived from the same antigen in complex with MHCII molecules. Other components of cellular immunity, such as CD8 T cells, also contribute to immune responses after SARS-CoV-2 infection or vaccination, although their role in COVID-19 infections and protection from disease is still incompletely resolved |
