This is a legitimate question, so I don't know why it's being downvoted. Especially given the statement in the abstract of the paper that says, "We show here that S protein alone can damage vascular endothelial cells (ECs) in vitro and in vivo...."
That being said, other people on this thread have provided reasonable mechanistic explanations as to why the vaccines would not have this effect, but I will also add we have _empirical_ evidence that the vaccine does not impair endothelial function (or at least it is extremely rare) because we have millions of people who have received the vaccine without impaired endothelial function.
- dcow 5y agoMy partner developed inflammation (resembling gottron papules) on her knuckles a few weeks after receiving the first moderna dose. She now (few days later) has developed a shoulder rash where the vaccine was injected. It’s very curious.
- lc9er 5y agoMy spouse, who suffers from an autoimmune disorder, suffered similar symptoms. Severe enough that she won’t be able to get the second dose. My understanding (from her doc) is that this is a known, but uncommon side effect for people with autoimmune conditions.
- treeman79 5y agoDoes get the uncommon side effects of medication much? Have an autoimmune, and I get most of the rare side effects of medications.
- lc9er 5y agoConstantly. Her list of banned medications is huge. Each time she’s prescribed a medication, she has to decide if the “rare side effects” are worth risking or are worse than going untreated.
- podgaj 5y agoJust sayin’ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5793296/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5793296/ The data presented in our work, although very heterogeneous in the manner of collecting and investigating samples, have proved to be extremely consistent in witnessing a deficiency of zinc in serum and plasma of patients compared to controls.
- sebmellen 5y agoQuite strange. I've had almost the exact same skin-level reactions, only I received the BioNTech/Pfizer vaccine.
- sroussey 5y agoI had a red area after the second shot on my shoulder, and so did my family members including cousins in other states.
- IAmGraydon 5y agoSomeone I work with (female, 25 years old) had inflammation on her knuckles that is similar to what you describe. This was after her second shot - not sure if it was Moderna or Pfizer, but it was MRNA. She's fine and it eventually went away, but it's certainly interesting. She doesn't have any autoimmune disorders that she knows of.
- Gibbon1 5y agoThe vaccine appeared to piss off the RSI in my right arm for about two weeks. I would have gotten the shot in my left arm if I knew that was going to happen.
- christkv 5y agoI've also not seen any studies about side effects in people who already had the virus before getting the first dose.
