That's a bit all-or-nothing. There have been cases of bad reactions to them (small scale). That's not my point though, and to be clear I'm not anti-vax, just wondering if the spike proteins actually cause damage, possibly cumulative. I don't recall where I got the idea that they are responsible for damage though.
- foldr 5y agoIt’s not all or nothing. It’s the only sensible conclusion that can be drawn after hundreds of millions of vaccinations. We know that the associated risks are tiny. There is always a non-zero risk from being injected with anything at all, but there is no reasonable sense in which COVID vaccines are “dangerous”. > and to be clear I'm not anti-vax, just wondering if the spike proteins actually cause damage, possibly cumulative. I don't recall where I got the idea that they are responsible for damage though. If you can’t even remember the source, it’s maybe not such a great idea to spread these sorts of unfounded rumors in the middle of a public health crisis.
- undersuit 5y agoThe viral infections don't make the perfect amount of spike protein for every complete viral particle that comes from the cellular infection, when the cell bursts open plenty of spike proteins and other partially assembled viral components are put into the blood stream. I'd think that if the spike protein was causing the reactions you mentioned we would have seen the spike protein is dangerous. An active infection is going to make more free floating spike protein in your body than the RNA vaccine ever did.
