According to a well-known website that propagates conspiracy theories, people who are not vaccinated against Covid get contaminated by the spike protein in the vaccinated ones, through the phenomenon known as shedding.

The vaccine that causes all of the world's diseases

NEWS: “Today, they are not talking enough about how it's the other way around: the jabbed pass on the spike protein to the unjabbed around them, with whom they are in prolonged contact in the same environment. It's called shedding, and many of the unjabbed are ignoring the phenomenon. Why? Simple: because we have close relatives with whom we live or friends whom we see often, we shake hands and hug, at the risk of receiving the wonderful mRNA messenger. Not to mention sexual relations between a jabbed and an unjabbed. But we prefer not to think about it because it's already too much. It would mean that members of the same family should separately. But that's the reality, the magic of the serum can be transmitted. How does it work? It is a lie that the protein production mechanism remains in the body of the jabbed. It travels throughout the body through the lymph and bloodstream. The jabbed eliminate the spike protein through breath, excrements, secretions (proteins are found in sweat glands). Why does elimination occur? Because the jabbed body is trying to detoxify itself.

The much reviled and hunted America's Frontline Doctors have researched and repeatedly warned about shedding, the spread of spikes among healthy, unjabbed people. The conspiratorial doctors have even studied the Pfizer documents, in which the pharmaceutical giant recognizes this shedding mechanism, "by inhalation or contact with the skin" [...] Cases of pericarditis, shingles, pneumonia, blood clots in the extremities and brain, Bell's palsy, vaginal bleeding, and spontaneous abortions in persons in close contact with the jabbed have been reported all over the world”.

NARRATIVE: People who have not been vaccinated against Covid are at risk of getting sick through contamination with the spike protein from vaccinated people, through the shedding phenomenon.

CONTEXT: False narratives regarding the effectiveness and the effects of vaccination have been circulating in Romania for many years, but they became much more visible with the advent of anti-Covid vaccines. Among the promoters of these false narratives are conspiracy theorists, radical Orthodox, sovereigntists, Euro-skeptics and anti-Westerners. Over time, they have sought to validate their anti-vaccination theories by citing pseudo-experts, anonymous websites, or falsely citing various studies. Veridica has already debunked several fake news and pieces of disinformation about the Covid vaccine, which they claim  would shorten the lives of men by 24 years , cause testicular cancer  in men and physical disabilities  in women, and are generally behind the wave of  “sudden deaths” faced by humanity these days.  

False claims that coronavirus vaccines can be passed from an immunized person to an unvaccinated person, and then somehow affect their immune system, have been circulating since the vaccines came on the market in 2021. Initially, the narrative claimed that by “contamination' the female reproductive system would be affected, but because in the meantime this theory has been proven false, it has been expanded and now its promoters claim that by 'contamination' with the spike protein, those affected acquire a range of more varied medical conditions.

America's Frontline Doctors (AFLDS) is an American right-wing political organization that became known during the Covid19 pandemic by challenging the health measures imposed by the authorities and by spreading false narratives about the pandemic and anti-Covid vaccines. The organization is affiliated with the Tea Party Patriots, one of the 11 groups listed on the website of the "March to Save America," the pro-Trump rally that led to the storming of the Capitol in January 2021. Incidentally, AFLDS founder Simone Gold, a well-known anti-vaxxer American doctor, whose license to practice medicine expired at the end of 2020, was sentenced to 60 days in prison and a fine of $9,500 after pleading guilty before the court for her participation in the assault.

PURPOSE: To undermine the population's trust in the authorities, promote the anti-vaccine discourse, trigger and amplify social tensions.

Vaccines or the spike protein do not spread from person to person

WHY THE NARRATIVE IS FALSE: The term "shedding" was used frequently in the early days of the pandemic to describe people transmitting or emitting coronavirus particles. The term was used by  scientists measuring the amount of “viral shedding”  to try to identify when sick people are most infectious. The term does not denote a phenomenon whereby the unvaccinated are contaminated with elements of the vaccine administered to people with whom they come into contact. Many of the false narratives talk about spike protein contamination, not understanding how vaccines work. The principle of the anti-Covid vaccine   is that it gives the body instructions, to "teach" the cells how to produce a protein that triggers an immune response inside our body. After the piece of protein is created, the cell breaks down the instructions and gets rid of them. Vaccines cannot cause people to shed either the SARS-CoV-2 virus, because it does not exist in mRNA vaccines, or the spike protein.

Also, at this moment there is no study or evidence that the spike protein can get shed from the bodies of the vaccinated people. Pfizer's so-called recognition of the shedding mechanism, "by inhalation or skin contact", is only a deeply flawed interpretation and a rudimentary translation of a chapter from one of the many studies conducted by the company, prior to the release of the vaccine, which evaluated the safety, tolerability, immunogenicity and efficacy of the anti-Covid ARNm vaccine.  In the cited chapter, the researchers warned the subjects participating in the study and the auxiliary medical staff to report within a maximum of 24 hours if they became pregnant (women) or induced a pregnancy (men), regardless of whether or not they suffered any adverse reactions that would could be correlated with the administered vaccine which, indeed, at that time, was an experimental one.

Dr. Dasantila Golemi-Kotra, a microbiologist at York University, said that ”no spike protein gets shed when we get vaccinated”.  Calling this claim "distorted science", she added that even if the spike protein were shed from the body, which is impossible, it couldn’t infect someone else. Proteins are sticky and very unstable molecules. If they are ingested, they get destroyed by the low pH in the stomach and the enzymes there, and if they land on the skin or enter the mouth, eyes or nose, they are digested by the enzymes secreted by our cells in these environments.

GRAIN OF TRUTH: The only human vaccine that has caused infections is the oral polio vaccine. Currently, however, this vaccine is no longer used in developed countries, but only in a few countries in Asia and Africa, resulting in a small number of vaccine-induced polio infections each year.
