Spoiler alert: he was fine and it didn’t improve his immunity in a significant way

    It’s not clear why the man wanted so many vaccinations or how he obtained them.

    Schober and the team compared the man’s immune responses—measured by his blood antibody levels, the first line of defense against a virus, and T cell levels, which are responsible for the body’s longer-term response—to those of a control group of 29 people who had received three COVID-19 shots.

    “His immune system was neither positively nor negatively affected," says Schober.

    I fixed the article. Somebody accidentally added a bunch of crap that provided no meaningful information.

      But he neither dropped dead, nor mutated into the antichrist, nor turned into a 5G hotspot. So if nothing else at least he’s proof positive that the anti-vaccination idiots can just shut the fuck up already.

        Becoming a 5G hotspot sounds like an incentive tbh

          Yeah, free built in 5G hotspot technology for only 217 vaccinations? Sign me up!

          Until ISP’s do their standard ISP things and start charging you for 5G usage for as long as you live. That, or they move to 6G and you become the victim of planned obsolescence

        All that mercury in the vaccine must have turned him into his own Faraday cage.

        Sheesh how stupid do you think the antivaxxers are? Obviously the vaccine has homeopathic qualities, so such a large dose won’t do anything, duh 🙄

        It didn’t say anything about him becoming magnetic though, so maybe? 🧐

        (j/k, obviously, before some idiot rolls in here and starts something serious that I just yeah no)

      There were a few cases of people that made it a business to get the vaccine with someone else’s identity/vaccine card because they were anti-vaxxers that didn’t want to get locked out of stuff. Probably something like that?

    It makes sense that he would be perfectly alright. The vaccinations introduce such a tiny amount of just spike proteins (not full viruses, just parts the body can recognize later in an infection) that they are only detectable by lab equipment. Here’s published research detailing just such an experiment. For anyone who just wants a summary:

    • The authors needed to use tests with “ultralow detection limits” to keep track of the antigen (substance causing an immune reaction, in this case the spike proteins). Again, this is because there’s barely any proteins introduced - the goal is to train the body to recognize the full COVID virus and that really doesn’t take much at all.
    • The body starts clearing out those tiny amounts of proteins within a few days of vaccination and they are undetectable not long after that.

    So basically this story is the equivalent of showing someone a wanted poster for a criminal over and over again. After a couple of times this guy’s body would have recognized the proteins and immediately got down to cleaning them out. They were never full viruses or at a level anywhere near a “natural” COVID infection. When people feel shitty after a COVID (or any other) vaccine, it’s because their bodies have sounded the alarm and activated defenses like fever, inflammation, etc. not the vaccine doing damage beyond the physical needle prick. There is proof of some people getting myocarditis following vaccination but it’s rare and not as severe as what they would have gotten following a “natural” COVID infection and they recover quickly with almost none needing hospitalization.

        Wow that’s an excellent observation, maybe you can provide some extra insight the scientists are unable to.

    His cell service must be super advanced, since the shot has 5G he’s on 1085G now

      He’s like Professor X with Ceribro, but for phones. He knows where every phone is and can listen to every call you make.

    This guy’s vaccination card is probably longer than a CVS receipt

      Not every CVS receipt, mind you. But at least one of them

    The researchers concluded that overall, while the man’s excessive vaccination history increased his antibody levels and apparently protected him from infection, hyper-activating his immune system did not seem to have a negative effect on his ability to mount an adequate response. At the same time, his extreme measures did not seem to afford him a level of super-immunity that distinguished his response dramatically from others who followed the recommended vaccination schedule. “His immune system was neither positively nor negatively affected," says Schober.

    This is hilarious, and I’m actually glad someone did this, even if he didn’t intend to prove that the vaccine is so safe.

    BUT I really feel it when I get the jab. I’ve always been extra sensitive to vaccine side-effects, I’m basically out of commission the whole next day. Makes me feel like I have a terrible cold, aches and pains, congestion, etc. for a full day after, and serious pain at the injection site for almost a week. None of that stops me from getting vaccines, because I value my life, but how the hell did this guy manage??

      The most important implication about reaction to vaccines is that a real infection could potentially be MUCH worse.
