According to the\u00a0Centers for Disease Control and Prevention<\/a>\u00a0(CDC), mRNA from COVID-19 vaccines is \u201cbroken down within a few days after vaccination and doesn\u2019t last long in the body\u201d<\/strong>\u2014a position it has adhered to since the pandemic’s beginning,\u00a0despite research suggesting otherwise\u00a0(pdf<\/a>)<\/strong>. The CDC refers to mRNA as \u201cmessenger RNA,\u201d whereas regulatory documents and Pfizer refer to the mRNA in COVID-19 vaccines as \u201cmodified RNA<\/a>.\u201d<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet a new study published on Aug. 31 in Proteomics Clinical Applications<\/a> found spike protein in the biological fluids of people who received an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine six months after vaccination,<\/strong> suggesting mRNA may be integrated or retranscribed in some cells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The study group included 20 subjects who received two doses of an mRNA COVID-19 vaccine, 20 who were unvaccinated and tested negative for COVID-19 or antibodies indicating they had previously been infected, and a control group of 20 unvaccinated participants who tested positive for COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Researchers then tested to differentiate synthetic spike proteins originating from mRNA vaccines from natural spike proteins in biological fluids, such as blood, urine, saliva, and bronchoalveolar lavage fluids<\/a> of study participants and monitored vaccine-induced spike protein following vaccination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spike Protein From mRNA Differs from Post-Infection Spike Protein<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to the study, spike proteins originating from the translation of mRNA vaccines differ from natural spike proteins that circulate in biological fluids post-infection because two proline amino acids replaced the amino acids lysine and valine to help stabilize the synthetic spike generated by vaccination. This double amino acid variation removed a tryptic digestion site (a necessary part of protein absorption) on the natural spike protein.<\/strong> Because of this, researchers said it is possible to differentiate between natural and synthetic spike protein in biological fluids using tryptic digestion followed by mass spectrometry analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Utilizing these techniques, researchers detected specific fragments of synthetic spike protein in about 50 percent of subjects who received mRNA vaccines<\/strong>. The synthetic spike protein was detected from 69 to 187 days following vaccination. All samples from the unvaccinated control group were negative, including the 20 individuals who had tested positive after contracting COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3 Hypotheses for Persistent Synthetic Spike Protein in Vaccinated<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Based on the results of the study, researchers suggested three possible hypotheses to explain why synthetic spike protein persisted in the vaccinated:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
