![]() ![]() Peter Murray, professor of immunology at the Max Planck Institute for Biochemistry, told AFP that Covid-19 vaccines produce far fewer spike proteins than SARS-CoV-2. Vaccine safetyĮxperts told AFP that Covid-19 vaccines do not produce harmful levels of spike proteins. "The spike protein in the coronavirus behaves differently from the spike protein in vaccines”, the spokesperson said. The study’s last sentence says that when someone receives a Covid-19 vaccine, it “not only protects the host from SARS-CoV-2 but also inhibits imposed endothelial injury”.Ī Salk Institute spokesperson told AFP the spike proteins in Covid-19 vaccines are safe because they only remain in a person's arm muscle for a short period. The Salk Institute's study concluded that Covid-19 vaccines are an effective and safe way to protect people from the virus. The misleading posts misrepresent the implications of the study for the safety of Covid-19 vaccines. Thousands of other social media users from around the world have shared similar misleading claims on Facebook in multiple languages since the beginning of May alongside the Salk Institute study, for example here, here and here. The post asks: “Of course, they don't take this to its logical next conclusion (?), but it begs the question: if this new manufactured virus-free spike protein can do damage like this, what does this mean for the walking spike protein factories we are creating with certain products?” These vaccines - which include the Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines - trigger an immune response to the virus by instructing cells to create copies of spike proteins. It implies that mRNA vaccines specifically may not be safe. ![]() The post uses this to misleadingly question the safety of coronavirus vaccines. ![]() The institute’s study looked at how the spike proteins in SARS-CoV-2 - the virus that causes Covid-19 - damage cells in a person’s vascular system. The misleading posts link to this media release about a study by researchers at the Salk Institute, a US-based nonprofit research foundation.
