COVID-19 vaccine spike proteins persist for months and cause symptoms?

One reason why COVID-19 vaccines are avoided by some is uncertainty over the spike protein, presumably part of COVID-19’s attack on the body, particularly how long it persists in the body after vaccination. Authorities like the CDC assure us that the “COVID-19 vaccines are safe” and that “the spike protein, like other proteins our bodies create, may stay in the body up to a few weeks”. Source.

A recent study (pre-print) found that there are vaccinated people with symptoms similar to ‘long COVID’, months after vaccination, and that this was associated with spike protein in the body. The authors conclude that “Post-vaccination individuals with PASC[long COVID]-like symptoms exhibit markers of platelet activation and pro-inflammatory cytokine production which may be driven by the persistence of SARS-CoV-2 S1 protein persistence in intermediate and non-classical monocytes.” Source.

Okay then.

Note: Some questions you may like to ask. Is it a great surprise that, given its novel mechanism of action, COVID-19 vaccines could cause symptoms similar to COVID-19 itself? How many spike proteins are produced, how long are they being produced and persisting, where in the body are they going, and what other damage might they be causing? Should we have come up with answers to such questions before approving, encouraging, and even mandating the vaccines? Just a few months ago we reported on other evidence also suggesting that the spike protein persists in the body for months, and the question there is worth repeating: “If the vaccine and spike proteins are still found in the body 60 days later, in a study where these levels were checked for 60 days, and booster shots are to be taken every few months, will those who subscribe to the vaccination program effectively have vaccine material and spike proteins permanently in their bodies?”
