An “overvaccinated” German man who reportedly received 217 COVID-19 vaccinations in 29 months said he had “no signs of being infected” with the virus that causes COVID-19 and had no symptoms related to the vaccine. A study published in December 2018 revealed that the drug did not report any side effects. Journal “Lancet Infectious Diseases”.
Researchers at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg said the 62-year-old man from Magdeburg, Germany, had taken the large dose of the vaccine for “personal reasons.”
Researchers learned about the man from a newspaper report and asked if they could study his body's response to multiple jabs.
“We then contacted him and recommended him to undergo various tests in Erlangen,” said Dr. Kilian Schober. “He was very interested in doing that.”
The research team said it had officially confirmed 134 vaccines, including eight. They looked at the man's previous blood tests and also tested blood samples from when he was vaccinated.
“The observation that despite this unusual overvaccination, no noticeable side effects were caused indicates that the drug is well tolerated,” Shober said.
Researchers found that his immune system was fully functional.
Specific immune cells and antibodies against the virus that causes coronavirus disease 2 (Sars-CoV-2) were present at significantly higher levels in people who received only three doses of the vaccine, the researchers said. reported.
“Overall, we did not find any signs of a weakened immune response; rather, the opposite is true,” said Katharina Kocher, one of the lead study authors.
