Those of us affected by this not only have to battle it, but generally do battle with those believing our symptoms are from something else entirely.
Thus we are not only battling the fallout from those we have helped during their sickness or troubles, but are also now battling them in trying to explain the evidence.
Not many hear us.
If this has happened to you, please leave a comment.
Well before this I was removed from major platforms even with evidence so have not been able to do a report as all who attend to truth and evidence unless they are celebrities or well known from a political party. . .are silenced and targeted.

Vaccine shedding refers to the phenomenon where individuals who have received certain vaccines, particularly live attenuated vaccines, can release the vaccine strain of the virus. This shedding can potentially pose risks to unvaccinated or immunocompromised individuals. Live attenuated vaccines, such as MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella), rotavirus, chicken pox, shingles, and influenza vaccines, are known to cause shedding for varying periods, typically around 21 days following vaccination.

The process of vaccine shedding has been documented in various studies and public health guidelines. For instance, the St. Jude Inpatient Visiting Guide highlights the importance of avoiding contact with recently vaccinated individuals for immune-suppressed children, emphasizing the potential risks associated with vaccine shedding.
Furthermore, research has shown that vaccinated individuals can spread the disease they were vaccinated against, particularly in the initial period following vaccination.

Concerns about vaccine shedding have been addressed in a special report by Mike Adams, known as the Health Ranger, which provides strategies for individuals to protect themselves from potential risks associated with vaccine shedding. Adams emphasizes the need for awareness and proactive health measures, suggesting the use of natural supplements and pharmaceuticals to bolster the immune system and mitigate the risks of exposure.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has taken steps to restore public trust in vaccines by reconstituting the Advisory Committee for Immunization Practices (ACIP), aiming to ensure that vaccine recommendations are based on unbiased science and transparent processes.

It is important to note that while vaccine shedding is a recognized phenomenon, the overall risk to the general population is considered low, and the benefits of vaccination in preventing serious diseases are well-established. Public health officials continue to monitor and study vaccine shedding to ensure the safety and effectiveness of vaccination programs.

Health Ranger Special Report: Protect yourself from vaccine shedders

The Health Ranger's report emphasizes the importance of a multi-faceted approach to protect oneself from the effects of vaccine shedding. Adams highlights several key strategies, including the use of natural supplements and pharmaceuticals that can bolster the immune system and mitigate the risks of exposure.

One of the most prominent recommendations is the use of Ivermectin, a broad-spectrum antiparasitic medication that has gained attention for its potential antiviral properties. Adams cites research indicating that Ivermectin can inhibit the replication of certain viruses, making it a valuable tool in the arsenal against vaccine shedders. He advises that individuals should consult with their healthcare providers to determine the appropriate dosage and frequency of use.

Nicotine, another surprising recommendation, is discussed in the context of its ability to modulate the immune system. Adams explains that nicotine can stimulate the production of certain immune cells and reduce inflammation, which may help protect against viral infections. However, he cautions that the use of nicotine should be approached carefully, and individuals should avoid smoking or vaping, opting instead for nicotine patches or gum under medical supervision.

In addition to these pharmaceutical options, Adams advocates for a robust regimen of natural supplements. Vitamin C, zinc, and elderberry are highlighted for their well-documented benefits in supporting immune function. Probiotics are also recommended to maintain a healthy gut microbiome, which is crucial for overall immune health.

Embracing a Holistic Lifestyle: Clean Living and Stress Management
Beyond supplements and medications, the Health Ranger stresses the importance of adopting a holistic lifestyle to enhance one's defenses against vaccine shedding. Clean living is a cornerstone of this approach, encompassing a balanced diet, regular exercise, and adequate sleep. Adams emphasizes the need to minimize exposure to environmental toxins, such as those found in processed foods, plastics, and air pollution, which can weaken the immune system and increase vulnerability to infections.

Stress management is another critical component of the holistic approach. Chronic stress can significantly impair immune function, making individuals more susceptible to various illnesses. Adams suggests techniques such as mindfulness meditation, deep breathing exercises, and regular physical activity to manage stress levels effectively.

In conclusion, Mike Adams' special report on vaccine shedding is a wake-up call for individuals to take proactive steps in protecting their health. By understanding the science behind vaccine shedding and implementing a combination of natural and pharmaceutical measures, along with adopting a holistic lifestyle, individuals can significantly reduce the risks associated with exposure to vaccine shedders. As the debate around vaccines continues, it is crucial to stay informed and empowered to make the best health choices for oneself and the community.

The Forgotten Side of Medicine

What We've Learned from a Year of Vaccine Shedding Data

•After the COVID-19 vaccines hit the market, stories began emerging of unvaccinated individuals becoming ill after being in proximity to recently vaccinated individuals. This confused many, as the mRNA technology in theory should not be able to “shed.”

•After seeing countless patient cases which can only be explained by COVID vaccine shedding, a year ago, I initiated multiple widely seen calls for individuals to share suspected shedding experiences.

•From those 1,500 reports, clear and replicable patterns have emerged which collectively prove “shedding” is a real and predictable phenomenon that can be explained by known mechanisms unique to the mRNA technology.

•Likewise, after being blocked from publication for over a year, recently, a scientific study corroborating the shedding phenomenon was finally published.

•This article will map out everything that is known about shedding (e.g., what are the common symptoms, how does it happen, who does it affect, does it occur through sexual contact, can it cause severe issues like cancer) along with strategies for preventing it.

When doctors in this movement speak at events about vaccines, by far the most common question they receive is, “Is vaccine shedding real?”

This is understandable as COVID-19 vaccine shedding (becoming ill from vaccinated individuals) represents the one way the unvaccinated are also at risk from the vaccines and hence still need to be directly concerned about them.

Simultaneously, it’s a challenging topic as:

•We believe it is critical to not publicly espouse divisive ideas (e.g., “PureBloods” vs. those who were vaccinated) that prevent the public from coming together and helping everyone. The vaccines were marketed on the basis of division (e.g., by encouraging immense discrimination against the unvaccinated), and many unvaccinated individuals thus understandably hold a lot of resentment for how the vaccinated treated them. We do not want to perpetuate anything similar (e.g., discrimination in the other direction).

•We don’t want to create any more unnecessary fear—which is an inevitable consequence of opening up a conversation about shedding.

•In theory, shedding with the mRNA vaccines should be “impossible,” so claiming otherwise puts one on very shaky ground.

Conversely, if shedding is real, we believe it is critical to expose as:

•Those being affected by it are in a horrible situation, particularly if everyone is gaslighting them about it and insisting it’s all in their head.

•It provides one of the strongest arguments to pull the mRNA vaccines from the market and prohibit the widespread deployment of mRNA technologies in the future.

For those reasons, Pierre Kory and I have spent the last year and a half trying to collect as much evidence as possible to map out this phenomenon with the following data sets:

•Dozens of extremely compelling patient histories1,2,3 from Kory and Marsland’s medical practice, including many responding to spike protein treatment.
•My own experience with patients and friends affected by shedding.
• I read large numbers of reports of shedding in (now deleted) online support groups.
•Roughly 1,500 reports from individuals affected by shedding we were able to collect.
•Extensive menstrual data compiled by MyCycleStory.

From that and the hundreds of hours of work that went into it (particularly reviewing and sorting the 1,500 reports), we can state the following with relative certainty:

Shedding is very real (e.g., each of those datasets is congruent with the others), and many of the stories of those affected by it are very sad.
People’s sensitivity to it dramatically varies.
Most of the people who are sensitive to shedding have already figured it out.
Mechanistically, shedding is very difficult to explain. However, now that new evidence has emerged, a much stronger case can be made for the mechanisms I initially proposed a year ago.

By far, the most common symptom of shedding is unusual and disrupted menstrual bleeding (which is also the most common COVID vaccine injury). This in turn, was the first thing that alerted me to the inconceivable possibility the vaccines could shed, as I quickly received many similar reports of highly unusual menstrual bleeding, which appeared to be due to exposure to someone who was vaccinated.

After this, the most common symptoms were headaches, flu-like illnesses, nosebleeds, fatigue, rashes, tinnitus, sinus or nasal issues, and shingles. Other less frequent symptoms are also repeatedly seen (e.g., palpitations, herpes outbreaks, and hair loss).

Additionally, many noticed they could immediately tell when they were in the vicinity of a shedder, typically either due to noticing a unique odor or symptoms immediately onsetting.

Generally speaking, the character of shedding symptoms were quite similar to long COVID and vaccine injuries, but typically were more superficial in nature, suggesting the body was reacting to a harmful external pathogenic factor rather than one already deep inside the body. More severe issues (e.g., cancers or heart attacks) also occurred, but these were much rarer than what you saw in the vaccine injured population, again suggesting shedding was primarily an external reaction. Interestingly, most of the (fairly varied) shedding symptoms overlap with the conditions DMSO treats (e.g., strokes), suggesting that DMSO’s key mechanisms of action (e.g., increasing blood flow, eliminating large and small blood clots, being highly anti-inflammatory, and rescuing cells from the cell danger response) are the exact opposite of what shedding does to the body.

In the same manner that there is a fairly high replicability in the symptoms individuals who are affected by shedding experience, there is also a fairly high congruency in the patterns of how they are affected. Specifically:

Some individuals are hypersensitive to shedders and can immediately detect when they are in the presence of a shedder or are on their way to developing harmful symptoms.
Others are less sensitive, but quickly notice specific characteristic symptoms consistently occur following shedding exposures (e.g., always feeling ill when a vaccinated husband returns from a long trip away, when going to church each week, when singing with their choir, or when taking a crowded route to work).

In some cases, they are able to identify a “super shedder” (amongst a group) who consistently made them ill, and in many cases they can identify the exact shedding incident that made them ill. Likewise, through tracking serial spike protein antibody levels (e.g., for patients undergoing treatment for long Covid or a vaccine injury) we’ve objectively corroborated that shedding exposures repeatedly worsen these patients (providing an explanation for why their symptoms “inexplicably” ebb and flow), that this can be seen objectively in their lab work and that spike protein treatments after shedding exposures clinically improve these patients.

Note: Pierre Kory’s practice has been able to determine that those they suspect are a shedder (e.g., a husband) test positive (through an antibody test) for a high spike protein levels and that eliminating the shedder from the patient’s life or treating the (asymptomatic) shedder with a vaccine injury protocol frequently significantly improves their patient’s recovery. Likewise, readers here have reported significant improvements from avoiding shedders—which sadly in some cases has required the more sensitive individuals to isolate themselves from society.

In the majority of cases, the effects of shedding are temporary and go away, but in a subset of people, they can last for months if not years.
Recognition of the shedding phenomenon has forced many to significantly change their lives. This included regretfully terminating a long-term romantic relationship, leaving their line of work (e.g., some massage therapists can no longer handle working on vaccinated clients), or only seeing unvaccinated healthcare providers (e.g., numerous people reported getting ill from vaccinated chiropractors or massage therapists, and we now periodically will have patients state they can only see us if we are unvaccinated).
The “stronger” the shedding exposure, the more likely shedding is to cause issues, but conversely, for more sensitive patients, “weaker” exposures also will. More substantial exposures include being around someone who was recently vaccinated or boosted (as shedding is strongest initially), being around more shedders, being in a confined space (e.g., a car) with a shedder for a prolonged period, or having close physical contact with a shedder.

SIRS (systemic inflammatory response syndrome) is a life-threatening medical emergency caused by your body’s overwhelming response to a stressor. This could be things like an infection, trauma or a worsening health condition. SIRS requires prompt treatment in a hospital.

However, I’ve since received numerous accounts from sensitive patients identically matching hers along with similar but less extreme cases,12 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 such as a sensitive osteopath who can no longer see vaccinated patients, or a susceptible nurse who shared: “I am so distraught. I went to school and trained for this work. I loved caring for my senior community, and now they’re all Covid vaccinated.”

Additionally, many of these individuals pointed out that they had the MTHFR genetic polymorphism, and attributed their sensitivity to it.1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 While this is likely true (as MTHFR has long been observed to increase one’s likelihood of a vaccine injury), I am unsure how useful this data point is as there are many different MTHFR mutations that create varying susceptibilities (e.g., 60-70% of the population has an MTHFR mutation but most are not of the type that creates hypersensitivities).

Note: as I discuss here, sensitive patients are largely neglected and unrecognized by the medical system but frequently encountered in clinical practice. Typically in addition to being sensitive to environmental toxins or medical interventions, they are also very empathetic and aware of subtle human (or animal) qualities others miss. Generally, they tend to have an ectomorphic or Satvic constitution and are hypermobile (which as discussed here, plays a key role in why they tend to frequently experience vaccine injuries). Since publishing those articles, many readers here have shared they belong to that archetype and are more frequently injured (e.g., by shedding).

Due to these susceptibilities, those patients frequently have chronic illnesses such as mast cell degranulation disorder, multiple chemical sensitivities, EMF sensitivities, Lyme disease, mold toxicity, and fibromyalgia. These patients were more likely to avoid the COVID-19 vaccine (due to their previous bad experiences with pharmaceuticals) and more likely to be chronically debilitated by the COVID vaccine (or a COVID-19 infection). Tragically, we’ve also seen many people develop these sensitivities after a COVID-19 vaccine injury, and a few people have shared spike shedding caused them to develop environmental sensitivities (e.g., this reader lost the ability to eat meat—something I had previously only seen after tick borne diseases). Additionally, I received a report from someone who noticed environmental EMFs worsened their sensitivities to shedding.

The sensitive patients tend to be the most susceptible to shedding. I’ve seen numerous reports of individuals (e.g., consider this report from one of Pierre Kory’s patients) who can immediately tell if they are around individuals who have been vaccinated (e.g., because they immediately feel a “toxic” presence or feel a shedder injure them). Likewise, these patients tend to become ill from “weaker” shedding exposures.

Note: I consider myself to be a sensitive individual, but I have not had any issues being in close proximity to people (e.g., patients) who were recently vaccinated. Conversely, many of my sensitive female friends (who are less sensitive than me) have experienced notable effects from shedding (e.g., menstrual abnormalities), which suggests to me there is more to this picture than just having a “sensitive” constitution.

The second group is patients sensitized to the spike protein due to a previous vaccine injury or long COVID. These patients frequently find their symptoms worsen when they are around vaccinated individuals, and many have reported that their sensitivity to shedding increases with time.

The Shedding Odor
One of the odd things quite a few people have reported is a distinct smell which emerged around them after the vaccines entered the market. For example, consider this comment from a reader:

In terms of crowds... I too have experienced this many times. I feel unwell with flu like symptoms and can smell a unique ordour around people. After feeling this way and smelling the same ordour several times in company with family and friends, I confirmed the correlation with the covid vaccination. As it transpired each has been vaccinated within the previous week. I am very sensitive to meds and in general and I swear I can smell something so now I ask and yep the link is there!

I have received a variety of similar descriptions of the smell itself.1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55

The labels I’ve seen used to describe the smell are as follows (with those in bold being the ones more commonly reported): “mild sickly sweet,” “rotting [or dying] flesh,” “magnetic onion,” “unpleasant,” “distinctive,” “the smell of death,” “medicines plus latrines,” “musty,” “musty plus rancid” “dead animal,” “a decomposing body,” “road kill,” “putrid meat,” “like ammonia but not as strong,” “sweet,” “sour stomach” “elderly person as their flesh breaks down with age,” “a chemical flu smell” “of seaweed,” “putrid,” “sweet meat” “strange and metallic” “sharp, pungent and toxic” “horrible” “unique odor” “chemical,” “sharp chemical,” “vinegar,” “sour,” “subtle like a pheromone,” “chemical floral,” “foul and sweet,” “acid smell,” “similar to smell chemotherapy patients have,” “horrendous breath,” “overpowering.”

From investigating this odor (which I personally cannot smell) I’ve learned:

•The three things that most closely match the odors described here are trans-2-Nonenal, malondialdehyde, and rotting organic matter—all of which can naturally occur in the body, suggesting the shedding odor to some extent represent spike protein tissue injury, and to some extent are congruent with the observation the vaccine often causes accelerated aging.

•The other “chemical” smell-sensitive individuals have started observing throughout the environment, which may be from molds in the environment metabolizing the shedded spike protein or the disinfectants sprayed everywhere throughout COVID-19.

•A higher spike protein load appears to be “easier” to smell (e.g., in someone recently vaccinated—as spike protein levels spike in the blood after vaccination, if the shedder has had a higher total number of COVID vaccines, when in close proximity to a shedder particularly if some type of intimate contact occurred, or when around someone who for some reason sheds to a greater degree). Similarly, more sensitive people (who are typically more likely to be injured by the vaccines) are more likely to detect this smell (e.g., they can still smell it once the shedders are no longer physically present), and in many cases can consistently tell if someone was vaccinated.

•Given that dogs can detect COVID-19 infections with a high degree of accuracy (e.g., one study found they could spot it in sweat samples from infected individuals two days earlier than PCR tests and with a 97% accuracy), dogs could most likely also easily be trained to detect shedders. However, to my knowledge, this has not yet been done.

•Given the previous, I am curious if individuals who can smell shedders also noticed that smell from COVID-19 (especially before the vaccine hit the market). As I did not specifically solicit it, only one reader thus far has reported it (an acid-burning smell both times they got COVID), so if you have as well, please let us know.
Note: oddly as I was working on this article, a friend at dinner shared that their body felt as though something metallic, grainy, and synthetic was in it when they had COVID.

•Individuals who can smell this will likely lose their attraction to shedders (as appealing smells are often the most important thing for sexual compatibility).

•A very perceptive colleague who can smell this reports that it appears to be being emitted through the pores, which is consistent with the evidence suggesting the shedding occurs through the sweat since it contaminates sheets.

I’ve also found cases where:

•Secondary shedding could be smelled.

•A sexual partner lost their distinctive odor.

•A few individuals with a vaccine injury could smell the shedding odor on themselves (especially in armpit sweat), and some of them noticed it worsened as their symptoms flared.1 2 3 4

In certain cases, individuals perceived the shedding odor through a different sense. These included:

•Since smell is intimately linked to taste, I expected to receive reports resembling the smells. However, almost all of them were simply a “metallic taste,” with the only additional qualifiers being one who found it “unpleasant” and one who had a “dry acid feeling on my tongue.”1 2 3 4 5 6 7. While a metallic taste can represent many things, its frequent association with mold toxicity caught my attention.

Note: in the FOIA’d V-safe free-text data, many disclosed that they noticed a metallic taste following COVID vaccination (e.g., in the first batch of reports, 2346 respondents reported it, whereas for comparison, 15,786 vaccine recipients reported dizziness or vertigo).

•One reader felt as though their nose was inhaling glass shards, suggesting that shedding nosebleeds may be due to whatever is shed damaging superficial blood vessels. Likewise, another noticed inhaling shedder’s sweat caused their lungs to be “on fire like pins and needles,” another reported feeling as though they had inhaled some type of particulate from the air, could not stop coughing, and started feeling sick almost immediately, and a fourth feels shedding in his eyes (and also sneezes).

•One reader reported a hard and painful substance formed inside their nostril from fluid dripping through the pores in the nose and eventually coalescing into a difficult to remove stalactite (which may have been due to a zeta potential collapse of those nasal secretions).

•A few sensitive individuals a distinct energetic “aura” shedders had.1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Most commonly, it was described as “metallic,” but also repeatedly as “heavy,” “dark,” “thick,” “black,” or “grey.” Additionally, individuals described becoming disconnected from the shedder, becoming unable to feel them, and having a dullness of mind—much of which is congruent with “brain fog.”

•One reported overwhelming dread around the shedders, while numerous readers have reported anxiety,1 2 3 4 5mood changes, and depression1 2 3 4 from shedding (some of which I suspect is due to either internal fluid stagnation or heart damage).
Note: there was a case where an “incredibly spiritual” massage therapist said she could not pray for 2 years after working on a series of vaccinated clients.

Two of the most common side effects of COVID vaccination were the spike protein causing an autoimmune disease or it causing an exacerbation of a pre-existing one. This has also been seen with shedding, but not as frequently as after vaccination. For example:

Skin rashes are frequently reported after shedding exposures.1 2 3 4. 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73

Most frequently these resemble hives, although a few people also reported psoriasis1 2 3 4, rosacea,1 shingles-like rash, and areas that felt like a rash but not was visible,1 2 or rosacea. Here are two examples of the rashes.1 2

Many experienced severe (often stabbing) pain throughout the body,1 2 3 4 5 6 7 trigeminal neuralagia,1 2 3 4 peripheral neuropathy1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15and signs of impaired sensation in the peripheral nerves (e.g., numbness or pins and needles).1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16

Note: it’s hard to say if these nervous symptoms were due neural inflammation or inadequate blood supply to the nerves, as both can cause neuropathy and both follow COVID vaccination).

A variety of inflammatory nervous disorders were also reported such as Parsonage Turner syndrome (brachial neuritis), Transverse Myelitis, Ocular Neuritis and ADEM followed by behavioral changes, Multiple Sclerosis like symptoms1 2 3 (e.g., severe pain on the skin or sensitive skin) along with periodic electric pulses through the arms and legs (another MS symptom)—many of which I have also seen in vaccine injured patients.

Two individuals reported asthma exacerbations.1 2 Breathing issues1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 and lung pain were also repeatedly reported. As chest pain or tightness was also reported1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 (along with numerous blood clots) it’s hard to say how many of these cases were due to an autoimmune response and how many were due clots in the lungs.

A major problem with modern science is that things (including those you see with your own eyes) are assumed to not exist unless an agreed upon mechanism exists to explain them. As such, I frequently will observe things (e.g., shedding) I can tell exist, but will be vociferously denounced by my peers for endorsing—despite the fact existing mechanisms are routinely disproved (e.g., depression is not a chemical imbalance) and new ones are regularly discovered.

Note: the mechanistic trap is often utilized to string together a series of misleading premises to assert a scientific orthodoxy (e.g., that the COVID vaccines “do not persist in the body” or that “they cannot change your DNA”) rather than providing data to establish the assertion.

As such, a key focus has been on identifying mechanisms that could explain shedding.

Is Shedding Possible?
Typically, shedding occurs (e.g., from a live viral vaccine like MMR or polio) because an individual “sheds” a self-replicating form of the disease. This results in a low concentration of the pathogen, which the shedder expels into their environment, then amplifies within the recipient and eventually reaches a comparable concentration to what was found in the “shedder.”

However, the mRNA vaccines do not contain self replicating pathogens, so limited options exist for what could spread, none of which make sense. For example:

•It’s possible some of the vaccine nanoparticles are excreted (especially when someone was recently vaccinated), but so few exist to begin with that it is unlikely that enough could ever be excreted to affect someone (let alone for an indefinite period), particularly since they cannot penetrate the skin, but many have reported reacting to touching surfaces shedders have contacted.

•If the spike protein produced by the vaccine is being shed, it seems nearly impossible that one’s tolerance to it could vary so greatly that one person could be asymptomatic from a large number of spike protein inside them, but another could become ill from the small amount that periodically exit that person and then are massively diluted in the environment.

At the same time however, Pfizer’s protocol for testing their vaccine:

Prohibited pregnant women or those breast feeding from receiving the vaccine (or future doses if they had already received one).

Stated it needed to be reported if a pregnant women (e.g., a healthcare worker in the trials) was exposed to the intervention by inhalation or skin contact from someone who had been vaccinated.

Stated it needed to be reported if someone in the previous category (not vaccinated but exposed to someone who was) then was in close proximity to their wife and their wife was pregnant.

This suggested either that Pfizer knew shedding (and secondary shedding) was a real problem, or that they were following the existing standards—the FDA stipulates that gene therapies need to be evaluated for shedding before being given to humans (and furthermore be subsequently tested for shedding in humans). For context, both the FDA and the EMA (along with Moderna and Pfizer 1,2,3) classify the mRNA vaccines as a gene therapy.

Note: the first approved gene therapy, Luxturna, (which works like the J&J vaccine by using a modified virus to produce a target protein in the patient), is an eye medication (that costs $425,000.00 per eye) that treats a rare form of genetic vision loss (that DMSO also treats). Its prescribing information specifies that Luxturna can be found in a patient’s tears after injection. Hence, for the first seven days after injection, care must be taken to prevent anyone else from coming in contact with those tears and to prevent unintended shedding of the product. Another similar gene therapy, Roctavian was also found to shed (e.g., into semen), and the FDA advises those who receive it not to donate semen or impregnate someone for at least 6 months after administration. Finally, Zolgensma, a gene therapy, utilizing a different virus was also found to shed for a month, and its package insert advises that during this time, to be careful of how feces from the patients are disposed of (so no one else is exposed to it). Additionally, there is one other gene therapy on the market, but due to its design, shedding was unlikely (and hence undetected) so the FDA does not advise special precautions for its recipients. Curiously, the package inserts for all of the American COVID vaccines do not mention shedding.

Shedding Mechanisms
Note: a previous article provides important additional context for this section.

At this point, I have identified three viable shedding mechanisms which can account for the existing data.

Exosome Mediated Shedding
Exosomes are small spheres continually released from cell membranes to communicate with their surroundings (many vital processes are regulated by exosomes) and transport intercellular contents. Mothers for example have exosomes in their breastmilk which make it through the digestive tract and deliver [micro]RNA to their developing babies which plays a critical epigenetic role in guiding their healthy development).
Note: exosomes are very similar to and inspired the creation of lipid nanoparticles (which were used to make the COVID vaccines).

One of the unique aspects of COVID-19 is that it “poisons” the exosome system.1,2,3,4,5
In turn, at the start of the pandemic, it was discovered that using therapeutic (healthy) exosomes produced dramatic results from severe COVID-191,2,3 and numerous people I am close to almost certainly would have died had we not given them therapeutic exosomes.

Later, it was discovered that the COVID vaccine also poisons the exosome system, which I believe is primarily due to the mRNA vaccine overproducing spike proteins which then get pushed out of the cells onto their membrane (at which point they bud off into spike protein studded exosomes). Additionally, those exosomes may also contain either vaccine mRNA or plasmids.
