Can COVID vaccines harm unvaccinated people?

A new video from Children’s Health Defense claims that COVID vaccines were designed to spread vaccine materials (such as spike proteins) from vaccinated to unvaccinated people, causing health problems in both groups.

Shedding happens when a person who got a vaccine with a live virus releases that virus from their body, which might then be passed to someone else.

But the mRNA COVID vaccines don’t use live viruses. Instead, they use mRNA, which is like a set of instructions. It tells your cells to make spike proteins. These proteins show up on the outside of your cells so your immune system can recognize and fight the virus in the future.

The video claims that unvaccinated people can be exposed to spike proteins or mRNA just by being around someone who got the vaccine. But the video gives no evidence of this and doesn’t explain how it would even happen. The mRNA doesn’t make more copies of itself in your. cells—it’s just used once as instructions. Then breaks down, usually within a day. The mRNA is so unstable that the vaccine has to be stored at very cold temperatures, sometimes as cold as -70°C.

The video also says that this shedding is part of a plan to hurt people on purpose. Such a conspiracy would be almost impossible because creating and delivering vaccines involves thousands of scientists, researchers, companies, and governments worldwide. It would be nearly impossible for so many people, across many countries and languages, to secretly plan and keep hidden something harmful without anyone uncovering strong proof. Mathematically, the more people involved in a conspiracy, the harder it becomes to hide it over time.
