The Claim:
Two new studies claim that people vaccinated with mRNA COVID vaccines have had spike proteins detected in their breastmilk and their brain.
The Facts:
Any protein a baby (or anyone else) ingests gets denatured in the stomach. This includes the trace amounts of mRNA that may make it into breastmilk.
Those who are afraid of loose spike proteins need to know that a COVID infection is a much larger risk. After all, the virus produces spike proteins and in much larger amounts. An article from Cedars-Sinai explains how the virus making it to the brain might be behind brain fog and long-term symptoms in COVID patients.
