Research paper identifies potential mRNA vaccine shedding mechanisms

A new research paper titled “mRNA Vaccine Shedding: Internal Transcriptional Dissemination and Potential Human-to-Human Transfer” identifies two distinct forms of mRNA vaccine shedding: internal transcriptional spread and potential human-to-human transfer.

Regarding human-to-human shedding, the authors note that vaccine-derived spike protein and mRNA have been detected within circulating exosomes. Because exosomes are present in bodily secretions such as breast milk, saliva, exhaled breath, and sweat, the researchers suggest a biological basis for potential transfer between individuals. While vaccine materials have been detected in human breast milk, the authors state that direct testing for vaccine materials in saliva, breath, or sweat has not yet been conducted.

Regarding transcriptional shedding, the paper describes how vaccine-induced spike proteins can be fragmented and transported throughout the body via exosomes. The researchers identify two mechanisms for this internal spread: cell division (mitosis), where daughter cells may inherit vaccine-derived materials, and cell-to-cell spread, where exosomes transport materials to distant cells that did not receive the vaccine directly.
