Jul 1, 2021 · According to a statement sent to FactCheck.org by NIAID, if “enough excess spike proteins are shed into the bloodstream and bind to human cells expressing the ACE2 receptor, an infected...
May 11, 2021 · Yet several online posts falsely claim that vaccinated people are “shedding” the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, which is what the virus uses to enters cells, through their “...
