No less than 217 doses of COVID vaccine: A German man deliberately received this record number of injections and showed no side effects, according to researchers who studied the case of this human probably ” the most vaccinated in history.”

The immune system of this 62-year-old German, originally from the city of Magdeburg and whose x27;identity was not revealed, also works perfectly, scientists from the Friedrich-Alexander Universities of Erlangen-Nuremberg and Erlangen observed in a study published in the journal The Lancet Infectious Diseases(New window) (in English).

The researchers explained that they had heard about of his case thanks to press articles in 2022.

In 2022, the German press mentioned the case of a sixty-year-old from Magdeburg suspected to have accumulated nearly 90 anti-COVID vaccinations to collect the associated certificates and resell them to refractory parties.

A judicial investigation was opened against this man for allegations of fraud, but no criminal action was taken until 27 ;so, according to the study.

The prosecution collected evidence of 130 vaccinations over 9 months, but the person claimed to have received 217 injections of eight different anti-COVID vaccines, including all mRNA versions, over 29 months.

When he was contacted by scientists, curious about this extremely rare hypervaccination, the man showed himself very interested in the idea of ​​shedding light on them by means of blood and saliva analyzes , explained Kilian Schober, virologist at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg and co-author of the study, in a press release.

According to some scientific theories, excess vaccinations make immune cells less effective, because they have become accustomed to the antibodies.

This was not the case for this German, according to the researchers.

He even had considerably higher concentrations of immune cells and antibodies against the COVID virus than a control group of three people who received three recommended doses, according to the study.

No signs of fatigue and no side effects were experienced by this German after any of the 217 injections.

In this man who never tested positive for COVID, scientists did not find traces of past infection with the virus.

The authors of the study, however, emphasize that they do not approve of hypervaccination, and urge us not to extrapolate this singular case.

Caitjan Gainty, a specialist in the history of vaccines at King's College London who was not involved in the study, told the study ;AFP have never heard of anyone having received more vaccines than this man.

Virologist at the AFP University of Tokyo, Spyros Lytras also judged that this is certainly the most vaccinated person reported to date and that such a case will not happen again soon.
