COVID19

January, 2022

Highlights

• mRNA vaccines promote sustained synthesis of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein.

• The spike protein is neurotoxic, and it impairs DNA repair mechanisms.

• Suppression of type I interferon responses results in impaired innate immunity.

• The mRNA vaccines potentially cause increased risk to infectious diseases and cancer.

• Codon optimization results in G-rich mRNA that has unpredictable complex effects.

Highlights

• Vaccination confers broader IgG binding of variant RBDs than SARS-CoV-2 infection

• Imprinting from initial antigen exposures alters IgG responses to viral variants

• Histology of mRNA vaccinee lymph nodes shows abundant germinal centers

• Vaccine spike antigen and mRNA persist for weeks in lymph node germinal centers

Key Points

Question: Does prior mRNA-1273 vaccination influence anti-nucleocapsid antibody seroconversion and/or seroreversion after SARS-CoV-2 infection?

Background

Associations between vitamin D (VD) deficiency and the risk of SARS-CoV-2 infection have been documented in cross-sectional population studies. Intervention studies in patients with moderate to severe COVID-19 have failed to consistently document a beneficial effect.

Objective

To determine the efficacy and safety of VD-supplementation in the prevention of SARS-CoV-2 infection in highly exposed individuals.
