The researchers said they wanted to study his body’s response to the vaccines and determine the consequences of hypervaccination, as repeatedly exposing the body to a specific antigen can weaken the immune response.
They studied saliva and blood samples of the “hypervaccinated” man and ultimately found that he “did not report any vaccination-related side effects.”
Prosecutors from Magdeburg were able to collect evidence for 130 vaccinations, administered over the span of nine months, and opened an investigation over an allegation of fraud. But ultimately, no criminal charges were filed.
While the German man did not experience side effects, researchers made it clear that they “do not endorse hypervaccination as a strategy to enhance adaptive immunity.”
“Current research indicates that a three dose vaccination, coupled with regular top-up vaccines for vulnerable groups, remains the favored approach,” said Kilian Schober, a microbiologist from the university. “There is no indication that more vaccines are required.”
A POLITICO analysis late last year found that more than 200 million doses of Covid-19 vaccines purchased by EU countries have been thrown away, at an estimated cost to the taxpayer of €4 billion.
