Reports indicate that people today, 5 years after they've been vaccinated, are still producing spike proteins.

Previously: Reports indicate that people today, 5 years after they've been vaccinated, are still producing spike proteins. [Distorted]: Joe Rogan raises this. There are a few reports of vaccine spike protein lasting a long time, but the main one McCullough cites is a single-patient case report from his own group, which found spike protein up to about 3.5 years after vaccination, not 5. Other reports are small studies or preprints, and the authors themselves say controlled studies are needed to know whether this happens widely. This would be wrong if a published study documented vaccine-made spike protein in people five years after vaccination.

Now: Reports indicate that people today, 5 years after they've been vaccinated, are still producing spike proteins. [Unverified]: Rogan raises a report of five-year spike production. McCullough instead describes a 3.5-year patient report. A paper with that 3.5-year title exists, but this review did not verify a five-year result or independently validate its assays. Persistent antibody levels are not themselves evidence of continuing vaccine mRNA translation.

An unverified duration and mechanism need an unresolved label, not a stronger inference from a different duration.
