The mRNA COVID-19 vaccines can ‘reprogram’ children’s immune systems for up to six months after vaccination, impacting the body’s ability to counteract other pathogens, according to a new study published in the renowned Frontiers in Immunology.
The study, to which a total of ten academics and professors contributed, took samples of a blood stimulation assay from 29 children aged between five and 11, which were taken 28 days after the second vaccine and then again six months later.
The researchers found that the mRNA vaccines altered cytokine (small proteins controlling the growth and activity of immune and blood cells) responses in the body, “particularly one month after vaccination.”
“Our results add to the evolving evidence that SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccination reprograms both adaptive and innate immune responses,” the researchers claim upon publication of the results.
The results emphasize “the need for further research and consideration of heterologous effects in vaccination policies given their broad public health implications,” the researchers added.
The COVID-19 vaccines have been linked with a number of other adverse reactions, such as Leprosy, menstrual disturbances, myocarditis, and even untreatable eyeball clots.
