This 55-year-old patient underwent:
40+ emergency department visits
200+ specialist evaluations across 18 medical disciplines
100+ advanced laboratory investigations
100+ imaging and functional studies
Across multiple biospecimens (plasma, circulating exosomes, PBMCs, and skin tissue) and multiple independent laboratories, we detected:
Vaccine-derived spike mRNA sequences in circulating exosomes more than 3.5 years after the final injection
Plasmid DNA elements (including spike gene sequences, ori regions, and SV40 enhancer sequences) in skin tissue
Persistent spike protein in plasma, exosomes, monocyte subsets, and skin tissue. Here's the paper:
