Are spike proteins from COVID-19 vaccines being shed from vaccinated children and infecting unvaccinated ones?

Ed Payne, Lead Stories

no

There's an article on the website of the Home Vaccine Education Network that's looking for participants to take part in a "Citizen's Study" on newly vaccinated children.

The article says the group is concerned because there will be many 5- to 11-year-olds sitting in classrooms, some vaccinated and some not.

However, there is no publicly available evidence the Pfizer mRNA COVID-19 vaccine causes vaccinated persons to cast off excess spike proteins. 

The vaccines teach the body to make the distinctive spike proteins, which the immune system then attacks, preparing itself to ward off COVID-19 if the person is exposed. The mRNA can only enter the body through a dose given by injection; it can't be passed between people. The shots are not infectious.
