PARIS (AFP) – A German man who deliberately got vaccinated for COVID-19 a whopping 217 times did not report any side effects from his many jabs, according to researchers studying possibly the “most vaccinated person in history”.
The immune system of the 62-year-old man from the central German city of Magdeburg – who has not been named – is still firing on all cylinders, the researchers said in The Lancet Infectious Diseases journal.
They said the man voluntarily received so many shots against all medical advice, and warned against jumping to far-reaching conclusions from this single case.
The man first came to the attention of the German-led researchers due to news reports in 2022, when he had only received 90 jabs.
Media reports at the time said the man was suspected of getting so many doses to collect the completed vaccination cards, which could then be forged and sold to people who did not want to be vaccinated.
A public prosecutor in Magdeburg opened an investigation into allegations of fraud over the case but no criminal charges were filed, according to the scientific paper published earlier this week.
