About That Lactating People's Milk Again

There is mRNA in it after all, at least for 48 hours post mRNA jab. But it's safe to ignore.

So, we were assured that there is no way the mRNA can get into lactating mother’s milk after an mRNA jab, e.g., Reuters reported on Jul. 19, 2021 “No trace of mRNA vaccine found in breast milk…”:

The immune system then learns to recognize the spike and produce antibodies to attack it, while the messenger RNA quickly breaks down into inert pieces. While these beneficial antibodies may pass from mothers to infants via breast milk, the milk does not contain the mRNA itself, researchers found in their analyses of 13 breast milk samples from seven vaccinated women.

Although if one were to have the impertinence to read the study itself, one would learn that breast milk at multiple time points have been analysed only for ONE participant (at some intervals between 4 and 48 hours), the rest were self-collecting participants with milk then frozen (to what temperature?) and analysed after some unknown time. With this study design, the authors were happy to reveal that none of the samples showed detectable levels of vaccine mRNA in any component of the milk:

A total of 7 breastfeeding mothers (mean [SD] age, 37.8 [5.8] years) volunteered for this study (Table). Their children ranged in age from 1 month to 3 years. Postvaccination milk samples were collected 4 to 48 hours after administration of the BNT162b2 (n = 5) or mRNA-1273 (n = 2) vaccines. Analysis of 13 human milk samples collected 24 hours after vaccination, including multiple time points (4 to 48 hours) from a single participant, revealed that none of the samples showed detectable levels of vaccine mRNA in any component of the milk.

You will also be glad to learn that the study sponsors included Fauci’s NIH, CDC Foundation, and Bill&Melinda Gates Foundation. No conflict of interest there for sure.

It took more than a year to do a more rigorous study in Israel, “Detection of Messenger RNA COVID-19 Vaccines in Human Breast Milk” (JAMA Pediatrics, 2022.09.26) to stun the medical world:

This cohort study included 11 healthy lactating individuals who received either the Moderna mRNA-1273 vaccine (n = 5) or the Pfizer BNT162b2 vaccine (n = 6) within 6 months after delivery (Table 1). Participants were asked to collect and immediately freeze EBM samples at home until transported to the laboratory. Samples of EBM were collected before vaccination (control) and for 5 days postvaccination. A total of 131 EBM samples were collected 1 hour to 5 days after vaccine administration. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) were isolated in EBM using sequential centrifugation, and the EV concentrations were determined by ZetaView (Analytik) (eMethods in the Supplement).

Of 11 lactating individuals enrolled, trace amounts of BNT162b2 and mRNA-1273 COVID-19 mRNA vaccines were detected in 7 samples from 5 different participants at various times up to 45 hours postvaccination (Table 2):

The mean (SD) yield of EVs isolated from EBM was 9.110 (5.010) particles/mL, and the mean (SD) particle size was 110.0 (3.0) nm. The vaccine mRNA appears in higher concentrations in the EVs than in whole milk (Table 2). No vaccine mRNA was detected in prevaccination or postvaccination EBM samples beyond 48 hours of collection.

We speculate that, following the vaccine administration, lipid nanoparticles containing the vaccine mRNA are carried to mammary glands via hematogenous and/or lymphatic routes. Furthermore, we speculate that vaccine mRNA released into mammary cell cytosol can be recruited into developing EVs that are later secreted in EBM.

Didn’t CDC tell us that there is no way for the mRNA to go anywhere beyond the distal lymph nodes and that the mRNA decomposes in 2 hours or so? But, not a biggie, nothing to worry about, at least for another year, and particularly beyond 48 hours after vaccination:

The sporadic presence and trace quantities of COVID-19 vaccine mRNA detected in EBM suggest that breastfeeding after COVID-19 mRNA vaccination is safe, particularly beyond 48 hours after vaccination.

So, don’t listen to the anti-vaxxers’ “we’ve told ya” — they are spreading disinformation and promoting vaccine hesitancy out of sheer malice.
