A 62-year-old man from Germany was vaccinated against Covid-19 217 times, despite guidelines not allowing for such numerous vaccinations.

This was reported in a study by the health-focused publication, The Lancet.

The man himself bought the vaccines and was administered them over a period of 29 months, as reported by the BBC.

The research was conducted by scientists from the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, who found that despite the large number of vaccinations, examinations did not show any adverse effects from them.

Dr. Kilian Schober, one of the researchers, mentioned that they became aware of the man’s excessive vaccination through a German newspaper.

This prompted them to conduct a study on him and an investigation by the Criminal Police to confirm whether the vaccinations were actually administered, which turned out to be the case.

The researchers aimed to understand how the body’s immune system reacts when a person receives such a high number of vaccinations.

Covid-19 vaccines typically use mRNA technology, which involves introducing a virus-like agent into the body. This prompts the body to build up immunity against the disease, ensuring that if the virus were to infect the person, the body would be prepared to fight it off.

The researchers were initially concerned that the excessive number of vaccines might have overwhelmed the man’s immune system.

However, their study found no evidence that the man’s immune response was compromised by the numerous vaccinations.

Despite these findings, the researchers concluded that the best way to protect against Covid-19 is to receive three vaccinations, as this is sufficient for the body to develop necessary immunity.
