How long will your body produce modified spike protein after the COVID jab? That's been a question people have been asking ever since the rollout of the first mRNA shots. A paper published in the Proteomics Clinical Applications journal in mid-August 20231 tried to answer that question, and it's not great news, as the answer, for some people, as we said long before the jab was released, could be "indefinitely." What we can say for sure is that spike is being produced for far longer than "experts" initially believed. Fact Versus Fiction The idea behind the mRNA jabs was that the modified RNA would trigger temporary production of a spike protein similar to that of the wild-type SARS-CoV-2 spike to induce antibodies. We were told that mRNA is fragile and doesn't last long, which is true of natural mRNA. The mRNA in the shots, however, has been modified to resist degradation. As explained in a mid-August 2023 Proteomics Clinical Applications paper,2 the reco
