German man defies odds and recommendations with 217 Covid vaccines

GERMANY (TND) — At the height of Covid, it seemed hard enough to convince one person to get the vaccine but one man in Germany went above and beyond -- getting 217 shots.

The strange case was documented in The Last Infectious Disease journal and states that the shots were bought and given privately within 29 months.

The man is described as a 62-year-old hypervaccinated male from Magdeburg, Germany who went outside of a clinical study and against national vaccination recommendations.

His unique case came to the attention of researchers when German prosecutors opened up a fraud investigation after he obtained 130 coronavirus shots in nine months. No charges were filed.

After the man agreed to provide blood and saliva samples they reported the man did not experience any vaccination-related side effects.

Going into the study, researchers assumed that having so many shots would cause his immunity system to become fatigued.

In fact, it was discovered the man had more of the immune cells, also known as T-cells, than a control group that received the standard three-dose vaccine regimen.

By the 217th shot, researchers said the man's antibodies against the coronavirus "increased significantly as a result."

Researchers made it clear by the end of the study that they do not recommend hypervaccination.

"While we found no signs of coronavirus breakthrough infections in HIM to date, it cannot be clarified whether this is casually related to the hypervacciantion regimen. Importantly, we do not endorse hypervaccination as a strategy to enhance adaptive immunity."
