A 62-year-old man from Magdeburg, Germany who reportedly received 217 Covid vaccination shots over 29 months starting in June 2021 shows no signs of any adverse effects even though he received an extreme dose, CNN reports.
Medical researchers contacted the man after reading about his legal difficulties: local prosecutors investigated him for suspicion of fraudulently obtaining vaccination certifications, but decided to not press charges after confirming the man had received 134 doses; he self-reported another 83. The study does not address the reason the man received so many vaccinations.
At times, the man traveled to get vaccinations–one every four days on average–after local clinics barred him; one threatened to call police if he returned after being spotted on site. He did not test positive for the virus from May 2022 to November 2023, but the senior researcher does not believe that had to do with his hyper-dosage: “The benefit is not much bigger if you get vaccinated three times or 200 times.”
