Fact Check: Pfizer Confirms Covid-Vaccinated People Can “Shed” Spike Protein and Can Harm the Unvaccinated (Debunked!)

A member of the SuscipeDomine forum (link to post) repeated a claim that:

 Pfizer Confirms Covid-Vaccinated People Can “Shed” Spike Protein and Can Harm the Unvaccinated October 4, 2021 https://www.algora.com/Algora_blog/2021/10/04/pfizer-confirms-covid-vaccinated-people-can-shed-spike-protein-and-can-harm-the-unvaccinated

I really like claims like this because they are relatively easy to fact-check.  First, the document that was tweeted was a small section of the clinical trial protocol, that can be found here: https://cdn.pfizer.com/pfizercom/2020-11/C4591001_Clinical_Protocol_Nov2020.pdf.  The title for section 8 includes Study Assessments and Procedure and the quotation was from section 8.3.5 starting on page 67.

I noticed that everything in that section is centred around the "Study Intervention".  After some review the "study intervention" is the shot that was provided.  Given this is a blinded clinical trial, that two shots contained either the vaccine (dose #1 & #2) or Saline Placebo.


So looking at the section intro section we read:
Exposure to the study intervention under study during pregnancy or breastfeeding and occupational exposure are reportable to Pfizer Safety within 24 hours of investigator awareness.

First observation: This is contact with the vaccine or placebo and says nothing about 'shedding' spike protein.

Second observation: No where does it support the claim that exposure to either the vaccine or placebo harms the unvaccinated.

Third observation: Environmental exposure by inhalation or skin contact is not by 'shedding'
Examples:
  1. I am a male healthcare provider and a vial of vaccine or placebo spills on my pant leg.  My wife / mom / sister could come into contact with the vaccine  or placebo by either skin contact or inhalation.
  2. I am a female healthcare provider and a vial of vaccine  or placebo spills on my pant leg or I inhale some of the fumes from the vials (they're kept really cold and there would be off gassing when warming).
  3. I am a male healthcare provider and a vial of vaccine  or placebo spills on my pant leg.  My wife and I have intercourse.  It is considered an exposure.
These are reportable events and are included in the protocol for are reason. The vaccine at that point is being tested for adverse reactions and they need to keep tabs on everyone who is exposed. Also to maintain the double blind status they have the same requirements for both situations (vaccine vs placebo).

The last part is occupational exposure and it focused on direct contact with the 'study intervention'.

Quote
8.3.5.3. Occupational Exposure: An occupational exposure occurs when a person receives unplanned direct contact with the study intervention, which may or may not lead to the occurrence of an AE.
So nope the actual document doesn't support the claim that:
Covid-Vaccinated People Can “Shed” Spike Protein and Can Harm the Unvaccinated

It is talking about contact with either the vaccine or placebo and does not mention harm anywhere in that section.
 
This conspiracy theory is debunked - - - but people will believe what they want to believe even if the facts don't support it.

Rome,the SSPX and this time of Crisis - Updated

By
+ JMJ Obviously there's lots of events right now. First we have the April 1st - I almost thought it was April Fools - meeting between Pope Francis and Bishop Fellay.  Nothing really news worthy as this is a natural progression as Rome appears to be considering fulfilling Archbishop Lefebvre's wish to 'accept us as we are'. Second we have the April 8th publication of what will be a verbose exhortation of the Synod of the Family. I'm willing to bet that the Pope will give with one hand (unilateral regularization of SSPX) and take with the other (ambiguous document that opens the flood gates of sin further). Much to pray for.

The Vatican and SSPX – An Organizational Culture Perspective

By
Introduction The recent and continuing interactions between the Vatican and the SSPX have been a great opportunity for prayer and reflection.  The basis for the disagreement is theological and not liturgical. As noted by Dr. Lamont (2012), the SSPX theological position on the four key controversial aspects of the Second Vatican Council are base on prior theological work that resulted from relevant magisterial pronouncements.  So it is difficult to understand the apparent rejection of the theological position of the SSPX.

A Reply to Martin Blackshaw’s FLAWED Remnant article titled: FLAWED: SSPX Advice on Abortion-tainted Vaccines

By
 + JMJ    An article has appeared in the Remnant (link to article) and I am afraid that there are a number of flaws in it that need to be addressed. The author, Martin Blackshaw, believes that both the Church and the SSPX are misapplying the principle of Moral Theology called 'Cooperation In Evil'.  Unfortunately, Mr. Blackshaw rests most of his arguments on citing authors that support his position, without considering the possibility that they are wrong. This highlights a key factor in this crisis: ignorance of the faith and its application . I don't am not singling out Mr. Blackshaw for this criticism, I have observed that it applies to laity and religious, superior and subject a like.  No one seems immune in this enduring crisis, myself included.  I further believe that this ignorance is why so many Catholics, both traditional and non, rely on their gut feeling or "Catholic conscience" for charting their way through this crisis of the faith.  While...

Battle Joy

By
+ JMJ I was listening to a Cd of John Vennari on Battle Joy ( Recapture the Flag: Dedication and Battle Joy - by John Vennari ) and it really captures a key point that Catholics (Traditional and otherwise labelled) need to adopt. We should see this conflict as a chance to prove our mettle for our King and to earn our unending reward.  As veterans we'll be able to talk about the old battles in which we fought and the honour we gained in fighting for our King! Attached is a preview of course that, although secular, contains some of the elements of Battle Joy. P^3 https://www.coursera.org/learn/war/lecture/VDwfk/the-joy-of-battle

SSPX and the Resistance - A Comparison Of Ecclesiology

By
Shining the light of Church Teaching on the doctrinal positions of the SSPX and the Resistance. Principles are guides used to aid in decision making.  It stands to reason that bad principles will lead to bad decisions. The recent interactions between Rome and the SSPX has challenged a number of closely held cultural assumptions of people in both sides of the disagreement. This has resulted in cultural skirmishes in both Rome and the SSPX. Since it is the smaller of the two, the skirmishes have been more evident within the SSPX.  The cultural fault-line that Bishop Fellay crossed appears to be linked to two points of Catholic Doctrine: Ecclesiology and Obedience.  The cultural difference of view points is strong enough that it has resulted in the expulsion of a number of members.  It should also be noted that some other priests expelled since the beginning of the latest interactions (starting in 2000) held the same view points and have joined with the l...
