New study shows that the mRNA vaccine crosses the placenta and passes on to the fetus - steigan.no

A study titled “mRNA-1273 is Placenta-permeable and Immunogenic in the Fetus” published by Taiwanese researchers demonstrates that synthetic spike protein and polyethylene glycol (PEG) from mRNA-1273 (Moderna) given to pregnant mice at doses relatively similar to those given to humans cross the placenta and are transferred to the fetus. In the study, pregnant mice were given mRNA-1273 intramuscularly. The vaccine was rapidly absorbed into the ma…
