German man vaccinated for coronavirus 217 times reports no side effects: Scientists
Who hasn't felt a twinge of apprehension before getting their COVID-19 vaccine? The fear of needles or the worry about potential side effects is something many of us can relate to. But imagine a man who not only overcame these fears but went on to get vaccinated a staggering 217 times. In a surprising discovery, researchers found that a 62-year-old German man willingly got 217 doses of different COVID-19 vaccines. Despite concerns about too many vaccines, he didn't experience any reported side effects.
Initially, people thought he was collecting vaccine cards for bad reasons, but later investigations showed he genuinely got all those shots over 29 months.
