This study looked at #breastmilk after #CovidVaccination in 11 people.

👉🏻 mRNA detectable in whole milk of 3 of them

👉🏻 Maximum concentration 0.1 parts per billion

👉🏻 This is roughly equivalent to a single tear in an Olympic pool

The findings are roughly in line with two previous studies which concentrated breast milk in order to detect very low quantities of vaccine mRNA (in fact, this one finds a little less). Low et al... 2/

😱😱😱War Room and Daily Clout teamed up to report on the Pfizer docs and the data is horrifying 1/🧵⬇️

Pfizer and FDA KNEW BY DEC 2020 the shots waned, there was “vax failure” & “covid” was an effect.

In May 2021 Pfizer knew about the heart damage in kids & FDA rolled out the EUA anyway. Parents weren’t made aware til August.
2/🧵⬇️

Pfizer & FDA KNEW MRNA, spike & nanoparticles didn’t stay at the injection site, instead traveling to the bloodstream & to liver, spleen, adrenals, lymph nodes & ovaries.

📢New paper out in @mSystemsJ, coauthored w/ the amazing @MeghanAzad!
Inspired by community #ecology theory and computational #microbiome methods, we propose a novel strategy for studying #humanmilk.

journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/ms…

We focused on 3 major barriers to understanding #breastmilk
1⃣Milk contains thousands of components, yet most studies analyze just one or a few
2⃣Milk changes over time, yet longitudinal studies are rare
3⃣We lack computational tools & methods to study milk as a complex SYSTEM

From a #DataScience perspective, to study complex biological processes such as #humanmilk and lactation, it is essential to take an integrative and ‘multi-layer’ approach.

📣New paper out in @mSystemsJ, coauthored w/ the fabulous @LiatShenhav!
In this review, we apply our (very!) different skillsets to propose a new strategy for studying #humanmilk as a biological system, using methods developed for #microbiome research.

1/ #Breastmilk feeding practices associated w/ co-occurrence of #microbiota in mothers’ milk & infant gut

2/ In the @CHILDStudy, infant gut #microbiome composition was associated with #breastfeeding exclusivity and duration, but not feeding mode (pumping vs. nursing at the breast)
