Don't believe my explanation. Believe his. He is more-or-less correct when he describes how mRNA vaccines work and the advantages they have over the old fashioned vaccines based on live, attenuated virus. He explains that no whole virus is used. He explains that mRNA is taken up by ribosomes which manufacture antigen. He says there is no actual virus associated with the mRNA vaccine. Therefore "vax shedding" is completely impossible with mRNA vaccines. He obviously knows that. Why does he not say that? I suspect because he is focused on winding-up a very specific audience.


BTW. There have been some tragic deaths caused by "vax shedding" from the polio vaccination. The polio vaccine has made a fantastic contribution to human health and we are on the brink of completely eliminating the disease through vaccination, but the risks are not quite zero. mRNA vaccines eliminate that category of risks.
