Oh man...When did ResearchGate implement an Open-Door policy for crackpots?

Yes Irucka Embry you ask a serious question.

A number of the COVID-19 vaccines have had production and stability problems.

See this work on protein contaminated AstraZeneca

Moderna batches have been withdrawn in recent days

The substance "PEG" used in some vaccines is highly variable in composition (chain length) and its degradation products are toxic.

Separating real science from social media reports can be difficult.

Why are there so many crackpots and anti-vaxxers on RG?

Dr. Pain: "See this work on protein contaminated AstraZeneca https://www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-440461/v1"

On the first page of the link:

Research Square does not conduct peer review prior to posting preprints. The posting of a preprint on this server should not be interpreted as an endorsement of its validity or suitability for dissemination as established information or for guiding clinical practice.

*womp, busted

Dr Pain: "The substance "PEG" used in some vaccines is highly variable in composition and its degradation products are toxic."

For the chemistry educationally challenged like Dr. Pain: "the substance PEG" is poyethylene glycol and it is used in hundreds of products that we ingest every day and humans do not have the enzymes that can degrade it. Look it up on the FDA website.

Dr Pain: "Separating real science from social media reports can be difficult."

It is not difficult. We can smell somebody with an agenda pretending to know science and biochemistry a mile away, and Dr Pain, you really stink.

I would love to read factual rebuttals from Frank and Diana who upvoted Dr. Pain's nonsense.

Hello @Diana Starja (researchgate.net) and @Frank T. Edelmann (researchgate.net)

Where are you?

Geoff Pain Thank you for answering the question and for providing the useful resources.

I am enclosing an update from Reuters on the possible contamination of Moderna's vaccines in Japan:

Japan finds another Moderna vial suspected to contain foreign substance, September 1, 2021

Below are the abstracts of 2 articles regarding the PEG antibodies:

Antibodies against polyethylene glycol in healthy subjects and in patients treated with PEG-conjugated agents

Here is an article from May 2021 about contaminant concerns in the USA:

100 Million Vaccine Doses Held Up Over Contamination Concerns, Firm Reveals: Executives from Emergent, which ruined millions of coronavirus vaccine doses, divulged to Congress the scope of the regulatory review of its troubled Baltimore plant.

Although the following news brief is about the CDC test kits, it is useful to have here to show a pattern of product contamination throughout the whole Fakedemic (as no Pandemic and/or Epidemic actually exists):
