From: R. Kingi <[FOI #25176 email]>;

Subject: Official Information request - Risk assessment of amyloidogenic
segments by way of transfection

Dear Ministry of Health,

Several papers have been published on amyloidogenic or prionergic segments
of the sars-cov2 spike protein (e.g. "Amyloidogenesis of SARS-CoV-2 Spike
Protein", J. Am. Chem. Soc., 2022, 144, 20, 8945–8950,
[5]https://aus01.safelinks.protection.outlo...).
These epitopes also occur as a consequence of the expression the pfizer
injectable products, such as bnt162b2.

Of note is that the spike from expression of the pfizer injectable can be
detected in some individuals for quite some time (see "Detection of
recombinant Spike protein in the blood of individuals vaccinated against
SARS-CoV-2: Possible molecular mechanisms",
ProteomicsClin.Appl.2023;17:2300048,
[6]https://aus01.safelinks.protection.outlo...)

Given that, I request any internal reports, notes, communications or risk
assessments related to the expression of these amyloidogenic or prionergic
segments by way of commercial product, such as bnt162b2. 

Yours faithfully,

R. Kingi
