Introduction The rapid development and deployment of COVID-19 vaccines have been monumental in combating the global pandemic, saving countless lives and enabling societies to regain a sense of normalcy. Central to the efficacy of many of these vaccines, particularly mRNA and viral vector-based ones, is the spike protein—a key component of the SARS-CoV-2 virus that facilitates its entry into human cells. By instructing the body to produce a version of this protein, vaccines train the immune system to recognize and neutralize the virus without causing illness. However, as vaccination campaigns expanded, so did public curiosity and concern about the spike protein's role, fueled by a mix of scientific complexity, misinformation, and distrust. For years, the public was told that COVID-19 mRNA vaccine components degraded rapidly—within days to weeks.
