Twitter locks account of the scientist who developed mRNA technology when he explained how vaccine shedding works: Luigi Warren, who was one of the first scientists to conceive of mRNA technology in vaccines, clarified on Twitter the basis for vaccine "shedding." "I believe the 'shedding' idea is that the vaccinated shed the spike protein, not the virus," he tweeted. "And it's certainly true that people vaccinated with mRNA vaccines do shed spike protein but in minuscule amounts that almost certainly can't cause disease/malaise in others." Twitter identified his tweet as having "violated Twitter rules." Although it is uncertain, he likely violated the platform's rules on misinformation about COVID-19. It appears he was locked out of his account for nearly six days.
