Thank you for writing this series! My wife and I are unvaccinated and we both experienced reactions to being around vaccinated people. We also know of at least six other unvaccinated people who had shedding reactions.

Thank you for writing this series! My wife and I are unvaccinated and we both experienced reactions to being around vaccinated people. We also know of at least six other unvaccinated people who had shedding reactions.
Here are my wife's descriptions of each person's story:
1. I was paying attention to the deluge of women sharing their shedding reactions (many reproductive and menstrual in nature) via Instagram stories and posts throughout early 2021. I already deal with chronic health issues, including menstrual issues, so I resolved to avoid all contact with vaccinated people and the general public for as long as possible. My husband and I were out on a hike in late September 2021, and we happened upon a woman who was hiking alone and had been frightened by a pack of javelinas on the trail. She asked if we would walk with her back to the parking area, which was not too far. We agreed since we didn't know what else to do, although I felt uneasy about it since it went against my policy of avoiding people to protect my health. We ended up talking to her for a while once we got back to the cars, and it turned out that she was a traveling nurse and had reluctantly taken the vaccines for her next assignment. I had already been trying to keep my distance from her, but at this point I excused myself and got in the car, wondering what damage had been done. Within a day or two, strange dark bluish purple marks appeared on my upper arms. I would call them bruises, but they didn't hurt, and I've never had a bruise or any other mark on my body that has ever looked like these marks before this occasion or since. These marks stayed on my arms for months, eventually fading to green then yellow then just a faint hint of gray. It took over a year before they were fully gone. I have photos. I looked up what they could have been, and I believe they were purpura, bleeding under the skin without injury. This reaction occurred after perhaps 20 minutes of outdoor conversation.
2. In August 2021, my husband went to a family funeral and spent a lot of time interacting with many family members. He didn't want to be rude and ask people their vaccination status, but he did hear a cousin mention proudly that he and his kids had been vaccinated. When my husband left a couple days later, he was developing respiratory symptoms. We live an anti-viral lifestyle and know how to get these things under control with zinc shock therapy, vitamin C, thyme tea, raw garlic, raw honey, and other immune boosting tools, so he began implementing these measures and was fine within a day. However, dark bluish purple marks appeared on his arms a day later. Again, they were not bruises, they did not hurt, and we have never seen any mark on his body like that before or since. They looked almost identical to the ones I would experience, although his faded within a couple of months. We have photos.
3. Our friend, Tess, is unvaccinated and has a history of severe chronic illness which she has under control with diet, supplementation, and lifestyle choices. Her cousin came to visit in the spring of 2021. They were sitting in her living room talking for less than an hour when Tess started to feel very ill. She asked her cousin if he had been vaccinated. He said yes, recently. She tried to keep talking with him, but her body started to shut down. All of her old symptoms were returning, extreme pain, vertigo, fatigue, etc. All she could do was lie down. Her cousin left. As soon as he left the house, her symptoms started to subside and she was feeling completely normal again within an hour.
4. Our friend, Kate, is unvaccinated. She loves to dance and goes to public dances multiple times a week. She knew about the shedding, but decided dancing was more important to her than avoiding vaccinated people. Her periods had always been short, light, and regular, with a small amount of bleeding/spotting for only a couple days a month. Starting in the spring of 2021, her periods became extremely heavy with clotting and were lasting 10 days to a couple weeks with only a few days to a week without bleeding in between. She is still dealing with some of these issues 2.5 years later. Late in 2021, Kate had a vaccinated person stay in her house for a few days and Kate caught Covid within a day or two even though her guest showed no symptoms.
5. Our friend, Laura, is unvaccinated and has chronic health issues. In 2021, she also had an asymptomatic vaccinated person stay in her house. Laura developed Covid symptoms (severe respiratory issues, loss of smell, etc.) the next day and was sick for a month.
6. Our friend, Marta, is unvaccinated. In 2021, she had a massage from an asymptomatic vaccinated person and Marta developed respiratory symptoms within a few hours, which took several days to clear. She also developed large dark bluish purple spots all over her thighs, which again looked like bruising but were not painful and not from injury. I believe this is another example of purpura.
7. Marta's daughter, Freya, was 11 in 2021. Freya took a bath with her cousin (also 11) who had recently been vaccinated. Later that day, Freya had her friend, Ashley (also 11) over to play. That night, Freya started her period for the first time. Ashley's mom texted Marta the next day to say that Ashley had started her period for the first time. Ashley's mom thought it was a sweet coincidence that both girls would start their periods on the same night. Marta confided in me that she didn't believe it was a coincidence at all and that Freya's cousin had also just started her period after being vaccinated. Girls don't typically "catch" periods from each other...
8. Our friend, Zara, is unvaccinated and lives with her family. All of the family members went out and got their vaccines together. When they got home, Zara felt respiratory symptoms begin immediately. She was sick for a few weeks and believes it was Covid.
