Twitter's not a great medium for discussion such things, but I would just say, I was delighted by the science behind the mRNA vaccines, and despite having the same S-protein concerns, after thorough research I happily went and got the Pfizer shots.

Looking at the paper, most of the results look like they would be in line with that expectation, except for a few of the patients who look like they have almost infection-like S1 levels. It would be nice to hear an expert analyze this.

Spike proteins produced by mRNA shots do get released into the bloodstream when T-cells kill the cell, and the Novavax shot injects the spike itself.

By my layman understanding, any RNA does produce only limited amount of proteins (has built-in counter by shortening it with every production). So amount of S protein produced by shot should be orders below what real virus does. Even if everything else about shot would go wrong.

WRT to OP, this doesn't mean much. And I have no idea how much S protein is too much WRT to reproduction. But to benefit from not taking shot you must play it super safe and not catch the actual thing. I can see this game to be viable for some months or years, but not decade+.
