Human Albumin in Botox - is Bayer screening for liver tissue that hasn't had mRNA Covid vaccine?

Question

Is Bayer, who I believe supplies human albumin to Abbvie/Botox, screening donors for tissue from the liver that has NOT had the mRNA Covid vaccination? Some of us are highly allergic and prefer not to have the mRNA in our system. It doesn't matter if it's a small amount of albumin or not, albium does bind spiked protein.

Dear AngiBe thank you for your question.

The human albumin used in Botox is tested  for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and hepatitis B, and pasteurization of the albumin preparation. Therefore, the risk of transmitting viruses such as hepatitis A, B, and C, non-A non-B hepatitis (NANB), and HIV is considered extremely remote. However to my knowledge no mRNA test are made specifically for COVID.

I you wish to get botulinum toxin free of added proteins you can ask your practitioner to apply Xeomeen.
