Detection of mRNA COVID-19 Vaccines in Human Breast Milk

Is this surprising? A lot of medicines pass to breast milk and are not recommended n that cases. I'm not sure if someone has tried with mRNA before.

Perhaps my English is bad, but IIUC the abstract makes the question if there is mRNA from the vaccine after 6 months, but it does not answer it. I can't find a good article about that https://www.google.com/search?q=mrna+vaccine+degradation+rat... but my guess is a few days. I'll be very surprised it survives a month inside the body.

Now I think I misunderstood this part. It's 6 months after "delivering" the children, not 6 months after "delivering" the vaccine.

It's surprising because at the time the mRNA vaccines were recommended to pregnant women (with next to zero testing), health authorities issued extensive assurances that the mRNA would remain localized to the injection site. Reuters even ran a fact-check article about it: https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/...

I guess the study was too small
