That's gibberish.
https://www.factcheck.org/2023/10/scicheck-covid-1...This family of claims was originally inspired by a preprint posted in April, which said there was “DNA contamination that exceeds” the EMA and FDA regulatory limits in Moderna and Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine vials sent anonymously to the authors in the mail without cold packs. This led to other reports of DNA in mRNA vaccine vials, including a second preprint that analyzed largely expired vaccine vials obtained at pharmacies in Canada. None of this work has been published in peer-reviewed journals, and many elements of it have been criticized.
We reached out to Kevin McKernan, an author on both preprints, to better understand his views. Rather than replying to our email, he posted a screenshot of it on X, formerly known as Twitter, and included responses there. McKernan, who has an undergraduate degree in biology, is the founder of Medicinal Genomics, a company that markets test kits and genomics-related services to the cannabis, hemp and mushroom industries.The mechanism would be
“Even if it enters the nucleus, which it probably can’t, it would still have to be integrated into DNA, which requires an integrase, which it also doesn’t have,” Offit said. An integrase is an enzyme some viruses use to insert themselves into cellular DNA.
In the event that some residual DNA did manage to insert into a person’s DNA, it would need to be exactly the wrong kind of DNA, land in exactly the wrong place or a combination of the two.I left out multiple other levels, both at the production, cellular resonse, and immune response levels. Scientists are at a disadvantage against liars and con-artists, because they speak scientifically instead of persuasively. This is bloody impossible. It is much more likely you can alter your DNA eating a hamburger or steak
https://pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acscentsci.2c0124...The consumption of foods prepared at high temperatures has been associated with numerous health risks. To date, the chief identified source of risk has been small molecules produced in trace levels by cooking and reacting with healthy DNA upon consumption. Here, we considered whether the DNA in food itself also presents a hazard. We hypothesize that high-temperature cooking may cause significant damage to the DNA in food, and this damage might find its way into cellular DNA by metabolic salvage.This is actually well known and supported by data, by the way -
https://www.uclahealth.org/news/grilling-meat-rais...Ultimately, I always strongly encourage vaccine skeptics to not take vaccines. I believe the planet is suffering from overpopulation, and that humans do not face enough selection pressure due to bad judgement or lack of intelligence. We have very few mechanisms to overcome this, but voluntarily not taking vaccines helps in both cases.
No position in Pfizer.
