Is hidden DNA harming your health?

Another video purporting to debunk Dr. Paul Offit suggests that COVID mRNA vaccines contain hidden DNA fragments that could permanently change human genes, possibly causing cancer, autoimmune diseases, or other health problems.

Angus Dalgleish, who had a financial interest in a competing COVID vaccine while he was speaking out against mRNA vaccines, was citing bad science when claiming contamination of synthetic DNA that “presents risks of a genomic instability which can manifest as cancers, immune disorders, and hereditary diseases.”

Kevin McKernan, the person behind this attempted takedown of Dr. Offit, is known for publishing papers that claim to show DNA contamination in vaccines. His research was based on testing 24 unopened vials that had expired and three vials containing leftover vaccine that was still within its use date, which raises questions about the reliability of his findings.

The exported and improperly stored vaccines are a problem. Since mRNA breaks down or degrades much faster than DNA, the small amounts of DNA used in making the vaccine could become larger in proportion compared to the mRNA remaining. The DNA would be more noticeable, especially in expired vials or vials that weren’t stored correctly.

More importantly, mRNA and promoters cannot get into the nucleus of cells and cannot change DNA. mRNA is single-stranded and simply cannot integrate into double-stranded DNA. mRNA vaccines are not gene therapy.

There is also no evidence that COVID vaccines cause cancer. Some of the most powerful carcinogens can take years to manifest in the form of cancer. And while there has been an increase in early-onset cancers, this increase started in the early 1990s, well before the introduction of COVID vaccines.
