DNA Contaminants In COVID Vaccines Are 'Beyond The Pale': Florida Surgeon General
2024-01-18
[ET via ZERO] On the Jan. 12 episode of EpochTV’s "American Thought Leaders," Dr. Joseph Ladapo explained why he called for a halt, saying that while there are also safety concerns with the COVID mRNA vaccines linking them to a multitude of adverse events, the recent discovery is "beyond the pale."

"DNA is a common contaminant of many biological products," he told the show’s host, Jan Jekielek. "We can use DNA to produce different drugs like insulin, other biologics—and that’s a wonderful innovation, and normally, that DNA doesn’t pose a problem."

Human cells are resistant to DNA entry, and this prevents harming the integrity of the cell’s DNA.

However, since the mRNA vaccines use lipid nanoparticles, which deliver mRNA into the cells directly, DNA contaminants could also be able to enter the cells. Some scientists, like Dr. Ladapo, are concerned that the DNA from the vaccine may integrate with the human genome.

Prominent officials at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) disagree.

On Dec. 6, Dr. Ladapo sent a letter to FDA commissioner Dr. Robert Califf and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) director, Dr. Mandy Cohen.

In his letter, he asked if there have been risk assessments of the vaccine DNA integrating into human DNA, especially regarding the controversial SV40 promoter/enhancer region found in Pfizer’s vaccine.

Other questions included whether risk assessments have been done on DNA integration in reproductive cells and if the current levels of DNA residuals are acceptable under the FDA’s standards.

Dr. Peter Marks, director of the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, replied to Dr. Ladapo on Dec. 14.

#11  Instruct me, please, Walking Unvaxxed. How am I wrong? I know you have been paying attention to this issue.

My experience in this case is working with factories — I was on several product development teams that were subsequently involved in getting production started in the factories. So I wasn’t a line worker or a production manager, but I had to learn what to plan for to avoid the kinds of stories that are told as awful lessons for years afterwards.

I also heard some of the stories Mr. Wife and his colleagues told about the projects and factories they were working with/on. Mr. Wife told about this one supplier’s factory in Egypt... The Third World really has a different mindset.

#10  ^ Yeah, wrong, wrong, wrong. Triply wrong! Q.E.D.

#9  Nope, you are wrong TW.

#8  How the f*ck they managed to contaminate them - as I understand the tech: the vaccine is produced by amplifying mRNA in vitro?

* Contaminated RNA samples
* Contaminated base in which RNA was amplified
* Manufacturing facility insufficiently cleaned and sanitized between batches
* China dunnit, whether accidentally or deliberately, and covered it up

There have been several Covid vaccine recalls for contamination — at least one was for solids in the vials that was traced to a contractor factory. Unfortunately, factories are not as persnickety as laboratories, though in general they do their best. And once standards and key tests are established, factories do not test their raw materials as carefully, trusting the suppliers to be honourable and trusting that doing the few key tests is all that’s needed.

Don't tell him.
Let Professor (r)eflective figure it out on his own.

#5  /\ Sounds rather bizarre. Will these monkey-humans, still shop at wet markets ?

Probably an inappropriate, 'Donner Pass' sort of question I suppose.

#3  #1 Maybe it's the (secret) staff that makes the cells incorporate foreign mRNA without breaking it down first.
