Throughout the US government’s coerced mass vaccination campaign, which was always the endgame of the anti-science lockdown regime, the mainstream media’s faux “fact check” industry continuously claimed that it was scientifically impossible for mRNA from the COVID-19 vaccines to become integrated into human DNA.

Following the lead of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the media mindlessly regurgitated the argument that since the mRNA never enters the cell nucleus where the DNS resides, therefore it cannot possibly integrate into the host DNA.

That argument, however, was a non sequitur fallacy, as I pointed out in my September 2022 article “Can mRNA COVID-19 vaccines alter your DNA? Here’s what the CDC and ‘Fact-Checkers’ got wrong.

The conclusion does not follow from the premise because there is a known mechanism by which mRNA can be “reverse transcribed” into DNA, which foreign DNA can then potentially enter the cell nucleus and become integrated into the host DNA.

This helps to explain how it came to be that a significant proportion of our own human DNA is viral in origin.

The non sequitur fallacy was willful. It was a deliberately deceptive argument because those making it were hardly unaware of the phenomenon of reverse transcription.

To give you an indication of how well known this phenomenon is within the so-called “public health” establishment, the “PCR” tests used to perpetrate systematic scientific fraud in the counting of what they called “COVID-19 cases” work by reverse transcribing viral RNA present in a patient sample into DNA and then amplifying the DNA to a threshold of test positivity. (The reverse transcription part is right in the full name for the tests, “reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction assays”, or RT-qPCR.)

In February 2022, a lab study was published in Current Issues in Molecular Biology in which researchers demonstrated using a human liver cancer cell line that COVID-19 vaccine mRNA can be reverse transcribed into DNA. They did not investigate further to determine whether that DNA then can enter the cell nucleus and become incorporated into the host DNA, but the experiment illustrated the logical fallacy deliberately employed by the CDC et al. to deceive the public.

Accompanying that deception were “fact checker” claims that the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines are not a type of gene therapy.

At the same time, the “fact checkers” insisted that it was false to claim that the mRNA vaccines utilized a brand new technology.

The professional propagandists masquerading as science reporters seemed incognizant of how those two assertions contradicted each other: what they didn’t tell you was that the basis for their argument that the mRNA technology used for the vaccines was not new is that there had been decades of prior research into the use of mRNA products for gene therapy.

I explained in my article debunking the mainstream lies about the risk of genomic integration how the vaccines are a gene therapy technology, by definition. For more details about this, also see the review article “mRNA: Vaccine or Gene Therapy? The Safety Regulatory Issues“, published in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences in June 2023.

Last year, the discovery was made that reverse transcription of mRNA into DNA may not even be necessary for genetic material from Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine to become integrated into human DNA because the vaccine is contaminated with plasmid DNA from the manufacturing process.

This discovery was first made by genomics expert Kevin McKernan and as usual was poo-pooed by the usual suspects claiming to “debunk” supposed “misinformation” from so-called “anti-vaxxers”.

I reported on the finding of DNA contamination in COVID-19 vaccines in my June 2023 article “DNA Contamination and Scientific Fraud in Pfizer’s mRNA COVID-19 Vaccine Trial“, which includes an educational and entertaining debunking of a faux debunking of the finding of DNA contamination. McKernan had this to say about it:

McKernan’s finding was subsequently verified by other researchers, including cancer genomics expert Dr. Philip Buckhaults, who testified before a South Carolina Senate committee about the serious health implications of the DNA contamination, which include the possibility of genomic integration and mutagenic and carcinogenic effects (that is, it raises the theoretical risk of vaccination increasing the risk of cancer).

Dr. Buckhaults’ testimony was reported by the superb journalist Maryanne Demasi, but when I tried to share Demasi’s article on LinkedIn, my post was blocked on the grounds that it contained “misinformation”. As usual, LinkedIn refused to even attempt to identify anything in either my post or Demasi’s article that was false or misleading. She accurately reported the facts, but the thought-controllers just don’t want people to know the truth.

I documented that instance of social media censorship in my September 2023 article “LinkedIn Censors DNA Contamination in mRNA COVID-19 Vaccines“. At that time, Dr. Buckhaults’ full testimony was viewable on YouTube. But it was since censored by Google-owned YouTube, too. Here’s what displays now where I had embedded the video into my article:

Naturally, despite the serious safety concerns raised by it, you have never read about the DNA contamination in Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine in any mainstream media outlet. (Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong in the comments below; I’d love to be proven wrong if you can find a single mainstream media report about it.)

Now a study has been done examining the question of DNA contamination, and it confirms Kevin McKernan’s conclusion that the amount of contamination greatly exceeds the regulatory agencies’ own safety limits, which exist precisely because of the known health risks posed by foreign DNA.

The study is by two researchers from Germany, Brigitte König and Jürgen O. Kirchner, and was published in the journal Methods and Protocols on May 8. It is titled “Methodological Considerations Regarding the Quantification of DNA Impurities in the COVID-19 mRNA Vaccine Comirnaty“.

They point out how when government regulators — including European regulators along with the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) — granted emergency use authorization (EUA) to the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, a formulation of which was later approved for licensure under the trade name Comirnaty, they trusted the pharmaceutical company’s claim that the quantity of DNA impurities were within the established safety limit for “genetically engineered drugs” like mRNA vaccines.

As the study authors explain (emphasis added),

The fact that this limit value was successfully met in the production of Comirnaty was generally accepted as a given after its authorization. However, this dogma had to be reconsidered after the US scientist Kevin McKernan and his team made it public that they had found large quantities of DNA impurities in Comirnaty, most of which were present in quantities that were several hundred times higher than the applicable limit of 10 ng DNA per dose. Other scientists followed with their own results, including the Canadian group led by David Speicher and the US cancer researcher Phillip Buckhaults, who presented his findings to the South Carolina Senate.

They explain how the method used by the manufacturer to determine the quantity of DNA impurities was “inadequate” and remarked how the government regulatory agencies’ acceptance of the flawed approach “raises the question of how this can be justified.”

Basically, Pfizer only considered the amount of DNA outside the lipid nanoparticle designed to carry the vaccines’ genetic material into human cells with the intention to cause the cells to become factories generating the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus that causes COVID-19. But it should have been obvious that the DNA would also be taken up inside the lipid nanoparticles.

The study authors conclude (emphasis added),

The available information and data indicate that the ready-to-use mRNA vaccine Comirnaty contains DNA impurities that exceed the permitted level value by several hundred times and, in some cases, even more than 500 times, and that this went unnoticed because the DNA quantification carried out as part of batch testing only at the active substance level appears to be methodologically inadequate when using qPCR, as explained above. Because of the conditions during the production of the mRNA active substance of Comirnaty, the applied qPCR is designed so that a massive under-detection of DNA impurities appears to be the result.

That this under-detection was the intended result of the methodology used is implicit in how it would be the expected result.

The authors also state,

Further, it should also be taken into account that DNA impurities in Comirnaty are apparently integrated into the lipid nanoparticles and are thus transported directly into the cells of a vaccinated person, just like the mRNA active ingredient.

They comment that “the safety risks” this DNA contamination poses, “particularly the possible integration of this DNA into the human genome, i.e., the risk of insertional mutagenesis,” should be further researched.

Of course, that research should have been done before injecting millions of people with these experimental gene therapy pharmaceutical products.
