MIT & Harvard Study Suggests mRNA Vaccine Might Permanently Alter DNA After All

“The authors sought to answer how a PCR test is able to detect segments of viral RNA when the virus is presumably absent from a person’s body. They hypothesized that somehow segments of the viral RNA were being copied into DNA and then integrated permanently into the DNA of somatic cells”

In my previous blog, “Will an RNA Vaccine Permanently Alter My DNA?”, I laid out several molecular pathways that would potentially enable the RNA in an mRNA vaccine to be copied and permanently integrated into our DNA. I was absolutely not surprised to find that the majority of people claimed that this prospect was impossible; in fact, I was expecting this response – partly because most people don’t possess a deep enough understanding of molecular biology, and partly because of other implicit biases.

After all, we’ve been told in no uncertain terms that it would be impossible for the mRNA in a vaccine to become integrated into our DNA, simply because “RNA doesn’t work that way.” Well, this current research which was released not too long after my original article demonstrates that yes, indeed, “RNA does work that way”. In my original article, I spelled out this exact molecular pathway.

Specifically, a new study by MIT and Harvard scientists demonstrates that segments of the RNA from the coronavirus itself are most likely becoming a permanent fixture in human DNA. (study linked below). This was once thought near impossible, for the same reasons which are presented to assure us that an RNA vaccine could accomplish no such feat. Against the tides of current biological dogma, these researchers found that the genetic segments of this RNA virus are more than likely making their way into our genome. They also found that the exact pathway that I laid out in in my original article is more than likely the pathway being used (retrotransposon, and in particular a LINE-1 element) for this retro-integration to occur.

And, unlike my previous blog where I hypothesize that such an occurrence would be extremely rare (mainly because I was attempting to temper expectations more conservatively due to the lack of empirical evidence), it appears that this integration of viral RNA segments into our DNA is not as rare as I initially hypothesized. It’s difficult for me to put a number on the probability due to data limitations present in the paper, but based on the frequency they were able to measure this phenomenon in both petri dishes and COVID patients, the probability is much greater than I initially anticipated. Due to this current research, I now place this risk as a more probable event than my original estimation.

Thus, the rapacious spread of the “ delta variant “ from the vaccinated to the unvaccinated.

No wonder Big Tech is so excited about vaccines.

Some information about Doug Corrigan.
This is an article that totally debunks ‘Dr’ Corrigan and his theories.

An excerpt from the linked article:

Summary
This is one of the myths that will circulate through the anti-vaxxer community. And everyone will say “look, Doug Corrigan has a Ph.D., so he knows what he’s talking about.” And using confirmation bias, they will ignore all of the other researchers who don’t make these claims.

I have my concerns about the mRNA vaccines, but it has nothing to do with safety and certainly nothing to do with changes in the DNA. I think these vaccines are extraordinarily safe, short- and long-term. However, I don’t think we’ve had adequate time to establish long-term effectiveness, but I’m sure my concerns about that will be allayed as we get more data.

But right now, there is simply no evidence that the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines will have any effect on human DNA. These claims lack biological plausibility along with any published evidence.

Doug Corrigan’s claims have no merit and are pure pseudoscience.

Yeah, always accused as being a conspiracy theory as a means of intimidation to ridicule and ultimately silence. Always accusing, as in, racism, conspiracy, etc. And who is the chief accuser?

Any article that begins with the word “anti-vaxxer” in the first sentence is immediately deemed not science. Keep your propaganda.

Thus, they will own you, and you are their slave.


No breeding unless you pay the licensing fee to the vaccine producers.

Why did these researchers bother to investigate whether viral RNA could become hardwired into our genomic DNA? It turns out their motive had nothing to do with mRNA vaccines.

The researchers were puzzled by the fact that there is a respectable number of people who are testing positive for COVID-19 by PCR long after the infection was gone.

Admittedly anecdotal, but this appears to be happening a lot to people booking cruises, perhaps due to the recency of that population being tested.

A review of many posts on CruiseCritic.com has people complaining that they tested positive on PCR tests and were denied entry onto cruise ships despite having had COVID-19 months ago and are no longer infected.

From the article:

“ Again, this is a theoretical exercise I am presenting for consideration. I am not making the claim that an mRNA vaccine will permanently alter your genomic DNA, and I didn’t make this claim in my first article, although it appears that troll sites made the fallacious claim that I did. I simply asked the question, and provided hypothetical, plausible molecular pathways by which such an event could occur. ”

So, the title of the article contradicts his position.

I was wondering when someone like you would pipe in on this thread.

He doesn’t say it does change DNA 🧬 but mRNA can modify 🧬 DNA.

Pfffft. There is only one expert in the world to listen to. The expert of experts, Saint Fauci of Bureaucracy.

To the point I made in an earlier post:

This is not a retrovirus.

We know there are endogenous retroviruses in pretty much every eukaryotic organism. So why have we not found endogenous viruses (which are not retroviruses) populating our genome before now?

I am not saying the author is right or wrong.

“Some information about Doug Corrigan.

Hmmm... “totally debunks” huh?

He references: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33330870/ from December 2020... and https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33958444/ from May of this year.

but, as your article states: “But right now, there is simply no evidence that the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines will have any effect on human DNA. These claims lack biological plausibility along with any published evidence.”

You can ignore the published evidence if you like. I prefer to base my conclusions on more than just a few “select” experts.
