Could mRNA Vaccines Permanently Alter DNA? Recent Science Suggests They Might.
The Defender ^ | 4/8/21 | Children’s Health team

Posted on 04/08/2021 3:37:15 PM PDT by delta7

Research on SARS-CoV-2 RNA by scientists at Harvard and MIT has implications for how mRNA vaccines could permanently alter genomic DNA, according to Doug Corrigan, Ph.D., a biochemist-molecular biologist who says more research is needed.... Reverse transcription

As the phrase “reverse transcription” implies, the DNA-to-mRNA pathway is not always a one-way street. Enzymes called reverse transcriptases can also convert RNA into DNA, allowing the latter to be integrated into the DNA in the cell nucleus.

Nor is reverse transcription uncommon. Geneticists report that “Over 40% of mammalian genomes comprise the products of reverse transcription.”

The preliminary evidence cited by the Harvard-MIT researchers indicates that endogenous reverse transcriptase enzymes may facilitate reverse transcription of coronavirus RNAs and trigger their integration into the human genome.

The authors suggest that while the clinical consequences require further study, detrimental effects are a distinct possibility and — depending on the integrated viral fragments’ “insertion sites in the human genome” and an individual’s underlying health status — could include “a more severe immune response … such as a ‘cytokine storm’ or auto-immune reactions.”

In 2012, a study suggested that viral genome integration could “lead to drastic consequences for the host cell, including gene disruption, insertional mutagenesis and cell death.”

Corrigan makes a point of saying that the pathways hypothesized to facilitate retro-integration of viral — or vaccine — RNA into DNA “are not unknown to people who understand molecular biology at a deeper level.”

“Suggests”? “Could”? “Might”? Are we to assume that these weasel words are enough to shift the burden to the vaccine producers of proving the negative?

If the vaccines were called what they really are - genetic engineering ....

Agreed. This is not science, it's engineering.

Never would I have believed you could get these numbers of folks to accept a crapshoot vaccination, for a virus that is 99.7% survivable.

When you haven't got God and the promise of eternity, nothing is left but life within the present, and anything that threatens that is a source of terror.

Ever heard the phrase, “first, do no harm.”?

Where in the cell is the DNA, and where in the cell does the so-called “vaccine” penetrate?

Unfortunately you just can’t trust “science” much these days. Science is based on provable and repeatable experimentation. Some things they call “science” are nothing close to that.

Climate Change is not science because it cannot be repeated and there is no control group to compare it to. There probably is “Climate Change” as the earth moves from Ice Age to Ice age, tectonic plates shift, solar flares, cloud formation, space dust etc. But whether man makes global warming is dubious at best. And the “data” is thoroughly manipulated. Give me 2 calibrated thermometers I’ll put one on a 10 foot pole in a park, and another one a few 100 feet away on the blacktop by the highway. Guess which one will always give you a higher reading? So easy to manipulate the data it would be comical if this “science masquerade” wasn’t so destructive to economies and liberty.

I digress though. We have plenty of data to show that various off the shelf existing drugs, vitamins, minerals are very likely to help improve outcomes in covid positive patients when given early. For whatever reason, the nanny state and the media and the governors etc deliberately attack that data, restrict access to the medications etc while other “scientists” publish their own ridiculously conducted trials (never repeating the same protocols) in the POLITICAL attempt to cast a shadow on these potential treatments and derail the notion that some off the shelf stuff may be effective at reducing hospitalizations and mortality. That is NOT SCIENCE.

I thought about this in 1994 when I saw Island City. Most of the world takes an experimental gene-altering "youth drug," later all but a few turn into monsters while the rest retreat to "Island City."

I thought "That's not believable. Everybody wouldn't just take untested genetic drugs! But I'll still enjoy the movie." Guess I was wrong.

So my mutant superpowers should start manifesting after the second dose, correct?

“So, what mechanism do you propose for Covid-19 SARC-2 being able to alter human DNA?”

Covid-20 SARS-3.

Viruses themselves can alter cell’s DNA. That’s how some HPV cause cancer.

Yes, the vaccine producers are indeed supposed to prove the negative. They are supposed to prove it will not have such an effect.

Now they have no incentive. They are protected from lawsuits.

Yes, some cells had to die in order for the spike proteins to be made, but the spike proteins do not go on to repeat the process the way a "live" virus does.

I’m grateful for the lack of flying cars. Have you seen how people drive these days? Texting and flying could take out whole neighborhoods.

You do know that Pharma cos. Are required to prove the negative...it’s the safety part of the FDA process.

They never did this ... thus ... the EMERGENCY use only approval.
