Oncologist Angus Dalgleish has no doubt that mRNA Covid-19 vaccine boosters are causing an increase in cancer relapses and a growing number of cases of turbo cancers.
“This is happening on a horrendous scale,” he told Changing Times.
Dalgleish was commenting after a major debate in Australia: ‘The Great Debate, Port Hedland vs The Premier’, held in Perth on November 29, during which the latest evidence of dsDNA contamination in the mRNA Covid-19 vaccines was discussed. The contamination in the Pfizer vaccine has been found to be much worse than that detected in the Moderna vaccine.
A majority of councillors in Port Hedland have voted in favour of a motion calling for an immediate suspension of the use of mRNA Covid-19 vaccines.
Researchers have found that samples of the Pfizer vaccine from Canada, Australia, and Germany contained sequences of the Simian Virus-40 (SV40) promoter, which enhances the transport of plasmid DNA into the cell nucleus.
One way in which the spike protein in the mRNA boosters can induce cancer is by removing immune surveillance, Dalgleish says. It can also kickstart oncogenes, which are mutated versions of the proto-oncogenes that regulate normal cell growth and division.
“The boosters switch off the body’s T-cell response,” Dalgleish explained. “The first two vaccinations boost the T-cell response, but, every time you give a booster, you reduce the efficacy of the immune system to fight anything else.”
Anybody who has studied vaccinology knows that, if a vaccine needs a booster, it doesn’t work, Dalgleish (pictured left) says. “It’s absolutely crystal clear. It does not work. You only need boosters in immunological situations where you’ve got a major suppression. You don’t do it for a particular agent. You do it to boost the T-cell system.”
Dalgleish, who is a professor of oncology at the St George’s Hospital medical school at the University of London, is worried that this T-cell suppression will, in a few years’ time, result in a disastrous explosion of early cancers: cancers in 20- to 30-year-olds that would normally appear when a person is 70 to 80 years old.
He has been speaking out since 2022 about the increase in cancers that he and other doctors have witnessed and has written several articles on the subject.
Dalgleish says research indicates that the mRNA boosters are causing both T-cell suppression and antibody class switching.
“What the latter means is that, instead of having antibodies that will neutralise viruses and play their role in controlling cancer, you’re tolerising,” he said.
“You are basically converting the immune system into one of tolerisation, which is what you do in the case of organ transplants so as to avoid rejection.
“This is the first thing that’s happening. It is bad enough, but is potentially correctable. But it’s worse than that because we now know that the virus integrates into the genome and replicates.
“This means that it can switch on oncogenes and switch off suppressor genes. We know very clearly from lab data that it does both. I think the turbo cancers are probably caused by that.”
Oncogenes can cause cells to divide uncontrollably by making too many copies of themselves or by becoming more active than normal.
Dalgleish cites the six cases of highly aggressive cancer he witnessed after returning from a trip to Australia.
“They included a case of pancreatic cancer and a case of glioma [a cancer that starts in the glial cells of the brain or spinal cord],” Dalgleish said. “There were two cases of colorectal cancer and two cases of resurgent breast cancer.”
Dalgleish asked the patients about their vaccination history and all of them had had mRNA booster vaccinations between three and six weeks earlier.
“Not one GP, one surgeon, or one oncologist had asked about their vaccine history,” he notes.
In three of these cancer cases, the presence of the vaccine spike protein in the cancerous cells could have been proved as the tumours were surgically removed, Dalgleish says.
Dalgleish has seen patients who have been cancer-free for years, but relapsed within weeks of receiving an mRNA booster vaccination. “The reason they relapsed is because their T cells were switched off,” he explains.
The spike protein can also induce cancer by binding to the suppressor genes, Dalgleish says.
He says that everyone who’s received an mRNA Covid vaccination should be tested for the presence of the spike protein. “Not antibodies. The spike protein,” he explained. “And if it’s high, and they’ve got cancer, you would need to see how you can neutralise it.”
Vitamin D is very important, Dalgleish says, and nattokinase has been identified as having a degradative effect on the spike protein.
“We need proper research clinics to work out what is the optimum to reduce the spike,” Dalgleish added. “You can measure the titer you have treated with these potential anti-spike drugs after a month.”
It’s possible that the presence of the spike will decrease, but there might need to be treatment for two more months, and, even then, more treatment with different drugs, such as low-dose naltrexone, or ivermectin, might be necessary, Dalgleish says.
“I have a patient who has gone to a private clinic to have his levels of spike protein measured and has managed to reduce the titer,” he said. “This is what should be being done on an active government-research level.”
Anybody who looks is finding the spike protein in turbo-cancer cells, Dalgleish says. He counters the suggestion that this could be the spike protein from Covid-19 disease.
“The longest it’s ever lasted is about 20 days in the body, and that’s people sick as hell in intensive care, and, if they recover, that’s the longest. We are going 18 months and counting with circulating spike from the vaccine,” he said.
Dalgleish cites the case of one of his best friends who had a Covid booster vaccination so that he could go with his wife on a birthday cruise around the Caribbean.
“A few weeks later, he developed severe back pain. He was riddled with bone metastasis in his entire back and pelvis. The biopsy showed it was due to melanoma,” Dalgleish said. “I’ve never seen this in forty years of specialising in melanoma.
“He got the very best treatment you could get, but he didn’t even respond an ounce to it.
“In my experience, if you’ve been triple-vaccinated with mRNA vaccines, immunotherapy will not work.”
In an article in December 2022, Dalgleish wrote that some of his patients were not having a normal pattern of relapse “but rather an explosive relapse”, with metastases occurring at the same time in several sites.
“Obviously, I began to wonder whether the booster vaccines could be causing these relapses and were not just coincidence, as my colleagues were willing to suggest,” he wrote.
“Within a three-month period I have been able to identify eight people who have developed B-cell malignancies following the booster, with two of them reporting that they instantly felt very unwell after the booster, having had no problem after the first two vaccines, then describing the symptoms of extreme exhaustion and long Covid before being investigated and finding out that they had a B-cell leukaemia in two cases, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in five and a very aggressive myeloma in the other case.”
Scientists find DNA contamination in mRNA vaccines
In a preprint published on October 19, 2023, Kevin McKernan, David Speicher, Jessica Rose et al. said their data demonstrated the presence of billions to hundreds of billions of DNA molecules per dose in monovalent and bivalent Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna modRNA Covid-19 vaccines in Ontario, Canada.
“Using fluorometry, all vaccines exceed the guidelines for residual DNA set by FDA and WHO of 10 ng/dose by 188–509-fold,” the researchers wrote.
Speicher, who is a molecular virologist, has reported DNA levels in Australian vials of the Pfizer and Moderna Covid-19 vaccines that exceeded the Therapeutic Goods Administration’s limit of 10 nanograms per dose by seven- to 145-fold.
McKernan (pictured left) notes that the Pfizer plasmid maps disclosed to the European Medicines Agency omitted key aspects of “the plasmid known as the SV40 promoter, the SV40 enhancer, the SV40 origin of replication and the SV40 poly(A) signal”.
This, he explains, is 466 bases of the vector that is derived from the SV40 virus.
“It does not contain the full 5,243 base pair SV40 virus but some of the key elements for hyper expressing genes are present in the Pfizer monovalent and bivalent vaccines,” he said.
SV40 sequences have not been detected in the Moderna vaccines.
McKernan spoke at the Back to Basics Conference in Massachusetts on October 19 this year about finding SV40 in colon tumours that developed in a person in Germany who was injected four times with the Pfizer Covid vaccine. The tumours emerged a year after vaccination, McKernan said, and the person died a month later.
Three biopsies were carried out on the tumours and there was one postmortem. All showed the presence of SV40, McKernan told the conference.
“We were never expecting to find the DNA at a copy number greater than the human genome,” McKernan said.
A copy number is the number of copies of a specific DNA segment relative to a reference genome.
“The insertional mutation should be at the same copy number as another human gene,” McKernan explained.
“What we were expecting to find is something where maybe 10 or 20% of the tumour actually was mutated, therefore it would come out later on PCR than our human gene. We’re seeing the opposite here. This has expanded inside the patient …,” he said.
What the researchers discovered showed them that the DNA was replicating, McKernan said. “That tells us that the mammalian origin of replication that’s in Pfizer’s vaccine is active in human tumours.”
McKernan and his fellow researchers are now conducting sequencing to check that the high SV40 signal that they found in the colon tumours does not have causes other than the Pfizer vaccine.
In a peer-reviewed research article published in Science, Public Health Policy and the Law on December 3 this year, Ulrike Kämmerer et al. said they had analysed four German BNT162b2 (Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine) lots applying HEK293 cell culture, immunohistochemistry, ELISA, PCR, and mass spectrometry.
They said they had demonstrated successful transfection of nucleoside-modified mRNA (modRNA) biologicals into HEK293 (human embryonic kidney cells) and shown “robust levels of spike proteins over several days of cell culture”.
The researchers said they further analysed RNA and DNA contents of the vials in question and identified large amounts of DNA after RNase A digestion in all lots with concentrations ranging from 32.7 ng to 43.4 ng per clinical dose.
“This far exceeds the maximal acceptable concentration of 10 ng per clinical dose that has been set by international regulatory authorities,” they wrote.
“Gene analyses with selected PCR primer pairs proved that residual DNA represents not only fragments of the DNA matrices coding for the spike gene, but of all genes from the plasmid including the SV40 promoter/enhancer and the antibiotic resistance gene.”
Kämmerer et al. state that their finding of the presence of a DNA sequence of the SV40 promoter/enhancer is “very surprising”.
They write that it raises the legitimate question: “Why did BioNTech/Pfizer apply this totally unnecessary but highly dangerous element in their plasmids and use it as a template for the production of modRNA?”
They add: “In our opinion, BioNTech/Pfizer must be held accountable for incorporating this highly dangerous element in their plasmids.”
Kämmerer et al. say the “eternal dangers” of all RNA biologicals are four-fold:
- modRNA encoding any foreign protein will trigger detrimental autoimmune reactions;
- the lipid nanoparticles are themselves highly toxic;
- residual plasmid-DNA and reverse transcribed mRNA will genetically modify cells; and
- replacement of uridine in natural mRNA by N1-methyl-pseudouridine in synthetic modRNA causes +1 ribosomal frameshifting resulting in haphazard production of utterly alien proteins.
“Our results confirm and extend published reports and raise grave concerns regarding the safety of the BNT162b2 vaccine,” the researchers state.
“We call for an immediate halt of all RNA-based biologicals until these concerns are scientifically addressed and convincingly dispelled.”
David Speicher tweeted that the study by Kämmerer et al. was excellent and showed the presence of high amounts of plasmid DNA in the Pfizer-BioNTech Covid-19 vaccines.
He said his critiques would be that the researchers only examined four vials of the Pfizer vaccine and no Moderna vials and that using qPCR to give loads would have been better.
He cited the pluses of the study as follows:
- great method validation of the fluorometry;
- they compared RNA and DNA with a range of dyes before and after Triton-X-100 and after RNase A treatment;
- the results are comparable to those found in the Canadian vials;
- excellent use of cell culture to examine transfection and to show that the spike protein is not on the cell surface but releases into exosomes;
- excellent use of proteomics … “a huge insight that many need to examine”; and
- excellent use of IHC (immunohistochemistry) to examine successful transfection of cells.
McKernan notes in a a Substack article that the DNA is present after washing the cells. “So it is inside the cells and even 362bp amplicons can be generated from Spike,” he writes.
This suggests that the DNA is not getting destroyed by the cells, but likely triggering cGAS-STING, McKernan says.
The cGAS-STING pathway detects DNA that is not normally found in the nucleus of a cell and triggers the expression of inflammatory genes. It can promote tumour progression and metastasis.
McKernan cites research by Kwon et al. who write: “Given its role in activating immune surveillance, it has been assumed that this pathway primarily functions as a tumor suppressor. Yet, mounting evidence now suggests that depending on the context, cGAS-STING signaling can also have tumor and metastasis-promoting functions, and its chronic activation can paradoxically induce an immune-suppressive tumor microenvironment.”
McKernan adds in his Substack article: “Recall the TGA has been disregarding the König work as it didn’t use RNase A. Speicher et al. did use RNase A in his Australian vial study but they tried to ignore that because it wasn’t peer reviewed. I actually reviewed it privately. Now that debate is settled and in the peer-reviewed literature. It lines up with work that has been submitted for publication by others. Consensus is building.”
RNase A, or ribonuclease A, is an enzyme that breaks down single-stranded RNA. It is used to remove RNA during the isolation of plasmid and genomic DNA.
König et al. said in their conclusion: “The available information and data indicate that the ready-to-use mRNA vaccine Comirnaty contains DNA impurities that exceed the permitted limit 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 …
“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.”
König et al. note that DNA impurities in the Pfizer vaccine 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.
“What this means for the safety risks, particularly the possible integration of this DNA into the human genome, i.e., the risk of insertional mutagenesis, should be a secondary focus of the discussion required, which must go far beyond what could have been considered years before the so unexpected introduction of mRNA pharmaceuticals into the global market,” they add.
König et al. said experimental testing of the total DNA contained in the Pfizer vaccine via fluorescence spectrometric measurement appeared to be essential.
Why this was systematically omitted by the European control laboratories, according to the statements by the German federal government, should be the subject of extensive expert discussions and reconsiderations, they added.
During the Perth debate, McKernan expressed his concern that the DNA sequences detected in the Pfizer vaccine had been associated with cancer in the past.
“The SV40 sequences in the polio vaccine were attributed to cancer,” he said. “That was a much larger piece of sequence. It was the entire virus, but some of the elements in that virus – the SV40 promoter, the enhancer, the poly(A) signal, and the origin of replication – are some of the more potent machinery in that virus that actually drive cancer.”
McKernan added: “They’re present in the Pfizer vaccine, not in the Moderna vaccine, and it’s a concern that they’re going in at every dose, around 60 billion to 100 billion copies per injection.”
Studies have shown that the SV40 promoter binds to the P53 tumour suppressor gene, McKernan said during the Perth debate. “We don’t know what it’s doing to that gene; we just know there’s evidence that it binds to it, and that should be a red flag,” he added.
Researchers have shown that the spike sequence from SARS-CoV-2 inhibits the translation of the P53 gene, McKernan explained in Perth.
“The spike protein from the virus is very similar to the spike protein from the vaccine so it’s implied that the spike protein from the vaccine would also do this.
“My understanding of the dosages given that you can get from the virus versus the vaccine is that there’s probably log-scale more spike protein generated from vaccination than there is ever from the virus.
“So you’re giving people higher quantities, and you’re doing this probably three or four times in many cases. And you’re also giving it in a manner where it’s distributed all over the body. The virus contains itself to certain cells in the body; the vaccine does not. So there’s a much higher risk of this spike protein expression occurring universally in your body with the vaccine than there is from the virus.”
Also, McKernan says, Pfizer’s own patent shows that the company wanted to remove all DNA as its presence carried the risk of insertional mutagenesis.
The DNA in the Pfizer vaccine is wrapped in a lipid nanoparticle and this means that the rules about how much DNA is tolerable no longer apply, McKernan adds.
“This is DNA that can get right into your cells,” he said. “It’s not naked DNA.”
McKernan notes that the CEO of Moderna, Stéphane Bancel, has spoken about how important it was to get rid of DNA in the Covid vaccines because it could be oncogenic.
“He specifically warns against using a process known as qPCR because qPCR only looks at a very narrow window of the plasmid, and it can be off by 100-fold if you pick the wrong region,” McKernan said.
McKernan says Moderna’s own patents cite the need to invent new techniques to get rid of the DNA in its Covid vaccine because the DNA was so oncogenic that it would create insertional mutagenesis.
Moderna did a better job than Pfizer, McKernan says. “They don’t have SV40 and they have reduced the amount of DNA that’s in there,” he told the Massachusetts conference.
US researchers find excess levels of residual DNA in Pfizer vaccine
Investigative journalist Maryanne Demasi has revealed that researchers conducting a study on a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) campus in the US found that residual DNA levels in Pfizer’s mRNA Covid-19 vaccine exceeded regulatory safety limits by six to 470 times.
The research was conducted at the FDA’s White Oak Campus in Maryland by student researchers Tyler J. Wang, Alex Kim, and Kevin Kim with the support of FDA scientists. Their peer-reviewed study was published in the Journal of High School Science on December 29.
The vaccine vials were sourced from BEI Resources, a supplier affiliated with the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, previously headed by Anthony Fauci.
Wang et al. write: “In this study, residual DNA was detected from six vials of two different lots of Pfizer COVID-19 mRNA vaccines. The estimated amount of residual DNA in one human dose appears to be 6 to 470 times 10 ng.”
They add: “Using 4 vials of experimental mRNA vaccines, we found that two out of four vials of those experimental mRNA vaccines contained residual plasmid DNA that transformed Escherichia coli cells.
“We subsequently applied our method to assess 2 separate lots of Pfizer COVID-19 mRNA vaccines and found no replication competent plasmid DNA. However, these authorized vaccines do contain residual DNA to a level that exceeds 10 ng per dose.”
Kevin McKernan told Demasi that the findings were “a bombshell” and Nikolai Petrovsky, who is a professor of immunology and director of Vaxine Pty Ltd in Adelaide, Australia, described them as a “smoking gun”.
Petrovsky told Demasi: “It clearly shows the FDA was aware of these data. Given that these studies were conducted in their own labs under the supervision of their own scientists, it would be hard to argue they were unaware.”
McKernan said the findings were significant “not just for what they reveal but for what they suggest has been concealed from public scrutiny”.
He told Demasi that the students may have underestimated contamination levels.
“The Qubit analysis can under-detect DNA by up to 70% when enzymes are used during sample preparation,” McKernan is quoted as saying. “Additionally, the Plasmid Prep kit used in the study does not efficiently capture small DNA fragments, further contributing to underestimation.”
McKernan also told Demasi that more rigorous sequencing analysis “could reveal SV40 fragments several thousand base pairs long, which would likely be functional”.
The students concluded that, as they only detected DNA fragments with a length of less than 35 base pairs in their study, it was practically unlikely for the broken pieces of SV40 promoters they discovered to be functional.
McKernan told Changing Times that the students didn’t do the length measurements correctly and, to assert that the fragments of SV40 were not functional, they needed to prove this with transfection into mammalian cells.
“If they then ran Oxford Nanopore sequencing this would be a proper fragment length assay,” he said.
McKernan said the students also seemed to be unaware that only a 50–72 base pair length was required for SV40 fragments to be functional.
He has published a full critique of the paper here. He says in that critique: “Had the study used a DNA isolation kit that can capture small DNA, their numbers would be even higher!”
He notes: “The Wang et al. paper demonstrates even high schoolers (far above average and impressive) can find this DNA.”
Petrovsky told Demasi: “These students performed essential work that the regulators failed to do. It’s not overly complicated – we shouldn’t have had to rely on students to conduct tests that were the regulators’ responsibility in the first place.” The irony, he said, was striking.
Demasi says the students’ study “challenges years of dismissals by regulatory authorities, who had previously labelled concerns about excessive DNA contamination as baseless”.
She added: “Now that DNA contamination of the mRNA vaccines has been verified in the laboratory of an official agency and published in a peer-reviewed journal, it becomes difficult to ignore.
“It also places vaccine manufacturers and regulators in a precarious position.”
She added that addressing the contamination issue would likely require revising manufacturing processes to remove residual DNA, which Petrovsky says would be impractical.
Petrovsky told Demasi: “The only practical solution is for regulators to require manufacturers to demonstrate that the plasmid DNA levels in the vaccines are safe.
“Otherwise, efforts to remove the residual DNA would result in an entirely new vaccine, requiring new trials and effectively restarting the process with an untested product.”
Senators alerted to cancer risk
Other scientists who have found evidence of DNA contamination in Pfizer’s Covid-19 vaccine include cancer genomics expert and professor at the University of South Carolina Phillip Buckhaults.
Buckhaults found billions of tiny DNA fragments in the Pfizer vaccine and testified about his findings before a South Carolina senate hearing.
“There’s probably about 200 billion pieces of this plasmid DNA in in each dose of the vaccine and it’s encapsulated in this lipid nanoparticle so it’s ready to be delivered inside the cell,” he told the senators.

“It’s surprising that there’s any DNA in there …,” Buckhaults said. “I’m kind of alarmed about the possible consequences of this, both in terms of human health and biology, but you should be alarmed about the regulatory process that allowed it to get there.
“So this DNA, in my view, it could be causing some of the rare but serious side effects like death from cardiac arrest …
“This DNA can and likely will integrate into the genomic DNA of cells that got transfected with the vaccine mix.”
The DNA is different from RNA because it can be permanent, Buckhaults says.
“This is a real hazard for genome modification of long-lived somatic cells like stem cells, and it could cause theoretically … a sustained autoimmune attack toward that tissue,” he told the South Carolina senators.
“It’s also a very real theoretical risk of future cancer in some people. Depending on where in the genome this foreign piece of DNA lands, it can interrupt a tumour suppressor or activate an oncogene.
“I think it’ll be rare, but I think the risk is not zero and it may be high enough that we ought to figure out if this is happening or not …
“In my view, somebody should go about sequencing DNA samples from stem cells of people who are vaccinated and find out if this theoretical risk has happened or not. I think this is a real serious regulatory oversight that happened at the federal level …”
Buckhaults explained that the DNA pieces that are in the Pfizer Covid vaccine are short little pieces.
“There’s some that are about 500 base pairs, a few that are even 5,000, but most of them are around 100 base pairs,” he said. “The probability of a piece of DNA integrating into the human genome is unrelated to its size so your genome risk is just a function of how many particles there are.”
Buckhaults says the pieces of DNA in the vaccine are analogous to buckshot. “You have many, many thousands of opportunities to modify a cell of a vaccinated person,” he said.
“The pieces are very small because, during the process, they chopped them up to try to make them go away, but they actually increased the hazard of genome modification in the process.”
Buckhaults says the FDA should force Pfizer to get the DNA out of the booster and all future versions of its Covid vaccine.
He explained to the senators that naked DNA gets chewed up immediately upon vaccination and there’s no real mechanism for it to get inside the cells.
However, he said, the regulatory limit was applied to the new kind of vaccine where, he says, “everything is encapsulated in this lipid nanoparticle; is basically packaged in a synthetic virus, able to dump its contents into a cell”.
Contaminants found in human blood samples
In April this year, Indian scientist Sandeep Chakraborty published a preprint entitled ‘The bloodstream of mRNA vaccinated individuals (both Pfizer and Moderna) shows DNA expression vector contamination, including SV40 and kanamycin-resistant gene sequences’.
It was a report on the presence of the expected SARS-Cov2 spike mRNA and the undesired DNA components in the blood of vaccinated individuals.
Chakraborty analysed the published sequencing data of blood primarily from two major studies in Germany and Australia. His analysis showed the presence of the vectors McKernan et al. had assembled by sequencing the contents of four vials of the Moderna and Pfizer bivalent mRNA vaccines (two of each).
“These are sometimes in copious amounts, and could be assembled to obtain significant portions of the DNAAVs [DNA expression vectors],” Chakraborty wrote.
In the study in Germany, published in January 2024, all of the individuals had received a first vaccine dose (either mRNA or the adenoviral-vectored ChAdOx). Blood was drawn before and after the 2nd and 3rd doses, which were always Pfizer, and sequenced.
In the first cohort, the DNAAV contaminants persisted for at least two weeks, Chakraborty reports.
In the case of one individual, Chakraborty reports that blood drawn after 24 hours was unique in that it contained a lot more contaminants, including the kanamycin-resistance gene.
“Significant parts of the DNAAV could be assembled from the sequences … which includes SV40 and kanamycin-resistant genes,” he writes.
In another confirmatory cohort, samples were taken before and 24 hours after vaccination in 25 individuals. These individuals also showed the presence of DNAAV and, in one case, vaccine components were present before the third vaccination. This showed the persistence of vaccine components after the 2nd vaccination, Chakraborty says.
A study published in March 2023 involving adults from Adelaide, South Australia, showed that, in the case of the mRNA vaccines, the spike mRNA and the DNAAV could be detected in almost all of the 75 individuals, often at high levels.
SV40 is an oncogenic virus, Chakraborty notes, and the carcinogenesis is caused by T1 proteins. “Only a small peptide of the T1 protein is present, along with other regulatory sequences,” he writes. “However, the dangers of DNA integration in chromosomal regions having tumor suppressor proteins could lead to cancer …
“Additionally, since parts of the DNA expression vector is known to increase transcription, their insertion near oncogenes will increase the risk of cancer.”
Chakraborty says that, for vaccination on such a huge scale, it is not prudent to keep second guessing based on data scavenging.
“There should be a clearly defined set of experiments to determine the extent of contamination, and the time-period the vaccine lasts in the bloodstream, tissues and in case of integration in the genomes,” he said.
McKernan notes that the studies reported on by Chakraborty used Qiagen RNA preps, which don’t capture all the DNA as they are meant to capture RNA not DNA. “They still see the contaminants,” McKernan said. “That implies that the contamination levels are much higher than he reports.”
Australia’s regulator dismisses reports of vaccine contamination
Dalgleish dismisses attempts by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) in Australia to counter the evidence of vaccine contamination. The TGA, he says, is not fit for purpose.
The TGA has described reports that Covid-19 mRNA vaccines are contaminated with excessive levels of DNA as misinformation.
“While the TGA welcomes and constantly reviews the latest scientific evidence about the safety of vaccines and other biotechnology products, these recent studies fail to apply the required scientific rigour expected in pharmaceutical testing,” the administration said.
“As such, the results are not robust or reliable, and are creating confusion and concern regarding the safety of vaccines.”
The TGA says that fluorometry is known to overestimate DNA levels in the presence of mRNA, that some of the studies in question use a very small sample number, and that studies used samples that were well past their use-by date.
Some samples had already been opened and used and were not suitable for testing, the TGA said.
“To date, neither the TGA nor any international regulator has established a causal link between Covid-19 vaccines and any type of cancer,” the administration added. “There has been no evidence of mRNA vaccines or biological medicines used in Australia resulting in integration of residual DNA into human DNA genome.”
Maryanne Demasi said during the Perth debate that she had put the TGA under the microscope and compared it to five other major international drug regulators. The investigation was published in The BMJ in 2022.
Compared to other drug regulators, the TGA has the highest percentage (96%) of its operating budget that comes from the drug industry – the very industry it’s meant to regulate, Demasi said.
She added that 94% of drug applications submitted to the TGA were approved and 20% of drugs were approved via expedited pathways.
These expedited pathways have a lower burden of proof for safety – and this is the pathway used to grant ‘provisional approval’ of the covid-19 mRNA vaccines in 2021, Demasi says.
Drug regulators consider residual DNA to be a “process-related impurity”, Demasi notes. Normally, the plasmid DNA, which is used to manufacture the vaccine, is digested by enzymes and removed from the final product, she says.
Demasi notes that drug regulators have a permissible limit for residual DNA in biological products like vaccines, but that limit has increased significantly over time. In 1985, the US FDA set an upper limit of 10 picograms per dose, she says, but today, that limit has increased 1,000-fold to 10 nanograms per dose.
Dalgleish makes reference to Japanese research data that was reported on in an article published in Cureus in April this year. The article by Miki Gibo et al. was entitled ‘Increased Age-Adjusted Cancer Mortality After the Third mRNA-Lipid Nanoparticle Vaccine Dose During the COVID-19 Pandemic in Japan’.
Gibo et al. aimed to evaluate how age-adjusted mortality rates for different types of cancer in Japan changed during the Covid-19 pandemic (from 2020-2022).
They found that no significant excess mortality was observed in 2020, but some excess cancer mortalities were observed in 2021 after mass vaccination with the first and second Covid vaccine doses.
The researchers said that significant excess mortalities were observed for all cancers and some specific types of cancer, including ovarian cancer, leukaemia, prostate cancer, lip/oral/pharyngeal cancer, pancreatic cancer, and breast cancer, after mass vaccination with the third dose in 2022.
Gibo et al. said that age-adjusted mortality rates for the four cancers with the most deaths (lung, colorectal, stomach, and liver cancers) showed a decreasing trend until 2020, but the rate of decrease slowed in 2021 and 2022.
“These particularly marked increases in mortality rates of these ERα-sensitive cancers may be attributable to several mechanisms of the mRNA-LNP vaccination rather than Covid-19 infection itself or reduced cancer care due to the lockdown. The significance of this possibility warrants further studies,” Gibo et al. wrote.
An ‘Expression of Concern’ was published about the article in June, and it was retracted.
Investigative journalist Rebekah Barnett reports on Substack that internal TGA emails reveal that the Australian regulator withheld knowledge of DNA contamination risks relating to the modRNA vaccines from the public, presenting a picture of certainty about safety where there is none.
Dr Melissa McCann made a Freedom of Information request for all TGA correspondence related to the production of the TGA webpage and associated social media posts regarding allegations of DNA contamination in modRNA vaccines.
The communications released as a result have “further exposed the regulator’s duplicity on this matter”, Barnett says.
“Released under Freedom of Information (FOI), the cache of emails shows that high-level TGA staff knew elements of the modRNA vaccines can enter the cell nucleus and integrate into the genome, despite the agency’s official line that such events are not possible,” she writes.
“Involved in these communications were staffers from the TGA’s Scientific Evaluation Branch (Toxicology and Biological Science Sections), Pharmacovigilance Branch, Communications team, and even TGA boss Professor Tony Lawler, showing that personnel at the highest levels are aware of the potential risks associated with synthetic plasmid DNA in the modRNA shots.”
TGA personnel appear more preoccupied with “allaying fears in the public” than with investigating the potential risks, Barnett says.
The released communications show that the TGA’s real conclusions about risks of DNA contamination are contrary to official TGA and Department of Health messaging, which has vehemently denied that genomic integration of modRNA vaccine elements is possible at all, she adds.
“The TGA has repeatedly stated that modRNA vaccine elements cannot enter the nucleus of cells, nor can they integrate into the genome,” Barnett writes.
“Internal emails show that senior staff within the agency know this isn’t true.”
On November 25 this year, an international group of politicians and leading medical and other professionals wrote to the heads of state of ten European countries calling for a suspension of modified mRNA vaccines, citing serious health concerns.
“The introduction of foreign DNA into cells via lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) may damage human DNA leading to genomic instability, cancer, and other extremely serious conditions,” they said.
UPDATE
The FDA is distancing itself from the study about DNA contamination that was published in the Journal of High School Science even though the research was conducted at an FDA lab with the assistance of FDA researchers.
An FDA spokesperson said the information and data presented in the study did not belong to the FDA and was “not the agency’s to disclose”.
The agency did not comment on individual studies, the spokesperson added.
The FDA did not respond to questions about whether it was doing any follow-up work in relation to the student researchers’ findings, whether there would be an FDA investigation into the findings, or whether it was considering any regulatory action as a result of the student researchers’ study.
The spokesperson focused instead on defending Covid vaccination and stated: “Based on a thorough assessment of the entire manufacturing process by the agency’s scientific experts, the FDA is confident in the quality, safety, and effectiveness of the Covid-19 vaccines that the agency has approved and authorised.
“The agency’s benefit-risk assessments and ongoing safety surveillance demonstrate that the benefits of their use clearly outweigh their risks. Additionally, with over a billion doses of the mRNA vaccines administered, no safety concerns related to residual DNA have been identified.”
Kevin McKernan described the FDA’s response as a “shockingly tone-deaf declaration”.
He said the agency was failing to address a study “performed with their funds, in their labs, under their scientists’ supervision, that highlights a major risk with the Pfizer vaccine”.
He added: “They claim the vaccine is safe because they already gave it to billions of people. Billions of people also smoked cigarettes and that didn’t make them safe.
“While they assure us the benefits outweigh the risks, neither assurance is quantified. What are the benefits for 6-month-olds? What are risks?”
McKernan cites a case highlighted by emergency physician Joseph Fraiman, who has questioned the FDA about its surveillance of adverse events.
There was a lack of rapid FDA follow-up when, in February 2023, one of Fraiman’s colleagues – a paediatric rheumatologist – filed a VAERS report about a seven-year-old who suffered a cardiac arrest about thirty hours after his first Covid vaccination (the Pfizer vaccine).
Fraiman’s colleague didn’t receive any follow-up from the FDA. When the seven-year-old died eight days later, the doctor emailed the FDA offering to update his report, but had still heard nothing from the agency two weeks after the boys’ death.
McKernan says there is no way that Americans can have faith in the FDA’s statements when the agency is clearly failing to track important deaths.
“It’s time for America to repeal the 1992 Prescription Drug User Fee Act that enables the majority of the FDA’s budget to come from the companies they regulate,” he said.
