DISINFO: US vaccine genetically modifies humans

SUMMARY

The US vaccine is a cat in a sack. It is fundamentally different from all others in how it works, which is very similar to gene therapy drugs. In other words, it is a variant of human genetic modification that is being slipped to people on the sly.

RESPONSE

This is part of a disinformation campaign aiming to discredit any Western vaccines in order to support the image of the Russian Sputnik V vaccine.

Deutsche Welle debunked the claim that BioNTech vaccine can alter the human DNA. The vaccine uses a technology known as messenger RNA. It uses small fragments from COVID-19's genetic code to produce a single protein of the virus inside a human body. The immune system then recognizes that structure and starts to produce antibodies to attack the virus:

"The vaccine doesn't change the DNA of a person. The Paul Ehrlich Institute in Germany, which is responsible for biomedical drugs and vaccines, says on its Internet page that there is no danger of integrating mRNA into the human genome. In humans, the genome in the form of DNA is located in the nucleus of the cell. Based on the difference in chemical structure, such integration is not possible."
