The Food and Drug Administration is mulling over conducting its own evaluation of the levels of DNA in COVID-19 vaccines, an FDA official has disclosed.

“I'll say that that is something that’s being discussed,” Dr. Tracy Hoeg, a senior adviser to the FDA’s commissioner, told members of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s vaccine advisory panel on Sept. 19.

Canadian officials in 2023 confirmed to The Epoch Times that Pfizer’s vaccine contained a DNA sequence that the manufacturer had not highlighted. Some scientists, including former Johnson & Johnson scientist David Wiseman, said they were concerned about the impact of residual DNA left behind by the sequence, which had been used in the past for manufacturing other drugs.

That DNA could integrate into the human genome and create autoimmunity problems, Kevin McKernan, who has confirmed the presence of residual DNA in COVID-19 vaccine vials, told The Epoch Times.

The FDA, in a brief statement in 2023, did not say whether it was aware of the sequence.

 

McKernan has a post on X with a video where he goes through the proper way to test vaccine samples, versus what the mRNA peddlers told the FDA to do.

Using fluorometry, total DNa in all vials tested exceeded the regulatory limit for residual DNA set by the Us Food & Drug administration (FDA) and the World Health Organization (WHO) by 36–153-fold for Pfizer and 112–627-fold for Moderna after accounting for nonspecific binding to modRNA. When tested by qPCR, all Moderna vials were within the regulatory limit, but 2/6 Pfizer lots (3 vials) exceeded the regulatory limit for the SV40 promoter-enhancer-ori by 2-fold. the presence of the sV40 promoter-enhancer element in Pfizer vials raises significant safety concerns. This study emphasizes the importance of methodological considerations when quantifying residual plasmid DNA in modRNA products, considering increased LNP transfection efficiency,and cumulative dosing presents significant and unquantified risks to human health.

Real-world studies on vaccine effectiveness may suffer from several biases, typically distorting their results. a previous article on the population of an italian province,correcting the “immortal time bias”, showed worse results for the all-cause death of the vaccinated compared to the unvaccinated. this article highlights the “case counting window bias”, that considers the vaccine recipients “unvaccinated” usually for 14 days, a time interval reputed necessary to express the vaccine immune response. We aim to document this bias in an italian region, calculating the daily death incidence for each age class of vaccinated and unvaccinated and checking their all-cause mortality difference within the considered time window. indeed, in this window the two groups showed huge differences in all-cause deaths, that cannot be attributed only to cOViD-19 deaths (in the absence of reasons to expect significant vaccine effects on non-cOViD-19 deaths). in conclusion, analyzing the data of an italian Region, we found evidence of the ‘case counting window bias’, which artificially increases the ‘unvaccinated’ mortality and reduces the mortality in the vaccinated.

The scary thing is the peak of all-cause mortality hitting weeks after injection. If there is a causal mechanism that takes so long to occur, a lot of safety testing isn't going to pick that up.

Dunno if its the same protein, but amyloid plaque has been the default hypothesis for Alzheimers for a couple of decades now (and absorbing something like 99% of the research funding). 

Supposedly the amyloid plaque hypothesis is unraveling under the scrutiny of empirical data. It would be tragically ironic if amyloid plaque was the causative mechanism for post-COVID/post-mRNA harms.

This is a whitewash. Their unadjusted data show the reverse – most Covid-19 vaccinations increased cardiac risks. The fact that the authors studiously refrain from referring to or discussing the markedly adverse incidence ratios after vaccination is strongly indicative of bias, although at least they included them in the tables, taking a risk that close readers might notice their significance.

Is anyone still surprised by the "fancy footwork" in the pro-vaccine publications?

Random conversation running through my head for the last two weeks that I can't shake.  Over the holidays met some friends for Thai food and a fair amount of drinking in Cambridge, all of whom work in infectious disease and therapeutics, vaccine development, and a couple who have been CDC pandemic prevention.  Got to speculating that Covid was a dry run for something but we started spitballing what it might be.  Then one of the group threw out the following.

"So China is screwed because of demographics right?  Far too much of an elderly population for the productive generations and the ratio is going to keep skewing worse and worse.  Same problem for most Western and Asian nations, right?  So here is a lab developed pathogen that kills the old and physically weak (hence, less productive and more likely to need care and resources) and unlike most respiratory pathogens effectively ignores infants, kids, teenagers, and adults to 40-50.  And we did a global test on the rapid response vaccine platform to find out the flaws and risk to the productive generations on a scale you could never do in clinical trials.  Man, if it just had closer to 90+% lethality for the over 50 age set China could solve almost all of it's problems with that virus."

We all sat there, talked a little bit and then kind of looked at each other as the happy fun buzz had dissipated and all went home within 15 minutes.  I have no idea how accurate this could be but I can't stop kicking it around in my head. . .

I've read that sort of thing before, often attributed to Bill Gates and the whole "useless eater" thing. 

Of course, given the potential for widespread, lifelong cardiovascular illness among the 15-40 age set, probably will not work out as seemingly planned.

The thing is, there are some fairly clear markers in the genome that it was designed to minimize the effects on developing and infant immune systems so it really does keep appearing more and more like it was targeted against elderly while protecting the young in a way you don't generally see in nature.  That's what made it spooky for us, there's a lot in the virus that make this more plausible than I would like.  Probably a good thing they f'ed up the lethality part so we may actually have gotten lucky it leaked before it was allegedly ready.

It would be indiscriminate and even China couldn't control the spread happening inside of the mainland.

There are signs of that virus having deleterious effects on child bearing capability of women, so it is not so clear cut.

this is why I don't go out to eat with nitflegal.  It's too painfully educational.

Some theories that seem implausible are actually not.  So it is with this one.

Anthony Fauci privately acknowledged “impressive data” showed stronger immunity from a COVID-19 infection than vaccination while publicly pushing mandated shots, newly released documents show.

By the time scans revealed clots “everywhere” (not ten, not twenty, but hundreds), the damage had cascaded through multiple organ systems. His lungs were failing. His kidneys were shutting down. His heart was giving out. And because he’d arrived actively bleeding, doctors couldn’t give him blood thinners to address the clots.

 

Quote

 

With defences compromised, the patient becomes vulnerable to secondary infections like influenza or RSV. This is what gets diagnosed and treated. The COVID infection? Already cleared from the system.

Then, weeks later, the real damage begins. A delayed immune response to viral spike protein triggers autoantibodies that attack the body’s own tissues. The result is what Dr. McMillan calls a “Spike Triggered autOimmune Response Mechanism (STORM)” hitting multiple organs simultaneously: the heart (myocarditis leading to failure), the lungs (emboli and tissue death), the brain (inflammation causing confusion and mini-strokes), the kidneys (nephritis), and the vasculature itself (clots forming on both the venous and arterial sides).

 

 

Quote

 

As COVID continues to circulate globally, Dr. McMillan believes presentations like Reuben’s will become increasingly common, and increasingly missed. The absence of a positive test. The weeks-long gap between infection and crisis. The multi-system nature of the damage. All of it conspires to obscure the underlying cause.

Medical literacy has become a survival skill. Families may need to advocate for diagnostic approaches that clinicians haven’t yet embraced. The earlier inflammatory processes are identified and treated, the better the chance of preventing irreversible damage.

 

 

Misdiagnosis seems to be pretty common, as apparently encountered recently by Victor David Hanson

That last sentence is terrifying. Most of the leaders in the field that I know have, like myself, retired but I'd love to ask about.
When I was doing stuff in serological diagnosis (NOT a vaccine of something administered to a human) we synthesized a short sequence (about 14 AA's) for the antigen in a sandwich assay. So that it could not be easily sequenced and identified by competitors, a few irrelevant AA's were tacked on that did not participate in the immuno reaction. Just camouflage.
Stray DNA sequences let loose in people is ill-advised. Though it is "dose dependent", so to speak, auto-antibodies to DNA/Chromatin components (let abundently loose in the bloodstream from abnormal levels of apoptosis) are themselves the major causative agent of the best known, essentially archetype autoimmune disease, Lupus Erythematosus. And that's not even with DNA that can can be incorporated into a gene. The whole thing sounds kind of sloppy.
