Maryanne Demasi, reports: An interview with Buckhaults about DNA contamination in covid vaccines... and the FDA responds (22 September 2023)

Summary

Investigative journalist and medical researcher Maryanne Demasi interviews Phillip Buckhaults, a cancer genomics expert and professor at the University of South Carolina. Professor Buckhaults describes how he decided to test for DNA contamination in vials of Pfizer and Moderna’s bivalent booster shots, hoping to debunk myths about contamination. However, his research revealed that billions of tiny DNA fragments are present in Pfizer’s mRNA vaccine. He highlights the need for further research to find out whether this poses any risk to people who have been given the vaccine, particularly around whether these fragments of DNA could trigger people developing cancer or autoimmune conditions.
