Health Canada Confirms Undisclosed Presence of DNA Sequence in Pfizer Covid-19 Shot

[Red Phoenix]

Health Canada has confirmed the presence of a Simian Virus 40 (SV40) DNA sequence in the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine, which the manufacturer had not previously disclosed.

There is debate among scientists with regards to the significance of the finding, with some saying the DNA sequence has the potential to cause cancer, and others saying it poses little to no threat.

 

“Health Canada expects sponsors to identify any biologically functional DNA sequences within a plasmid (such as an SV40 enhancer) at the time of submission,” the agency said in an email to The Epoch Times.

“Although the full DNA sequence of the Pfizer plasmid was provided at the time of initial filing, the sponsor did not specifically identify the SV40 sequence.”

The regulator said that after scientists Kevin McKernan and Dr. Phillip J. Buckhaults publicly raised the presence of SV40 enhancers in the vaccines earlier this year, “it was possible for Health Canada to confirm the presence of the enhancer based on the plasmid DNA sequence submitted by Pfizer against the published SV40 enhancer sequence.”

Both scientists made waves after discovering plasmid DNA in the mRNA COVID-19 injections, warning it could potentially alter the human genome. However, the two share different degrees of concern about the significance of an SV40 sequence—which is used as an enhancer to drive gene transcription during the vaccine manufacturing process—being present in the shots.

Messing with simian DNA... 

 

Isn't that how the Planet of the Apes movie franchise started?

Looks like the pro-vaxxers are doomed then? They will obviously mutate - just like a virus - and terrorise the anti-vaxxers. But the anties will stand strong,

 

But in the end, it will be victory for the original humans. Then the anties will be sitting pretty.

QUESTIONABLE SOURCE

• Overall, we rate The Epoch Times Right Biased and Questionable based on the publication of pseudoscience and the promotion of propaganda and conspiracy theories, as well as numerous failed fact checks.

"the Epoch Times frequently publishes pseudoscience news, such as Supernormal Abilities Developed Through Meditation: Dr. Dean Radin Discusses. They also publish false claims from Pseudoscience and anti-vaccination activist Joeseph Mercola who has a long track record of publishing misinformation. Finally, the above referenced NBC News report states, “In addition to claims that alien abductions are real and the “deep state engineered the drug epidemic,” the channel pushes the QAnon conspiracy theory, which falsely posits that the same “Spygate” cabal is a front for a global pedophile ring being taken down by Trump.”

No, DNA fragments in COVID-19 vaccines aren't linked to 'major safety concerns' | Fact check

March 29, 2024

 

"There is no evidence DNA fragments in COVID-19 vaccines pose any risk, according to the Food and Drug Administration and multiple medical experts. Such fragments are often found in vaccines for viruses. Experts say the leftover material does not cause cancer, lacks a way to get into a cell’s nucleus to change it and is found in too small of a quantity to alter a cell's DNA."

...

Experts say fear of DNA integration defies science

DNA fragments are found in many viral vaccines as an active ingredient or the byproducts of the manufacturing process, according to Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. Viruses are usually grown in cells, and some fragments can make their way through filtration processes into the finished vaccine.

...

"With over a billion doses of the mRNA vaccines administered, no safety concerns related to residual DNA have been identified," Dr. Peter Marks, director of the FDA Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, wrote in the letter. "Studies have been conducted in animals using the modified mRNA and lipid nanoparticle together that constitute the vaccine, including the minute quantities of residual DNA fragments left over after DNAse treatment during manufacturing, and demonstrate no evidence for genotoxicity from the vaccine.”

No evidence that DNA sequence used in Pfizer shot leads to cancer and other health issues

November 21, 2023

 

CLAIM: Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine contains a DNA sequence called Simian Virus 40 that can cause health problems, including cancer.

 

AP’S ASSESSMENT: False. No evidence has been found to suggest DNA fragments used in the development of the coronavirus vaccine -- such as a portion of SV40’s DNA sequence -- are causing health problems in people who have received the COVID-19 vaccine.

 

THE FACTS: A congressional hearing has revived baseless claims that coronavirus vaccines contain dangerous levels of monkey virus DNA.

Health Canada statement on DNA in COVID-19 vaccines misrepresented online

Nov 24, 2023

 

"People on social media are using a screenshot from an article to claim Health Canada concluded that a cancer-causing virus "gene sequence" from simian virus 40 (SV40) exists in Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccines. This is misleading. The public health agency says the vaccine does not contain SV40 virus, but instead an inactive fragment of that virus DNA, known as SV40 promoter enhancer, that is not harmful to humans."

...

Health Canada spokeswoman Anna Maddison said SV40 was not found in the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. However, residual DNA fragments of the SV40 promoter enhancer sequence, which is used during the manufacturing process of the vaccine, was found.

...

"The presence of the SV40 promoter enhancer sequence is not the same as the presence of the whole virus itself."

The sad reality is that anyone who tells you they know the definitive long term answer is lying to you.  It hasn't been long term yet.  We won't know the long term effects for years, decades and maybe generations.

 

In the meantime, what we do know is being hidden from us under the guise of "media fact checkers" who are no more credible than the media they're checking.

 

I got to see a life sized dose of that when I went to the ER after my 2nd Pfizer and the doctors told me they don't know what caused my symptoms the day after, but it definitely wasn't the Pfizer.  Over 2 years later, I went to the ER again for lingering symptoms that wax and wane, and the nurses and one doctor told me that they've been getting a lot of reports of my symptoms post Pfizer.  But it was in hushed tones when nobody else was in the room.

 

Selfishly, the more people that suffer the symptoms I've lived with for almost 4 years, the more they'll spend on finding solutions for us.

5 Reasons We Know The COVID-19 Vaccines Don't Have Long-Term Health Effects

Posted on February 1, 2022 by Henry Ford Health Staff

 

"...a perpetual worry that’s fueling vaccine hesitancy is the question of long-term health effects. “The only long-term effect of the COVID-19 vaccines is survival,” says Dr. Cunningham. “There are no adverse long-term effects to worry about. Contracting COVID-19, however, can leave you with lingering health problems.” 

 

Here he shares five reasons we know the COVID-19 vaccines won’t cause long-term health effects. 

1. History has showed us that with vaccines, adverse effects occur within eight weeks of vaccination—not years later. “These COVID-19 vaccines have been given to hundreds of millions of people for more than a year, so we know they are extremely safe,” says Dr. Cunningham. “You are much, much more likely to be hospitalized from COVID-19 than you are to have an adverse reaction from the vaccines.”  ...

 

4. As opposed to other types of treatments and medications that are taken regularly, vaccines can’t cause a surprise reaction years down the road. Medications that are used to manage chronic conditions are monitored by the FDA for long-term effects for years. They are completely different from vaccines, which don’t significantly or permanently alter biologic functions—nor are they used routinely.

It's sad to hear of bad effects due to the jabs. And you are on the money regarding the 'shushy-shushy' mode of the medical people,

 

We - the human race  - is at a cross road. Do we move forward and reap the rewards of tech, medical innovation and AI convenience. Is it progress? Does it all make us happyier?

 

 IMO. we would be better off is we could accept that we are a integral part of nature, It is there for us. It is not there to harm us.

1 year is long term ? Hmmm.

This thread presents a strong argument for abridging freedom of speech.

 

Will somebody please tell the idiots running this garbage it is useless without peer review, in a reputable journal?

 

I sometimes wish a virus with a 90% fatality rate would come along, so Darwin could sort them out.
