Title: False Claims of DNA Contamination in Pfizer Vaccines Circulate on Social Media
A photo of an article from De Andere Krant is circulating on social media, claiming that the Pfizer vaccines are contaminated with DNA and could lead to the development of cancers. The article quotes several scientists, including American cancer researcher Phillip Buckhaults, who raised concerns about rare side effects of the vaccines.
However, experts have debunked these claims, stating that there are no indications of dangerous DNA in the vaccines. DNA in itself is not a dangerous substance, and there are no indications that DNA from vaccines can embed itself in our own DNA. The immune system has numerous defenses against foreign DNA, making it unlikely for the content of the vaccines to bypass the immune system as claimed in De Andere Krant.
Rumors about DNA transfer from vaccines have been circulating for some time, but extensive research has never shown an increased risk of cancer in people vaccinated with contaminated vaccines. Additionally, a preprint claiming to have found DNA from the SV40 virus in the vaccines has been discredited for using expired and incorrectly stored vaccines.
Buckhaults has urged people not to spread fear around vaccines and emphasized that, as far as is known, no cancer cases can be attributed to the Pfizer vaccine.
Playing on emotions, such as fear, is a tactic often used to spread misinformation about vaccines. Researchers have shown that strong emotions make it more difficult to critically assess the credibility of information, leading to a higher vulnerability to misinformation.
Other scientists mentioned in the De Andere Krant article also proved no ‘DNA contamination’, highlighting the need to rely on actual figures and data rather than sensational claims. Cancer registry figures do not show an increase in the number of cancer diagnoses since vaccinations started.
In conclusion, there are no reasons to believe that the corona vaccines cause cancer due to “DNA contamination”. The claims made in the article are exaggerated, and experts have emphasized the safety and importance of vaccines in preventing the spread of the virus.]
