High levels of DNA contamination have been detected in Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccines.
The finding came in a study commissioned by the Food and Drug Administration.
The study, published in the Journal of High School Science at the end of last month, was carried out by three high-school students from Virginia, under the supervision of FDA scientists.
The students found that levels of residual DNA in the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine were between six and 470 times higher than regulatory safety limits. They tested two lots of the vaccine, finding they contained “residual DNA to a level that exceeds 10 ng per dose.”
“The potential health risk posed by residual small DNA fragments is currently unknown,” the students state, but they also note that DNA contamination could cause something known as “insertional mutagenesis,” which may result in cancer.
As the Defender reports, DNA contamination in COVID-19 mRNA vaccines was first detected in 2023.
As many as eight studies have also reported similar findings.
Some experts believe the mRNA vaccines should be recalled, because the risk of insertional mutagenesis is too high.
“So far, the European, Australian, and American health regulatory boards have denied any risks from plasmid DNA contamination in the COVID-19 injections despite nine studies by internationally known research teams,” said Christof Plothe, a member of the World Council for Health’s Steering Committee.
“All teams concluded that this contamination poses an unacceptable risk to three-quarters of the world’s population… Three teams so far have demonstrated the integration into human cells. To what extent this is happening to everybody who was injected needs to be investigated.”
