New Warnings Show DNA Contamination and Persistence of Spike Protein in COVID Vaccine Recipients
Regulatory Agencies Are Ignoring Science Which Continues to Paint a Troublesome Picture
On August 31, 2023, roughly two weeks before the latest COVID booster recommendation by FDA/CDC/ACIP, independent researchers published an online, open-access analysis announcing “…it is possible to distinguish, by tryptic digestion, followed by mass spectrometry analysis, synthetic Spike proteins originated from the translation of the mRNA vaccines from natural Spike circulating in biological fluids.”
In other words, the researchers devised a method to determine how long the synthetic spike protein created by mRNA vaccines was present in the human body of vaccinated individuals.
This was a big deal. Their approach represents the first proteomic detection of recombinant Spike in vaccinated subjects. How long did they find it lasted?
They write, “The specific PP-Spike fragment was found in 50% of the biological samples analyzed, and its presence was independent of the SARS CoV-2 IgG antibody titer. The minimum and maximum time at which PP-Spike was detected after vaccination was 69 and 187 days, respectively.” Below is a chart from their study comparing the detection of the spike protein in the body of vaccinated and “after infection non vaccinated.”
The FDA and CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) didn’t care and approved the new COVID booster anyway calling for yearly boosters ‘like the flu shot.’
The mRNA vaccine technology used against a circulating coronavirus is a new, never-before-used approach and method. Proper safety testing and an understanding of what happens when you repeatedly inject billions is unknown. Why? Well because it was an emergency we were told…we just didn’t have time. You understand right?
Yet, with the newly updated booster announced by the CDC for 6 months and older, with no exceptions we are still aggressively injecting. Why? America is the outlier with its cavalier approach to experimenting on its population as new warnings appear almost weekly from this injectable tech platform.
The CDC states mRNA vaccines use mRNA created in a laboratory to teach our cells how to make a protein that triggers an immune response inside our bodies. The COVID vaccine’s one and only purpose is to create that spike protein. It has only one job.
Did regulators or the pharmaceutical companies making the shots care to understand what else that spike did after it was created or how long it persisted?
Pfizer’s Nonclinical overview submitted to FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, a document which doctors had to sue the agency in court to obtain, states:
“The protein encoded by the RNA in BNT162b2 is expected to be proteolytically degraded like other endogenous proteins…Therefore, no RNA or protein metabolism or excretion studies will be conducted.”
In other words, we aren’t going to bother looking because one can’t find what one doesn’t search for.
Side note, this same approach is used in most other vaccines on the CDC schedule as regulatory agencies allow the companies a free pass to not evaluate shots for “carcinogenic or mutagenic potential.”
Two years later, public assertions like the one from The Infectious Disease Society of America still regularly repeated estimates that the spike proteins generated by COVID-19 vaccines last up to a few weeks.
The flashing warning of public health ignorance and medical neglect carried all the way to CDC’s ACIP meeting in 2022, two years into the most aggressive vaccine campaign in world history when Professor of Pediatrics at Nationwide Children’s Hospital Dr. Pablo Sanchez asked the therapeutic head of Moderna’s respiratory vaccine division the following question:
“I’ve asked this before and I just don’t have a clear idea about how long the spike protein the messenger RNA in our bodies produce…how long has it been detected in patient serum or tissues or even in animal studies? Do you know how long it may persist in blood or serum or tissues?”
To this question, Rituparna Das, Moderna’s Therapeutic Area Head of Respiratory Vaccines and the company’s ACIP lead answered:
“The spike protein, ah, availability I believe is on the order of days, but, like less than a week. But I will confirm that with our tox [toxicology] folks as well.”
No one knew for sure, not even the injectable product’s manufacturer, and more importantly, no one cared to know.
Yet the spike continued to turn up as the culprit in more pathogenic insults to humanity. In 2023, researchers reporting circulating spike protein detected in post–COVID-19 mRNA vaccines myocarditis stated:
“A notable finding was that markedly elevated levels of full-length spike protein, unbound by antibodies, were detected in the plasma of individuals with post vaccine myocarditis, whereas no free spike was detected in asymptomatic vaccinated control subjects”
The CDC/ACIP response was that the benefits outweigh the risks…simplistic, insulting, and lacking transparency talking down to the people being targeted by this novel shot.
The authors of the August 2023 suggested that the spike protein may be integrating into the human cells. A similar, and in ways more detailed, warning was just given by well-respected cancer genomics researcher at the University of South Carolina Phillip Buckhaults, Ph.D. during his recent testimony in front of the South Carolina Senate Medical Affairs Committee which he stated, among other things, that:
The Pfizer mRNA vaccine is contaminated with the plasmid DNA vector that was used as the template for in vitro transcription reaction.
This DNA could cause rare but serious side effects like death from cardiac arrest.
The DNA can and likely will integrated into the genomes of transfected cells.
There is a very real hazard for genome modification of long-lived somatic cells, which could cause sustained autoimmune attacks towards that tissue.
There is also a theoretical risk of future cancer, depending on the piece of DNA and site of integration.
The CDC’s website states the following outdated and scientifically lazy explanation, at best, of what happens to human DNA after being injected with COVID-19 shots.
According to Professor Buckhaults, this is just not true…at all.
Two further points raised by Professor Buckhaults were first, that the plasmid DNA contamination was not present in the material used in Pfizer’s initial vaccine trials for regulatory approval. It was only after approval and rapid scale-up of manufacturing did the company used questionable, scientifically reckless techniques which led to the contamination. Second, Professor Buckhalut’s lab, a world leader in this type of research, estimates that each vaccination contains about 200 billion pieces of plasmid DNA encapsulated in the lipid nanoparticle.
We know it is now a basic technique to find the synthetic spike in vaccinated individuals. Perhaps even more troubling, it’s basic genetic research to find out if the plasmid DNA is integrating into and forever changing the DNA/genetics of vaccinated individuals yet health agencies and labs just don’t seem to want to look.
With the CDC clearly not willing to do even the most basic steps to regain the public trust lost, as new director Cohen claimed was her main goal, the public must back away further from an apparently rogue government body. As prominent scientists and doctors denounce the agency and its products, we have hit breakaway speeds into historically uncharted territory as public health agencies, once a fixture running in the background of America, have become a cyclic, menacing threat with each new booster rollout campaign.
Appreciate your tenacious work! I look forward to every Highwire episode. Keep up the great reporting! 👍
Thank you for your great coverage, as always. I know you haven't emphasized the details of Buckhaults' testimony, but I would like to make a few observations about it.
To be blunt, to me, the testimony of Buckhaults looks like a whitewash. On the surface he says all the right things - so dangerous to have these DNA capsids, you know. (Well, at this point, who doesn't know that.) But look at the subtext of this entire conversation that Buckhaults has with the committee. First Buckhaults is very careful to emphasize that this was accidental. Everyone was so rushed. There's even a law (a heuristic type, not a legal type) that says don't call something malfeasance when stupidity can explain it. Now there's deception, masquerading as a law, that can be used to whitewash almost anything. Doesn't anyone else find themselves saying, "thou dost protest too much?" No, no malfeasance, he says. He is just so prepared on this particular point. And as a reward, the spokesman for the committee just gushes and assures him he will be protected for being almost a whistleblower. What that means is, not that he's a whistleblower, but that he's a player.
By comparison, Dr. Lindsay, whose testimony follows that of Buckhaults, calls out the malfeasance, but gets no such enthusiastic affirmation. She's clearly not a player. So she gets a staid and polite interaction - the type you reserve for someone who has said just a bit too much - a conspiracy theorist, perhaps. No, nobody said that. Nobody had to. Ninety percent of communication is reading between the lines.
Notice, also, how Buckhaults' testimony comes across as a carefully orchestrated dialogue that absolves the state from doing ... anything at all, really. The committee is just trying so hard to figure out what it can do on behalf of the residents of their little great state. But in their dialogue with Buckhaults, they just can't seem to find the right path, find a way to take the bull by the horns. Poor little state. They are so dependent on the feds. It's such a big project. No, you can't just have my lab run a test, Buckhaults says. Well, technically I could do it, but that wouldn't be smart. We need lots and lots of tests for credibility - it has to be a big project, too much for our state to handle. Well, we tried. It's on the record, how hard we tried to find something to do.
Most importantly, however, is that Buckhaults' testimony places all of the blame for adverse events with respect to these injections on the plasmids. Hey, just clean that up and you can take the injections with full confidence, right? The contrast is so stark that Buckhaults won't get jabbed until the plasmids are gone, but if you get rid of the nasty plasmids, then he's good to go. So there you have it - the adverse events are real, the danger is real. That's what everyone wanted to hear, right? It's the plasmids, stupid. They ARE the issue. Just tweak the concoctions in your vats, and you will have a safe and effective vaccine, the way it was supposed to be. Because nobody here acted with anything but good faith. So we can fix it. We can save the shots. We might have been a bit careless, perhaps, but we've all done that, haven't we? We know what it's like to be in a hurry. And now that we've caught it, pinned the tail on the proverbial donkey, we can get on with the program.
Dr. Lindsay told the truth.
