"On Dec 6, 2023, the Florida State Surgeon General Dr. Joseph A. Ladapo expressed concerns about COVID-19 mRNA vaccines interfering with human DNA. There is no evidence to support this concern. Like many mRNA vaccines, the raw material for producing the COVID-19 mRNA vaccine contains DNA. These DNA materials are eliminated during the vaccine manufacturing process, leaving small DNA fragments in the finished COVID vaccine doses. Human cells have a mechanism for destroying foreign DNA, making it impossible for these fragments to cross into your body's DNA."
WHAT WE KNOW
Concerns about COVID-19 vaccines interfering with human DNA remain unsupported by research. The COVID-19 vaccine has small quantities of DNA fragments in them leftover from the manufacturing process. These fragments are harmless, they cannot enter the human DNA.
The DNA in the COVID-19 vaccine comes from a plasmid, or a small circular DNA molecule found in bacteria and other microscopic organisms. Scientists use enzymes to cut out a section of the plasmid that codes for a protein that is found in the COVID-19 virus. This protein will be used to help the body make antibodies against COVID. After this piece is cut, it is attached to a messenger RNA (mRNA). Extra DNA from the plasmid is broken down into tiny fragments.
To enter the human DNA, these DNA fragments would need an access signal to get through the cell nuclei where human DNA is found. In addition, it would then need a specific enzyme to integrate into the human DNA. Neither the access signal nor the enzyme are present on the fragment DNA, so it is not possible for any fragments of foreign DNA in vaccines to integrate with human DNA.
In addition to not having the mechanisms needed to enter human DNA, the body breaks down foreign DNA, meaning that any fragments of DNA present in the vaccine are destroyed by the body. The body also breaks down the mRNA that is in the vaccine.
MRNA is messenger RNA, which in the case of the COVID-19 vaccine contains genetic material that teaches cells how to make copies of a spike protein found on the COVID-19 virus. This makes it easier for the body to fight off the real virus if it is exposed to it. After the mRNA delivers instructions to cells, the body breaks it down.
The mRNA is fragile, and is carried to the cells by fatty lipids called lipid nanoparticles. Concerns have been raised that these particles may also carry foreign DNA into the cell. However, the mRNA only enters the cell cytoplasm, and does not enter the nucleus of the cell where human DNA is found.
The Florida State Surgeon General also raised concerns that a virus called simian virus, or SV40 was present in the COVID-19 vaccines. This virus contaminated Polio vaccines in the early 1950’s and 1960’s, and there have been claims that it causes cancer. Studies do not show an increased risk of cancers in those who received the Polio vaccine between 1955 and 1963. The COVID-19 vaccine does not contain any amount of SV40, and it has not been present in any vaccine since 1963.
UNKNOWNS
The FDA and CDC continue to monitor the safety and effectiveness of the mRNA COVID-19 vaccine.
