Stop With These Baseless Conspiracy Theories
By Nana Dadzie Ghansah MD
There is another video circulating of a doctor scaring people about the COVID-19 mRNA vaccines. It is disturbing that a doctor would make and spread a clip with so much disinformation and cause fear and consternation in the middle of a pandemic. This is so so irresponsible. It is in her right to have concerns about possibilities but to spew them out as if they are happening when they are not is a pure dereliction of her duty as a physician. Unlike her, I have not studied vaccines for 20 years. However, a dive into the literature debunks all her outlandish claims.
RNA and DNA vaccines will alter our genome through a process called transfection
The only thing she got right is the use of the term transfection. However, what does she thinks happens when one is infected by a virus? That pathogen enters the nucleus and adds its genetic material to ours, changing it. Virologists do not call it transfection but that is what it is!
What we get in the COVID-19 vaccines is a very short strip of SARS-CoV-2’s genome (less than 4000 base pairs) versus all 30,000 base pairs from the virus!
