Did Moderna confirm mRNA COVID-19 vaccines cause cancer?!

Did Moderna just confirm that mRNA COVID-19 vaccines cause cancer?! Take a look at the viral claim, and find out what the facts really are!

Claim : Moderna confirms mRNA COVID-19 vaccines cause cancer!

People are sharing an article (archive) by The Expose (formerly The Daily Expose), which claims that Moderna has admitted that mRNA COVID-19 vaccines cause cancer!

Here is an excerpt of the long and (intentionally?) confusing article. Feel free to skip to the next section for the facts!

Moderna confirms mRNA COVID Vaccines cause Cancer

Moderna has admitted its mRNA COVID vaccine causes CANCER after billions of DNA fragments were found in vials of the dangerous injection.

The revelation was made after Dr. Robert Malone recently made an appearance at an “Injuries Caused by COVID-19 Vaccines” hearing led by Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), at which he revealed how Moderna’s patent shows that its (COVID-19) “vaccine” vials contain billions of DNA fragments and other contaminants linked to birth defects and cancer.

At the hearing, Dr. Malone spoke about how Moderna acknowledges in its patent that RNA is preferable to DNA in vaccines because of the risks involved, but that the company’s mRNA injection, which was administered to tens of millions of people, is contaminated with the latter.

“Moderna has a patent on the use of RNA for vaccines,” Dr Malone stated. “And in that, Moderna explicitly acknowledges that RNA is superior to DNA for vaccine purposes because problems, including the possibility of insertional mutagenesis that could lead to the activation of oncogenes or the inactivation of tumour suppressor genes.”

“FDA says they’re not aware of any concerns, but Moderna, in its own patent, lays out exactly the same concerns that exist about DNA in insertional mutagenesis and genotoxicity.

“So, Moderna knows it – DNA is a contaminant. It is left in because of the way they make it … they use DNA to make RNA, and then they degrade the DNA, and then they have to purify the degraded DNA away from the RNA, and the process they are using is not that good.”

Scientists from the United States and Canada were able to get their hands on unopened vials of Moderna’s COVID jab, with a clear chain of custody, and sampled them. This is their expertise, just to be clear: they do deep sequencing on samples and relay their findings for the public good.

What they discovered were large numbers of DNA fragments in the RNA preparation, to which they applied standard reconstruction tools to see what the circular plasmid DNAs looked like – none of this was disclosed to the public, by the way.

The documentation suggests that there are certain DNA sequences present in the vials that are normally not allowed in anything that is going to go into humans, “not the least of which is an antibiotic resistance gene,” Dr. Malone explained.

“They include these sequences from Simian Virus 40 – not the whole virus, but highly active promoter sequences – which is exactly the thing that the FDA in their older regulations said must be avoided because it confers even more risk for insertional mutagenesis.”

Truth : Moderna did not confirm mRNA COVID-19 vaccines cause cancer!

This is yet another example of fake news created / promoted by The Expose, and here are the reasons why…

Moderna did not admit mRNA COVID-19 vaccines cause cancer

Let me start by pointing out that Moderna did not admit that mRNA COVID-19 vaccines cause cancer.

If that actually happened, it would have been reported widely by the mainstream media across the world, and sparked mass outrage, criminal investigations and lawsuits. Yet, none of that happened, because Moderna did not admit that mRNA COVID-19 vaccines cause cancer.

Unsurprisingly, The Expose article did not provide any evidence to back up its shocking claim.

Moderna patent was for HPIV3 vaccines

Robert Malone referred to Moderna’s patent application US 2019/0240317 A1 in his testimony. However, that patent has nothing to do with mRNA vaccines for COVID-19.

The Moderna patent was about RNA vaccines for the Human Parainfluenza 3 (HPIV3) virus – a completely different virus from SARS-CoV-2, which causes COVID-19.

Insertional mutagenesis happens with virus infections

Robert Malone appears to refer to the Moderna patent application for saying that RNA is preferable to DNA in vaccines due to risks of insertional mutagenesis, which might activate oncogenes, or inhibit tumour suppressor genes.

But if you read the actual patent application, you can see that Moderna was referring to possible risk of insertional mutagenesis in DNA vaccines that directly inject genetically-engineered DNA into a living host:

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) vaccination is one technique used to stimulate humoral and cellular immune responses to foreign antigens, such as hMPV antigens and/or PIV antigens and /or RSV antigens. The direct injection of genetically engineered DNA ( e.g., naked plasmid DNA ) into a living host results in a small number of its cells directly producing an antigen, resulting in a protective immunological response. With this technique, however, comes potential problems, including the possibility of insertional mutagenesis, which could lead to the activation of oncogenes or the inhibition of tumor suppressor genes.

There has been no known case of vaccines causing insertional mutagenesis. On the other hand, insertional mutagenesis can occur naturally in viral infections, as many viruses integrate their own genomes into the genome of the host cells.

No evidence residual DNA is dangerous

Residual DNA isn’t something new, or exclusive to mRNA vaccines for COVID-19. Residual DNA is found in all vaccines and biological products manufactured in any kind of cell.

The risk of residual DNA has also been investigated for about 60 years now, and the US FDA has pointed out that residual DNA do not integrate into our DNA, or cause cancer.

[W]ith regard to the mRNA vaccines, while concerns have been raised previously as theoretical issues, available scientific evidence supports the conclusion that the minute amounts of residual DNA do not cause cancer or changes to a person’s genetic code.

Residual DNA is also “chopped up” into tiny pieces by the DNase enzyme, to no more than 200 bp in length. This ensures that they don’t pose any threat, even if they don’t all get filtered out.

You can read more in our article on residual DNA in mRNA vaccines.

SV40 promoter is not dangerous

The Expose article suggests that the SV40 (Simian Virus 40) promotor sequence used in the Moderna vaccine can cause cancer through insertional mutagenesis. That is not true.

Michael Imperiale, a molecular biologist at the University of Michigan Medical School, explained that the SV40 promoter, on its own, can’t cause cancer. The part of SV40 that’s potentially cancer-causing, known as the T-antigen, isn’t present in the vaccine.

Even the scientist whose testimony to the South Carolina Senate has been used to drive this controversy, has come out to dismiss the concerns that the SV40 promoter is dangerous, or can cause cancer:

It’s just the volume knob that drives high level expression of anything put under its control, which in this case is just an antibiotic resistance marker.

The fear about the SV40 sequences is total nonsense. The vaccine is not going to cause cancer. There is no cancer causing gene in the vaccine.

– Phillip Buckhaults, director of the Cancer Genetics Lab at the University of South Carolina

The Expose is known for fake news

Like Real Raw News and The People’s Voice, The Daily Expose is a website that capitalises on making shocking but fake or misleading stories to generate page views and money. It was later rebranded as The Expose.

Founded in November 2020 by Jonathan Allen-Walker – a welder from Lincolnshire, The Expose / Daily Expose is infamous for publishing COVID-19 and vaccine misinformation.

Its articles have been regularly debunked as fake news or misinformation, so you should NEVER share anything from Daily Expose / The Expose. Here are some of its stories that I personally debunked earlier:

Everything posted by The Expose / Daily Expose must be considered fake news, until proven otherwise.
