Does the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine secretly contain the mpox virus?! Take a look at the viral claims, and find out what the facts really are!

 

Claim : AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine contains mpox virus!

Some people are sharing a photo of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine package leaflet, claiming or suggesting that AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine secretly contains the mpox virus!

The photo highlights the portion of the vaccine leaflet that says that it contains a “Recombinant, replication-deficient chimpanzee adenovirus vector encoding the SARS-CoV-2 Spike glycoprotein.”

Truth : AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine does not contain mpox virus!

This is yet another example of fake news created and propagated by anti-vaccination activists, and here are the reasons why…

Fact #1 : Mpox is caused by an Orthopoxvirus

Let me start by quickly pointing out that the mpox (formerly known as monkeypox) virus is not a chimpanzee adenovirus.

Mpox is caused by the monkeypox virus (MPV, MPXV, or hMPXV) – a double-stranded DNA virus from the Orthopoxvirus genus in the Poxviridae family. It is closely related to the smallpox virus (variola)

The chimpanzee adenovirus is also a double-stranded DNA virus, but it is from the Mastadenovirus genus in the Adenoviridae family. It is similar to the adenoviruses that cause the common flu in human beings.

These two viruses are as different as cats and dogs. Cats and dogs are both mammals, but as you can tell – they are quite different animals!

Fact #2 : Adenovirus used in AstraZeneca vaccine cannot replicate

The AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine uses a chimpanzee adenovirus to “teach” some of our cells to produce the SARS-CoV-2 spike proteins to trigger an immune response.

The chimpanzee adenovirus used in the vaccine – ChAdOx1 – had already been modified from the original ChAd virus serotype Y25 to prevent replication. Therefore, the virus cannot replicate, and is incapable of producing any disease in human beings.

Fact #5 : DRC has very low COVID-19 vaccination rate

It is ludicrous to claim or suggest that the current mpox outbreak is caused by the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine, because it started in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), which has very low COVID-19 vaccination rates due to poor healthcare infrastructure, political instability and… misinformation!

According to the latest available data, only about 2.6 million people – out of 110 million people, have been vaccinated against COVID-19. That’s a vaccination rate of less than 2.5%, even if you assume they were all “fully-vaccinated”.

Fact #6 : 2022, 2024 monkeypox outbreaks started years later

The AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine has been given to over 2.4 billion people globally, since its approval in December 2020. If the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine can actually cause mpox infections, it would have resulted in massive mpox outbreaks all over the world within days of being administered.

Yet the 2022 and 2024 monkeypox outbreaks only started 1.5 to 2.5 years after the AstraZeneca vaccine was introduced. In other words – even the temporal timeline for this ridiculous claim is out of whack!
