Oh, dear.
These antivaxxers are
so gullible.
FOI 24/212 DNA contamination present in the mRNA COVID vaccines, SV40 promoter sequence etc Quote:We are not aware of DNA contamination in the mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, contamination as a term tends to relate to external material. Residual DNA which is considered as a process-related impurity is tightly controlled in all authorised Pfizer vaccines (Comirnaty). The purification and quality control process ensures that leftover DNA is within acceptable regulatory limits.
Quote:No safety concerns related to residual DNA in the vaccine have been identified for any of the authorised vaccines
The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine does not contain simian virus 40 (SV40). The presence of the SV40 promoter enhancer sequence is not the same as the presence of the whole virus itself. The SV40 promoter enhancer sequence was found to be a residual DNA fragment in Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine. The fragment is inactive, has no functional role, and was measured to be consistently below the limit required by regulator.
SV40 - Wikipedia Quote:V40 is an abbreviation for simian vacuolating virus 40 or simian virus 40, a polyomavirus that is found in both monkeys and humans. Like other polyomaviruses, SV40 is a DNA virus that is found to cause tumors in animals, but most often persists as a latent infection. SV40 has been widely studied as a model eukaryotic virus, leading to many early discoveries in eukaryotic DNA replication and transcription.
Following contamination of polio vaccine batches in the 1950s and 1960s, SV40 came under suspicion as a possible cancer risk, but no subsequent increased cancer rate was observed, making such a risk unlikely.
Nevertheless SV40 has become a cause célèbre for anti-vaccination activists, who have blamed it for multiple ills, including cancer and HIV/AIDS.
Oh, this must be where Sir Nail gets the "idea" from that the vaccines contain "monkey snot".
Now we just need to find out why he "thinks" they also contain "cat's piss".
