Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo is calling for a halt to the use of mRNA Covid shots, arguing the shots pose an “elevated risk to human health and to the integrity of the human genome.” Despite the Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) repeated assurances that the vaccines are “safe and effective,” Ladapo questions whether mRNA shots could introduce DNA contaminants into human cells, triggering cancers and adversely impacting reproductive health of men, women, and their offspring.
In a Wednesday statement, Ladapo said, in part,
DNA integration poses a unique and elevated risk to human health and to the integrity of the human genome, including the risk that DNA integrated into sperm or egg gametes could be passed onto offspring of mRNA COVID-19 vaccine recipients. If the risks of DNA integration have not been assessed for mRNA COVID-19 vaccines, these vaccines are not appropriate for use in human beings.
The move follows the FDA’s response to Ladapo’s inquiry about this matter. In the letter to Ladapo, Dr. Peter Marks of the FDA Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research stressed,
We would like to make clear that based on a thorough assessment of the entire manufacturing process, FDA is confident in the quality, safety, and effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccines. [Emphasis in original.]
Marks further stated that there was no evidence of harm to the human genome:
Additionally, animal studies with the mRNA delivery technology done over the past decade show no evidence of genotoxicity. Moreover, we now have access to global surveillance data on over one billion doses of the mRNA vaccines that have been given, and there is nothing to indicate harm to the genome, such as increased rates of cancers.
Ladapo was not convinced, pointing to the lack of evidence that would back Mark’s claims:
The FDA’s response does not provide data or evidence that the DNA integration assessments they recommended themselves have been performed. Instead, they pointed to genotoxicity studies — which are inadequate assessments for DNA integration risk. In addition, they obfuscated the difference between the SV40 promoter/enhancer and SV40 proteins, two elements that are distinct.
A detailed analysis of misleading claims and gaslighting in Marks’ letter was provided by mRNA pioneer Dr. Robert Malone and is available at The New American. It concludes,
The US FDA has clearly failed to establish that it was aware of the contamination or adulteration of COMIRNATY or SPIKEVAX final drug products with plasmid DNA fragments, and has completely failed to insist on the testing necessary to both establish dose limiting toxicity of DNA fragments when delivered to animals or humans using these highly active lipid nanoparticle formulations. Furthermore, in the written FDA response to the December 6, 2023 inquiry from Dr. Ladapo concerning the risks of this contamination, the FDA has demonstrated a lack of rigor in addressing the questions posed which is combined with a series of statements which can only be interpreted as either ignorant, incompetent or intentionally misleading.
Ladapo took to X to criticize the federal healthcare apparatus for failing to address concerns over DNA contamination, which he called “intolerable.”
Ladapo has been the lone surgeon general criticizing the federal healthcare agencies for the lack of transparency regarding the safety and efficacy of Covid shots. In September, he recommended that individuals under the age of 65 should not receive the latest mRNA Covid booster and suggested that those 65 and older should consult with their doctor before getting vaccinated. In October 2022, Ladapo recommended men under 40 forgo mRNA jabs, citing a 84-percent increase in the relative incidence of cardiac-related death among males 18-39 years old within 28 days following mRNA vaccination.
