He outlines three protective mechanisms in our cells that prevent these\u00a0DNA\u00a0fragments from causing harm:\u00a0the\u00a0cytoplasm\u2019s immune mechanisms and enzymes destroy foreign\u00a0DNA;\u00a0the\u00a0DNA\u00a0fragments lack a necessary signal to enter\u00a0the\u00a0nucleus; and they also lack\u00a0the\u00a0integrase enzyme needed to integrate into our\u00a0DNA.<\/p>\n

There is\u00a0no scientific evidence or plausible mechanism<\/a>\u00a0suggesting that these DNA fragments would alter our genome to cause cancer. No evidence supports\u00a0the\u00a0claim that COVID-19 vaccines cause so-called turbo cancer or any other form of cancer.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0idea that these\u00a0turbo\u00a0cancers are a result of vaccines stems, in part, from claims that doctors are seeing huge spikes in\u00a0cancer\u00a0rates. However, even some of\u00a0the\u00a0most powerful carcinogens can take years to\u00a0manifest<\/a>\u00a0in\u00a0the\u00a0form of\u00a0cancer. While there has been an increase in early-onset cancers (not\u00a0turbo\u00a0cancer), this increase started in\u00a0the\u00a0early\u00a01990s<\/a>, well before\u00a0the\u00a0introduction of COVID vaccines.<\/p>\n

Vaccines are\u00a0not shown to cause\u00a0cancer<\/a>, and anti-vaxxers have yet to produce credible\u00a0evidence<\/a>\u00a0the\u00a0vaccine is causing cancers, turbo or otherwise.<\/p>\n
