COVID vaccines are neither\u00a0gene\u00a0therapy<\/a>\u00a0nor\u00a0experimental<\/a>. They were thoroughly tested in large studies and do not change your DNA, as mRNA cannot enter the nucleus of the cell,\u00a0but instead teach your body how to fight\u00a0the\u00a0virus without giving you\u00a0the\u00a0illness.<\/p>\n

Clinical trials and studies show that these vaccines are safe for\u00a0children<\/a>, with serious side effects being extremely rare, while COVID-19 itself can cause long-term health problems, even in kids. Public health experts make vaccine recommendations based on scientific evidence, not ideology, to protect as many people as possible, especially the most vulnerable. While booster shot uptake has slowed, this is often due to misinformation or pandemic fatigue, not because the vaccines are harmful.<\/p>\n

Stopping mRNA vaccines entirely would leave people at\u00a0risk for serious illness<\/a>\u00a0and death, as these vaccines have already saved millions of lives worldwide. Vaccines are like a safe and temporary training session for your immune system, teaching it how to protect you better in the future.<\/p>\n

Ladapo, on the other hand, is\u00a0accused<\/a> of committing\u00a0scientific fraud\u00a0and manipulating\u00a0data\u00a0to claim that the mRNA vaccines increase the risk of cardiac death.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
