While some studies, like those by\u00a0Dr. Sin Hang Lee<\/a>\u00a0and commissioned\u00a0by anti-vaccine group\u00a0SANEVAX<\/a>,\u00a0have found small amounts of these DNA fragments in the vaccine, scientists and health experts agree that these fragments are harmless. The human body is very good at breaking down DNA, and there is no way for these tiny pieces to mix into a person\u2019s own DNA or cause damage. According to the\u00a0FDA<\/a>, any DNA left in the vaccine is biologically inactive, meaning it does nothing to the body. This means there is no risk from these fragments, even if they are present.<\/p>\n

One of the article\u2019s claims is that the leftover DNA could cause the immune system to overreact and lead to diseases like Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), a condition that affects blood circulation. The article suggests that these DNA pieces activate something in the body called Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9), which helps the immune system recognize dangerous invaders like viruses. However, vaccines are supposed to activate the immune system so the body can learn how to fight infections safely. Just because TLR9 is involved in the immune response does not mean the vaccine is dangerous. Further, the\u00a0European Medicines Agency (EMA)<\/a>\u00a0confirmed that the HPV vaccines do not cause POTS.<\/p>\n

Scientific claims need strong evidence that different researchers can repeat. The studies that claim DNA fragments in HPV vaccines are dangerous have not been confirmed by other scientists, and their results have not been accepted by major health organizations.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, many large\u00a0studies<\/a>\u00a0have been done by independent researchers around the world, and they all show that the HPV vaccine is safe and effective. Just because scientists can find DNA in the vaccine does not mean it is harmful. The best way to know if a vaccine is safe is to look at millions of people who have taken it\u2014and the evidence clearly shows that HPV vaccines prevent cancer and have no serious risks.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
