Vaccines do not change our molecular structure or DNA.\u00a0Dr. Paul Offit<\/a>\u00a0explains that it\u2019s virtually impossible for\u00a0DNA\u00a0fragments in COVID\u00a0mRNA vaccines to cause harm, such as cancers or autoimmune diseases. 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 tweet also shows\u00a0a\u00a0study<\/a>\u00a0from South Korea that said COVID\u00a0vaccines might raise the risk of cancer, but experts say the study has big problems. Scientists explained that the study did not look at important factors, like how people who get vaccines are also more likely to have cancer screenings. That can make it look as though more cancers are occurring. The study also only watched people for a year, or even just a month, which is not long enough\u00a0because cancers usually take many years to develop.<\/p>\n

There is also\u00a0no evidence<\/a>\u00a0that COVID vaccines cause cancer. Some of\u00a0the\u00a0most powerful carcinogens can take years to\u00a0manifest<\/a>\u00a0in\u00a0the\u00a0form of\u00a0cancer. And while there has been an increase in early-onset\u00a0cancers, this increase started in\u00a0the\u00a0early\u00a01990s<\/a>, well before\u00a0the\u00a0introduction of COVID vaccines.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
